Mystery Group Unmasked

Yesterday, I asked the project leader for the new module that I’m working on if it’s okay for me to reveal who the rest of our group members are. He said yes. All this time, I had kept everybody else’s names secret because I wasn’t sure if those can be made public knowledge. Since I’ve been given the green light, I shall now unmask the perps. (Drum roll, please.)

The new module (whose title shall not be revealed at this time) is being developed under the banner of bouncyRock Entertainment. Only two members of the group working on this module are members of bouncyRock, however. The rest of us were recruited specifically for this project.

To the best of my knowledge, I was the first person recruited by the bouncyRock guys. Over the past two months, more people were recruited to the group. Only yesterday, we welcomed a new team member, and there’s a chance that we’ll be recruiting at least one more. A few people were recruited but had to bow out later because of pressing commitments. There were also a couple of promising individuals who were interviewed for scripting positions, but because we realized that the scripting assignments were very light relative to the number of scripters we already have, it was with much regret that we did not bring them aboard.

Without further ado, here are the current developers of this new module. (I apologize if I missed out anybody and will immediately rectify the error in case that transpires.)

  • Dirtywick: Project Leader, Lead Writer (member of bouncyRock)

  • Anduraga: Area Design Manager, Writer (member of bouncyRock)

  • Elysius (aka Frank Perez): Scripting/Programming Manager, Writer, 3D Artist

  • Barry the Hatchet: 3D Artist

  • Chaos Wielder: Area Designer

  • Gallaen Frost (aka Jaesun999): Composer

  • Indira Lightfoot: Area Designer, Writer

  • Nytir: 3D Artist

  • Orion1966 (aka Man_From_Geldar): Scripter

  • Palafoxx: 3D Artist

  • Telanor: Scripter


Special thanks go to Jonny Ree and Liso66 for their guidance in this project.

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...
