Happy Halloween

Rejoice, players of NWN2, rejoice, for the Halloween 2008 campaign from BouncyRock Entertainment is now available at the Vault. This campaign is packed with delightful tales of horror from over twenty module makers. Decapitated heads, blood all over the floor, entrails from a corpse -- what's there not to like? My son says that this is the most fun he has ever had with a computer game. Isn't he the most precocious three-year-old?

LOL! He's just outside our house! Hey, this was supposed to be PG-13! ;) Still, I'd be pretty pleased if we managed to give a 3-year old a fun chill or two. :)

Did he like his candy? :)

Just played your mod now, and it was great.

**SPOILERS**



I loved what you did with the mask. You also brought the adventure game experience to NWN2 in a very convincing fashion. That was fun and novel. I'd really like for you or others to exploit that capacity a bit further in the future. To top it off, you also succeeded in startling me a couple of times. VO was well done too. Excellent job.

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?

Image
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...
