QuoteGreat Ruby.Sooner than you would think?So i hope you ment summer.How many % is done?I cant wait.

Btw 2:28.Nice detail  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

 




Ok. So a lot of people who watched my most recent trailer have probably been wondering when "Sooner than you'd think..." is.


 




Well, as you all know that seeing as these are story orientated mods I really can't give much away in terms of updates so's not to spoil things for you.


 




However. Part 2 is nearly done. And so I thought I'd answer the question that Samo asked.


 




"How many % is done?": The mod is now 85% or so completed.


 




So all in all, the release date I am hoping for this mod is the middle of August/Early September.


 




Of course, depending on how much time I invest in the mod over the next few weeks (I am a working man who does 30 hours a week as well as keeping up a social life) it could be more or maybe less.


 




All I ask for is your continued patience  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  You've all been great and given me much support and I thank you all.


 




Not long now guys and gals.

Ok guys 'n' gals. I know I've been inactive for a little while. But I've not stopped work on this.


 




Its just I've had nothing to show.


 




Until, now that is  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




So I present to you.


 




The Commission Mod - Part 2 "Choices" trailer.


 









<div></div>

 




Enjoy and be sure to let me know what you think. I hope this trailer will set the mood for you all as to what part 2 will contain.

QuoteI would be very greatfull if you even manage to finish those 3 parts.Commision mod 1 is very nice.




How much time do you think it will take to finish the second part?

 




Oh don't worry, friend. I WILL finish these other 2 parts. I promise you all that I will.


 




The second part is about half way done now (50%) It should not take too much longer.


 




I am opting for an August/September release date. Of course, it could be shorter or longer than that. I am not sticking to that release date so don't go counting down the days. The only real answer I can give is it will be done when its done. Like I said. It is 50% complete now and I don't plan on rushing anything.

Just a quick change of plans guys and girls


 




As you may of read. I originally planned this


 

Quoteinstead of a trilogy we will now get one extra installment. 




The Commission Mod - Epilogue



 




Won't go into details but. It will involve Franco's son, the 1950s, Sultant City again and last but no means least...Sicily!

 




However, I completely forgot that Franco's son was infact killed in a car bomb in part 1  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20"> ops:  My bad  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




So in short, there will be no part IV/epilogue and I am now sticking with the original 3 part idea.


 




Sorry about that  


 




Regards

QuoteHow about you finish your trilogy step by step first instead of talking about more ideas which will only delay the release?.

 




Don't worry, mate  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  It makes no difference. Seeing as each part is being made individually (step by step as you said) I don't need to worry about new ideas holding up developement as they will simply just be included in the next part. And seeing as the Epilogue will be a new part entirely when Part 3 is released you will already have the whole Commission Mod story anyway. The epilogue will just serve as, well, the epilogue. Closure  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

QuoteI like the new idea.The trilogy seemed exaggerated to me a little bit.

 




The trilogy is still being made. I was just saying that I've now decided to go for 4 parts instead of 3. The 4th part will serve as the epilogue.


 

QuoteThe trilogy seemed exaggerated to me a little bit cuz one unit would easily give up.

 




What do you mean by "one unit would easily give up"?  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Ok then guys and gals. Here it is then. Just a taste mind you  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  Can't be giving too much away.


 







 




Franco taking part in an illegal boxing ring against a moolie? What could this be about? (Giovanni is also there behind the cage, although he doesn't look too pleased about seeing Franco participating)


 




Stay tuned.


 




Hope you enjoyed this minor update and new piece of info.


 




I would mark part 2 at being about 45%/50% done. Things have been progressing faster recently and I intend to keep up this pace.


 




Regards to all.

So glad you asked JoJo  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  Because...


 




Here we are!!!


 




Now, what I am about to show, has been on my ideas board for 2 years (since the disappointment of Mafia II infact). So...


 




I present to you all...


 




MY ULTIMATE REVENGE ON 2K!
  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:


 




So's not to give away the story. I shall stick with the basics.


 




Franco has been sent to OBLITERATE! the "2K Shipping Co." (because games were not around back then  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  ).


 




No witnesses must be left alive. So Franco has been sure to clean house here.


 







 




And after planting a few explosives at several gas mains around the warehouse buildings.


 







 




The 2K Shipping Co is toast. Franco's job is done, and my revenge on the cheating bastards is finally complete!


 







 




For all the loyal Mafia 1 fans, this was for you. Its not 2K's actual headquarters (unfortunatly  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  ). But its close enough to have given me some form of satistfaction, and I hope it has for you too  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




Regards and stay tuned for more updates.

P.S - Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to show this to the "lovely" guys and gals at 2K. Who thinks I should? (Not that it matters, I probably will anyway  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  )

Ok. Part 2 is back on track!  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




Time to fire up the mod tools and crack on, still got quite a way left to go.


 




All I ask in return is your continued patience.

This project is dead. I am opting to do something else instead. Turns out my video making/directing skills are not as good as I thought. I will still be celebrating Mafia's 10th anniversary on August 28th by showing you all a contribution of mine for it, but it will be something a little less demanding than the likes of this.


 




Sorry to get everyones hopes up.

QuotePlease tell me they'll be playing the theme music, it's the only rightful song for this anniversary!<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="1022" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>

There are two songs lined up. And two seperate events.


 




The first, will be an orchestral performance at the theatre of the Mafia theme music.


 




The second will be a party on the little island by the park off New Ark (where you kill Mr. Sewer) and every character will be there (from the priest, to Bobby. And Biff to the green alien in Freeride extreame). With a gig of "You run your mouth and I'll run my business" as covered by the Salieri band  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

As I said this morning. I present you all with some sneak peak screens.


 




People arriving at the Lost Heaven Theatre. Where a special orchestral performance is ready to begin.


 







 







 




People line up, awaiting to be admitted to the show.


 







 




Its gonna be a good night. The crowd are ready and waiting.


 







 




Some of the images you see now do have some tweaks that need to be made. But you get the general idea here  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Asa, my man. I am absolutely STUNNED!!!   hmy:   hmy:   hmy:   hmy:


 




I mean. This. THIS. Is nothing short of...well, mindboggling work.


 




People go around saying my Commission Mod is a contender for the best mafia mission mod. But I am by no means a humble man. I've never thought this. I've always admired the work of you and Michal Safanik so much more. You guys are my idols.


 




You must keep up with this. This is great stuff. I love the man in the window looking down on you and Billie. How on Earth did you ever figure out how to cut a hole in a model and implement an interior on the other side like how Illusion did it? If you were to teach me this I would be greatful. After all, we've all got to do what we can to keep Mafia alive.


 




I had better calm myself down now before I just faint over the sheer awesomeness of these screens.


 




Keep on this, man. Don't let life, computer failure, anything get in the way of sending this to the can. You absolutely have to finish it.


 




Good luck


 




Finest regards
