Technical Features include:

• New player physics:
  • Three movement speeds: Creep, Walk, Run.
  • Leaning round corners
  • Mantling - pulling yourself up onto ledges
  • Climbing ladders and ropes
• New maps:
  • Thievery currently has 11 gorgeous maps, with more in production.
  • Environments offer a high degree of interactivity, with objects to pick up and use, levers to pull and extensive use of dynamic light.
  • Huge collection of custom textures
  • Over 125 objects modelled for items and scenery, e.g. crates, food, candlesticks, loot, etc.
• New player models:
  • Thief
  • Guard
• New weapons and equipment:
  • Bows and crossbows with a variety of special projectiles.
  • Melee weapons - with continous collision detection as the weapons swing, meaning if you swing a mace into a wall, you'll see it smash against the wall, rather than just playing an animation on top of the view.
  • Special items for the thieves and guards to use, e.g. flashbombs, caltrops, mines, flares, etc.
• New gametypes:
  • Two game modes:
    • Thieves vs Guards - the main game mode, where the team of thieves has to break into a well guarded location, steal the loot and escape, while avoiding the bloodthirsty guard team.
    • Thiefmatch - still in early stages of development, but this gametype puts the thieves competing against one another to complete the objectives.
  • Objectives - Thievery features a flexible objectives system where the mapper is free to script any objective he likes.
  • Solo Play - the game modes can all be played singleplayer, with you taking the role of a lone thief against AI guards.
• Improved sound system:
  • By default UT will play sounds right through walls, Thievery checks the flow of the sound through the level to decide if you can hear it or not.
  • Thievery features a large collection of sound effects:
    • Per surface sounds for footsteps, projectiles and other objects: Stone, metal, tile, wood, dirt, carpet, gravel, snow.
    • Ambient sounds and music
    • AI speech and player taunts
• Particle system:
  • Thievery uses a particle system coded by c0mpile (of Irrational Games) used for a variety of effects: Splashes of water, fire, rain, snow, etc.
• Complex AI:
  • Guards see things and hear noises, reacting as you'd expect.
  • Fully mapper customisable in appearance, skill, equipment, orders, etc.
  • Guard players can order AI guards in-game, getting them to guard key places, to patrol or follow.
  • A number of voice sets, with over 150 samples in each one.
  • Leaping, hissing spiders OF DEATH.
• Multiplayer:
  • All the above are network ready, and the slower paced, sneaky gameplay is easily playable even on a 56k.
