Press Release
For Immediate Release
In the mean streets of the Internet, fandom carries a gun.
Off Topic Productions invites you into a whole new world where
online communities have become Tron-esque cities,
where moderators and forum trolls fight their endless battles
with semi-automatic weapons, and where one man is about to find
out that taking down cyberpunk conspiracies isn't all fun and
games....
The Nameless Mod for Deus Ex is one of the most ambitious
single player modifications ever created. Seven years in
development, its features include 2 unique storylines —
each with an average of 15 hours of playtime — over 50
non-linear levels, more than 70 characters, and over 14 hours
of fully voiced dialogue. All of this is built on the classic
Deus Ex mix of FPS and RPG action, and is now available for
Deus Ex (PC) owners everywhere. Download it from
http://www.thenamelessmod.com/
.
"We're extremely excited to finally unleash this 7-year
labour of love on gamers everywhere," says lead designer
Jonas Wæver. "Even 9 years after its release, Deus
Ex has few equals. We feel that we've succeeded in playing to
its strengths, while still creating a unique, immersive new
experience."
ModDB.com Media Editor Dave Traeger, who played a pre-release
copy of TNM, states, "To sum it up in one word: Amazing.
It's a must-download."

TNM High-Level Summary
Executive Summary: The Nameless Mod
("TNM") is the largest mod in existence. With two
distinct storylines comprising over 30 hours of gameplay, 200
unique characters, and more than 14 hours of voice acting, its
development has been a giant undertaking. In production since
2002, TNM takes place in the virtual representation of an
online forum, thrusting the player into a city in chaos.
Surrounded by religious fanatics, evil corporations, and
panicked citizens, the player must unravel the mysterious
kidnapping of a powerful peace-keeper.
Plot: Chaos rules Forum City. A moderator
has been kidnapped, cults are at war, and opposing factions all
seek to gain ultimate control. Returning to the city after
a two-year hiatus, ex-intelligence operative Trestkon is called
upon to unravel the mysterious kidnapping and bring some
semblance of order to the troubled city. Allies must be chosen
carefully, and their trust earned. Will you join the existing
government or side with an evil mega-corporation? Perhaps
you will seek the wisdom of the cult devoted to The Great Goat
or their bitter rivals, the worshippers of Llama? No matter
who you choose, be sure to watch your back — not everyone
is happy about your return....
People Behind the Mod: TNM has been put
together by an international game development team called
Off Topic Productions. Dozens upon dozens of people, from 5
different continents, have contributed to TNM, with a core
team of only 3 people being involved throughout, and talented
individuals contributing for various stretches of time. It is
estimated that over 15,000 working hours have been invested
into TNM, resulting in a product that the developers can be
proud of.
