Postmortem: The Nameless Mod

One of the most beloved and influential games on PC in the last decade has been Eidos and Ion Storm's ambitious Deus Ex; this postmortem tells the story of its conversion into The Nameless Mod, an entirely new community-driven game.

Says Jonas Waever, who worked on the total conversion:

The Nameless Mod for Deus Ex, released nine years after Ion Storm's magnum opus, strives to reproduce the multilinear design and unique aesthetics that made Deus Ex such a widely beloved classic. While expanding on Deus Ex's core gameplay, the Nameless Mod also introduces players to an outrageous new world which is at once an homage to, and a satire of Deus Ex, its community, and the internet at large.
