My new favorite horror-author buddy Sam Dramstad a.k.a. "Kelkesh12345" has created a Remastered version of his Madman at the Ruins! mod for NWN1. :)
The original was good. I gave it an 8.00 vote but the remastered version manages to create such strong atmoshpere that even though I had played the original and knew what would happen, I still got a bit scared and pretty much drawn into the story in a horrific (positively, mind you) way. I can imagine how it could feel if one plays the new version for the first time (without playing the original first). :) Creepy stuff.
I gave the remastered version a 9.25 vote and I urge you all to go and CHECK IT OUT. A side note though: you can gain some secret stuff if you carry with you the Axeman's key from the original mod and use it in the remastered version.
Also, my fellow artist Archon (who created the CbtS wallpaper and the SH2 artwork) has done a lot of progress on his DarkSun's Glare comic. It's a comic that uses areas and characters made through the rpg game Oblivion. I'm guessing that the game has it's own toolset, like NWN does.
I've read all the comic strips that he has created thus far and I have to say, that it's seems like a very interesting story. Not much is known yet of course since it is still in the beginning but a sense of great mystery can be felt and I have to say that I like the characters that has been presented thus far.
You can check out the whole comic HERE. You should all go and check it out.
Berra out.

Just played the remastered edition, and am writing a comment, just as I'm writing this... damn. that sounded weird. Like, I have four arms or something. Jeez.
ReplyDeleteHe definetly made great improvements, but more on that on the module's page.
Oi, man. Thanks for spreading the word! :D
Yea, Oblivion has a toolset (officialy called Costruction set) that is even more powerfull that the Aurora toolset, just works in very different ways. And is more clunky. Nasty to work with. The Aurora is a dream compared to it. I made a hefty explanation on the blog.
Hey, glad you like it! The story will clear up right in episode 11 and 12, where you'll get the basic idea of it. Then there will be more characters and a couple of twists, yadda yadda. You'll see.
Oh, and more artwork is coming your way real soon.
Oh, and forgot to say - I prefer calling DSG a graphic novel, not a comic. God knows why. It ain't either, and I'm never a big staunch on terminology, but...
ReplyDeleteNo need to change anything, just letting you know. :)
Four arms could perhaps be an advantage sometimes ... :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, he certainly did make huge improvements. Read your comment back at the vault and it was a very good review.
You're very welcome! :D More people should be able to view the awesome awesomness of Archon! ;D Looking forward to the rest. Saw that you had posted part 12 now, so I think I'll go and check that out shortly. :)
Ah - MORE ARTWORK! :D Awesome. I'm having the SH2 as my current wallpaper BTW (which could tell you how much I like it) :D.
Heheh, yeah, Graphic novel does have a better sound to it than Comic. :D
Stay tuned to DSG, for the next episodes include uncensored sex, violence and drug abuse!

Ok, no sex
or drugs.
Hey, where's everybody going?

"awesome awesomness of Archon"? holy batman, I'm used to handing out compliments, not recieving them... heh
Concerning more artwork... I ran into some trouble, and am now fuming with rage. There is a strange bug that I encountered twice already, and this is the third time. If I use a brush of size 10+ (which in a 2500px image I NEED to do), the program crashes. Always. I'm not sure how exactly I fixed it earlier, but... jeez. It's a real pain. I think I might have to ditch what I made so far, or try to do some hybrid copy/cut/paste thingamajig. Makes me wanna scream.
I scream. heheh. icecream.
