Double Take While Trick-or-Treating

My upcoming module, Faithless, is still taking a backseat to another module I'm making for Bouncy Rock's Halloween campaign. I have less than three weeks to complete my little mod of horror, but I'm hoping to wrap it up by next week at the latest. I'm not going to say much about what my module is about. I'd rather have players find out for themselves when Bouncy Rock releases the entire campaign. To compensate for my reticence, I present the following pictures, each of which is worth a thousand words.

Looking good. From what I can judge, our concept may not be that far off from yours. It'll definitely be fascinating to have this compendium of different builders' works to experience in one shot. Sort of like a collection of short stories from various authors.

one of those screenies is eerily close to something I have set up ! As EC says it's going to be interesting to see peoples ideas - and how (un)like minded we are as builders!

LOL! Great minds think alike, I guess.

An excellent choice of lighting and tileset design, Elysius - it looks like you've built quite the haunted manor!

Do I sense a hint of "Silent Hill"? I could be wrong...but double vision makes me happy.

Hi, Chaos Wielder. I haven't played Silent Hill, although I saw the movie version when it first came out. I actually didn't have Silent Hill in mind when I started making this module, but now that you brought it up, all I can say is that there is cause for you to be happy. ;)

Nice mood in those shots. Oh, nice isn't the correct word - creepy and eerie. Looking forward to see the work of so many talented builders come together.

Converting Skyrim Armor to NWN2, Part 1

Image
Four months ago, I offered to write a tutorial for Casadechrisso on how to convert armor made by Skyrim custom content makers into NWN2 armor. I didn’t actually know how to go about it, but I assumed that it wouldn’t be too difficult for me to figure out. Well, Casadechrisso accepted my offer about two months ago, which is why I’m posting yet another tutorial series on game modding. I haven’t actually completed the conversion as of this time, so this blog post is as much a tutorial as it is a journal of my progress. Conversion Problems Converting model files between video games is not without its problems, especially if the games are very different from each other. For example, it is possible to convert NWN models to NWN2 models, but the results often look crude and blocky. Likewise, converting Skyrim models to NWN2 models may be problematic for two reasons. Firstly, Skyrim armor has way more polygons than are recommended for NWN2, which is still slow compared ...

What Kind of Creature Are You?

Several days ago, I took a 9-question test at Quiztron called "What Magical Creature Are You?" . It's a multiple-choice personality test of sorts, but I'm certain that it has no scientific basis whatsoever. The Quiztron site lets anybody create their own test, so I think it's safe to say that nearly all of them did not originate from someone with a Ph.D. in Psychology. This particular test was apparently created by a girl who was between 13 to 17 years old when it was posted a little over a year ago. Nevertheless, the test was fun and took me less than a minute to complete. Reading the comments page , I found that possible results included dragon, elven warrior, and werewolf. Here's what I got: Demon You are dark and don't take s*** from anyone. You are a powerful creature and skilled in battle. Most fear you, but a few are on your side. Skilled in battle? I couldn't help but laugh. Nevertheless, I liked the test enough to try another one. This time,...

Killing Your Boss Requires Careful Thought

In computer games, nothing gets a player’s adrenalin pumping more than a great boss fight. If a battle can be likened to a multi-course meal, the boss is the pièce de résistance , the culminating moment to which all other minor encounters lead. There is more to designing a memorable boss encounter than giving the boss far more hit points and damage than most other enemies. The encounter should be difficult enough to force players to re-evaluate their strategy and think on what course of action to employ. Below is a list of ways to add spice to your boss fights. Many of the suggestions listed below can be combined with others to create challenging battles. Resistance to Damage Type . The boss may be resistant or invulnerable to specific types of damage. The challenge for the player is to discover what damage type hurts the boss the most and to apply it to the boss without getting killed first. For example, as anybody who has seen The Wolfman movie knows, werewolves can shrug off d...
