William Faure from '85 Productions' has announced the renaming of his Wolfenstein-focused company and provided us with an update on his projects in development. Here's what he had to say:
You may ask yourself the reason for the name change. Well, this is a tribute to 'Gray Matter Interactive', the defunct company behind the development of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which was founded on March 25, 1993, by Drew Markham and Barry Dempsey. In 2018, founder Drew Markham passed away at the age of 59. Without him, Return to Castle Wolfenstein wouldn't have seen the light of day and I have decided to pay him tribute in many ways ever since.
As you previously read, instead of the anatomic title, 'Gray matter', I've chosen to go with the physical cosmology-styled title of, "Dark matter". Let me explain. Gray Matter Interactive may have opted to use 'Gray matter', a major component of the central nervous system, due to the fact that playing video games leads to brain stimulation. I've chosen 'Dark matter' for 'Dark Matter Productions' as a way to refer to what started, nearly a decade ago for the company, its very own 'big bang', 'The Dark Army'.
Thus, I can only hope that all of you will like this new 'signature' and the reasoning behind it. Also, expect a huge status update regarding our mods on May 28th, the day of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory's 17th anniversary:
More details will be shared in the coming weeks so, in the meantime, please make sure to stay tuned. It's gonna be well worth the wait! - William Faure
Dark Alchemy Community is glad to announce its return to the 'Wolf:ET' scene, with new forums and a NoQuarter server for 42 players. The Community was born in 2005 with players that wanted to play only for fun and ran until the year 2017.
Due to many requests from all 'DA' members and regulars, the 'Dark Alchemy' staff decided to restore the community for the pleasure of all those who fondly remember it .
On behalf of Wolffiles and Splatterladder, welcome back to the community, 'Dark Alchemy'!
'RtCW Clonewar Village', created by Flipmode and Vicpas, is the prequel to 'Clonewar 2044'. It tells the story of a village occupied by Germans forces, close to the Russian border. Axis scientists have managed to build a timeportal there and they plan to travel into the future in order to utilise advanced technology, know as 'cloning'.
If these scientists are successful, their main objective in reproducing a huge number of cloned combat troops will become a reality and as a result of this, all Allied forces will be annihilated.
Screenshots:
Changelog:
1 - The level Clonewar_Village was optimized with textures/common/areaportal. 2 - Added more effects on explosions (Cannons and lanterns) 3 - Added a final cutscene . 4 - Added a "notebook" with mission instructions. 5 - Added new sounds for weapons (MG42, MP40, Mauser_Rifle and Dynamite)
Wolfetplayer has released the latest version of his 'RealRtCW' modification for 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein'. This new release is entitled, 'RealRtCW 3.0 - Complete Edition' and to refer to this as being 'just' a mod is most definitely not doing it justice.
This is the equivalent of a complete rebuild of this classic game, including a new game engine, new weapons, new high polly models, atmospheric effects, HD textures, a new 'HUD' and 'UI', a new recoil system and as if all that wasn't enough, we now have support for 35 of the very best custom singleplayer add-ons.
What if you want to try the 'vanilla' release of 'RtCW' on its own, without all of the custom add-ons? That's no problem either, because Wolfetplayer has created a 'lite' version of 'RealRtCW' for this very purpose.
This new release is a masterpiece and a definite 'must have' for all fans of 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein'.
Gert, from the 'Enemy Territory II' devteam, has released a new video update on the progress of their project to date and as we can see from the new video a great deal has been achieved.

Week 5 of the 'RtCW Winter Storm 2020' tournament is upon us as we see Bonkas versus OMG and FF versus Trinity as the featured matches. As always, the frag action features the official MerlinatoR shoutcast and the excellent video highlights are courtesy of Homie from 'Crossfire'.
This is a very modern and updated version of the superb 'RtCW SP' adventure, 'RtCW Saboteur'. It's been created by Vicpas and RDigital for the hugely popular mod, 'RealRtCW' and you therefore need this mod in order to enjoy this new singleplayer mission.
Storyline:
You're an Allied Secret Service Agent who's been tasked with infiltrating an Axis Complex which houses the latest and most deadly version of the famous V2 Rocket created so far. You must find a way into this secret base, locate the rocket and destroy it before it's launched against Allied military targets.
It's week four of the 'RtCW Winter Storm 2020' tournament and at this stage in the frag action 'every point is a prisoner'. This week we see the battles between ROZ versus Trinity and KiH versus DHS.
Many thanks to MerlinatoR for the shoutcast and to Homie from 'Crossfire' for the excellent video highlights.
