Hey everyone & glad to see you! 😊 It's pretty hot in Sweden this time of the year, so I'm having all windows open and all sorts of fans activated around our apartment. 😋  How is the weather on your end? 😃 (yeah, we often ask one another that question, here in Sweden, so why not ask you too? 😉)  I've also recently set up a discord server for my patrons on Patreon , a private place to hang out, get annoucements and share ideas/feedback about my work, be it e-books or NWN-RPGs.  The discord is available to all of my patrons, regardless of tier, with the lowest tier being about 3 dollars / month (BRONZE).

Hey everyone :)  Today is the 15th anniversary of my Neverwinter Nights 1 module Surviving Horror 2  (SH2). Time sure flies, doesn't it? :) I thought I'd celebrate the occasion with some behind the scenes content . The main image for Surviving Horror 2 SH2 is the work I am most proud of creating -- it managed to gain Hall of Fame status , a Reviewer's Award,  won the Golden Dragon of Replayability the year 2006  and even won against the canceled premium module Darkness over Daggerford  -- and I think SH2 manages to capture what I like about a good survival horror story.  Golden Dragon Awards Nominations, 19th of november 2007, where SH2 was nominated at the same time as Darkness over Daggerford Golden Dragon Award Winners, 21th of november 2007 Resident Evil and Silent Hill was my main inspirations for SH2s gameplay and its story. I also love the items used for puzzles in those series (like the Club or Heart keys from Resident Evil 2, or the Tarot Car...

Time goes really fast ... it's been 10 Years since I finished filming and Released my First Original Horror Film on Youtube. I first released it in 2007 . That movie was the Silent Hill-inspired "Silent Hill: Darkness" . It has a lot of flaws, considering it was my very first film, still it's my favorite of all movies I've made to date. Story wise , I feel it's a master-piece ... filming technique-wise ... not at much. ;) Still ... I believe everyone's first movie to be a Learning Experience . As I mentioned, I'm very proud of it's Story . I took the most Time on Writing this Movie's Script compared to my other movies and I took grate care in using a lot of Silent Hill-related moments as a Tribute to the games and it's fans. Game-sound ... Similar story-themes ... the Mystery ... Music ... Characters ... Items ... and Dialog. If you haven't watched it, I hope you'd like to in order to Celebrate it...

A scary scarecrow is hanging here ... creepy. (You'll find more screenshots at the end of this post.) My submission to the BouncyRock Halloween Project , "Berra's Estate of Horrors"; is finally COMPLETED! Man - that sure took more time than I had expected. :D It was a good thing that I had previous experiences from NWN1 because that helped a lot ... most things are actually pretty similar to the the Aurora Toolset (Toolset from NWN1) . Ahead comes my toolset experiences ... these may not make too much sense for someone who has never opened or developed something with the toolset but I'm trying to be as explanative as possible so you should have at least some clue of what I've been through but still, should you feel this is nothing for you, then go below the line I've written at the bottom in this post and read the rest from there ... so here it goes: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About 2/3 of the t...
