Leaving TAM

[thamis]

Hello to all my TAM collaborators and fans of the MOD!

I sadly have to let you know that I will no longer be able to be the head of the TAM development team. I am starting a job as junior game designer in a few days, and the company would not be happy with me putting design ideas into two projects at the same time.

I must say that I had a great time working on TAM, with a great team of designers, coders, and artists. I also have to say to all TAM-fans that many of your comments made me (and the team) really happy -- it's great to know that this project is very popular!

Last but not least, without the community this project wouldn't be possible. All your comments and play-tests made the mod what it is now!

From now on, Laurino is the lead designer of TAM. He's in full control now.

I'll still be here though, reading what you say and replying to comments and questions.

Bad news for tam-fans.

Thanks for all your hard work with TAM for Civ4, as well as Civ3. The best historical mod for sure.

And good luck in your new job.

I've been playing TAM for Civ3 more than any other mod, so that this piece of news makes me feel like it's an end of an era. For me, I have already gotten into the idea that there is no Civ3 or Civ4 without TAM, and no TAM without Thamis. No offense to the other designers of the mod, of course.

So I just wanted to thank Thamis for all his work with TAM and wish good luck with the new job.

Of course TAM will survive! Thanks for the encouragement! Everything that I know about modding, Thamis tought me, so I'm most gratefull to the man! As for the mod itself, don't worry, thnigs will go on. As Thamis wrote, a great deal of this mod comes from community inputs, so keep this forum (and me) busy!

Thanks for giving us TAM, Thamis, and good luck with your new job. Don't forget to keep us updated on any new game-projects. Don't worry 'bout us, we'll be alright. No really, we will

We can't thank you enough, thamis!
TAM is the best mod ever.
Good luck in your new job.

 

[Red Door]

Congragulations and Good Luck to you Thamis on your new ambitions!

You will be sorely missed, both for the Civ 4 mod, but also for the Civ 3 mod.

Laurino, have good luck keeping us hungry wolves satisfied.

Man, I just join the team and then Thamis leaves. Good luck Thamis.

 

[Spartan117]

Wow, i never posted in here just looked around every once in a while. I have played TAM, it was really good. I like all of the additions you and the rest of the TAM team made.

This has truly become one of the "legendary" type mods.

Congrats on your new job, wish you the best of luck. (not that you need any)

That's it - you now have zero excuse not to play MP with us. We'll even let you live long enough to build Javelineers. Maybe.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Good luck on the new job and thanks for the incredible work with the Mod. Let us know how your new job develops.

Thanks for all the hard work. TAM has created many, many, many hours of enjoyment for me.

 

[Opuhara]

many thanks for this very enjoyable mod, documented and mind opener
I am sure things will go on considering the participation of the community

good luck for the new direction your life is taking

welcome to laurino as the one in charge

once again thank you

Hi Thamis,

I've been lurking around here for a while, but now i feel i have to say this: you did an excellent good job with this mod, it is the best i've played so far in civ4. You have kept the fine ballance between adding a lot of cool innovative features and keeping things simple, not cluttering the game with unnecessary stuff. Excellent work, especially by creating a specific 'feeling' to the game, i guess you have what it takes to be a 'game designer'
Good luck with your new job, and i hope the others that remain to continue the work on TAM will maintain and improve the quality of TAM.

Eugen

Of course TAM will go on. I'll help make sure of it

Well some of us old-time TAMsters from Civ3 will be hanging around to help out, if not with the coding at least an idea or two.

You tell him Jet. I am about to subjugate his beloved Lydia right about now! Thamis, I'll be talking to ya man. Journalism and game design all in one package. You da MAN!

Thank you for your generosity, thamis.
