... yeah, that sounded quite ominous, didn't it? 😉 But it's not a real storm I'm talking about (thank god! 😋). What I'm really talking about, is that my very first Neverwinter Nights module has it's 18th birthday today! 😄 This day 18 years ago, I released my first public work, in the form of Calm before the Storm.

As you can see in the images above, I made a Remake for Calm before the Storm (CbtS), which was released in 2008, 5 years after the original. Since CbtS was my very first module, it understandably didn't have the polish that my later modules had. To remedy this, I decided to improve the whole experience in the form of a full remake, with better scripting, better lightning, better dialog and new music. 💟
Another thing that struck me just now, that I haven't told you guys before, is that I had already started working on A New Journey Begins (the sequel to CbtS) when I released the first version of CbtS. Man, it sure was fun to develop Neverwinter Nights modules at the time. 😌

| Yeah, you might recognize part of that quote from another game... Kingdom Hearts 1. 😉 I just couldn't help myself, since I thought that quote blended so well into the story of A New Journey Begins. |

To celebrate CbtS's 18th birthday, I thought I'd upload the intro movie to the original version of CbtS. This intro video is not available online anymore since the original CbtS-module was deleted from the nwvault (since the remake is a better version of the original in all possible ways). So this post will be the only place where you can watch this mythical intro movie. And I'm uploading it just for you, my loyal followers. 😊💖 Enjoy!

Birger out. 👊💖
