NWN2 Modding project

Oh, you're a ****in' tease, aren't you? )

 

It's not very nice to play with our poor fan feelings

Fan feelings aside, those look pretty good.

"Arrogant Bitch" is so my next avatar.

Infamous seductress or corpse raven.

How exactly does one become a corpse raven? Or a porcelain mask?

[Darque]

Hey, those look cool.

Not sure about the first one (could have something to do with corpse looting?) but IIRC, you get Porcelain Mask by being indifferent to other people's problems.

 

BTW, those icons look great.

[Dagon]

hey J.E. great work indeed

i'm looking forward to play Blackhound

[J.E. Sawyer]

Thanks for the kind words. Here's a small glimpse of the first community the Protagonist is likely to enter. I think it's at about 90% visually. I've laid out all of the "featured" interiors and exteriors in the module and created all of the NPCs, but only a small number of dialogues.

Those icons and that screenshot have brought a poisonous tear to this devil's eye...

[Pop]

Here I was thinking this was just a joke you had put way too much effort into ^_^

 

Are you planning on making a gestalt adventure, or releasing a sort of episodic content, town-by-town deal? I don't know how much of the Black Hound was planned out, but it must have been fairly long.

Curses to that myopic, directionally-challenged PC who torments us by not looking towards the town!

One big campaign. TBH was designed to be very open, and I think it would undermine some of my goals to make it episodic.

I don't have any custom buildings for White Ford, so the three distinctive elements of the community are the small fords themselves (though the "real" ford over the River Arkhen lies outside the town), Beacon Tor, and the Wolf Wall. One of the fords and the Wolf Wall can be seen in that shot. When I think I have enough going on "fo' rilla" in the town, I'll take some more shots.

[Sand]

Very nice. I do look forward to this.

[ramza]

I have got only the following thing to say:

 

 

He who laughs last, laughs best.

[Sand]

HA!

 

I will laugh last!

This sounds great - and brings some questions to mind,

 

Are you going to do the whole thing yourself or are any of your fellow Obsidianites going to contribute? Maybe some who also worked on the original?

 

Are you able to use the assets from the original game? Do you have the original dialogue you can just plug in? It would be cool if you could incorporate some of the art into the game.

 

Any chance it could become some kind of premium module that is staffed, financed, etc. etc.

Also, it seems like a big undertaking, how long do you think it would take to complete something like this?

[Sand]

The big question here is will J.E. change the death rules for his module. Permadeath anyone?

Whoa (w00t) That looks cool.

I might wrangle a few assets out of some people if I can convince them to help me. Other folks are contributing advice on level building and scripting and generally just offering encouraging comments.

 

The only assets I can use from the original game are the design docs I wrote and the dialogues I wrote.

 

I don't really want it to become a premium module. I'd rather work on it by myself as a personal project with all of the inherent benefits and limitations that come with that. I think it will probably take me between 1 and 3 years to fully build.

 

Since this isn't actually my thread, I'm going to stop answering questions now. When I have more to show, I'll start a new thread specifically about the campaign.

 

P.S.: Permadeath with a "death's door"-style system is planned.

[Tigranes]

OH, MY, GOD.

 

Someone get a stopwatch and time how long it takes for ramza to arrive.

 

[Pop]

He arrived several hours ago

 

But Josh is keeping mum until he's got more to show, so let's try to stay on topic, eh?

[Leferd]

This is so cool. I'll be keeping track of this.

[213374U]

Awesomeness-driven much?

Don't stop on my account. This project looks great and I'd love to hear whatever you have to say. Besides, the title just says "NWN2 Modding project" that is what you are doing.
