Birger's NWN Blog-Archive

Hey everyone :) I just released a stand alone release of my addition to Bouncy Rock Entertainment's Halloween 2008 Event for Neverwinter Nights 2 ! It's called Berra's Estate of Horrors . :) If you followed me, way back when, then you may recall that I posted about my progress and experiences with the NWN2 toolset, while creating this module. Back in the day, I had hopes of making many NWN2 modules, but this one turned out to be both my first and only release for NWN2. Doing this stand alone release has been on my mind for many years, just that I haven't gotten to it.  Why not give it a go? :) I mean, it IS Halloween pretty soon, so... ;) Happy Halloween, in advance, everyone! ;) Birger out. 👊

Hey everyone! I just finally completely completed the Halloween 2008 Collaboration-Mod for NWN2! I voted quite awhile ago since I knew what my score would be anyway ( perfect 10.00!!! ) since it's such an awesome piece of work with so many different author thus giving it a very special feel. But at the time I had still a couple of houses left ... since man, there's like 30+ houses there! :D Below are some examples of the ones I really liked: I loved the Elysian Manor . It had that perfect unsettling isolation-horror atmoshpere to it and even in NWN2 ... it manages to put in some really good "scare-ya" -effects as well! Like for example ... well, I won't give a direct example, it's better if you play it yourself. :) But these scenes are pretty up close and personally , that much can I say. :D BlackRain Software's house was REALLY AWESOME ! It's a tribute to the first Resident Evil game for Playstation 1! Since I'm such a complete RE-fan,...

The work of a total of 25 different authors has finally been fully tested and released to the NWN-Vault! Awesome that so many authors (including me ) could come together to do something like this for Halloween 2008 . Be sure to be the first to check it out! :) Berra out.

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...

Hey there everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that the BouncyRock Halloween House for NWN2 that I'm currently developing is almost done. I just have a couple of more stuff I need to add and various bugs/tweaks that needs to be fixed. I think most people should be able to enjoy my debut-NWN2 work but this short-mod will be a more rich experience for people who has already played my mods ... since I have various characters from Surviving Horror 1 & 2 , Calm before the Storm & A New Journey Begins featured in the mod. I gotta go now, so I'll make another post once I'm completely finished or almost done (a post which will feature info and a couple of screens, hopefully). EDIT: I just thought I'd let you all know that there's a dead-line for the halloween mods which is on this friday 17th of october . SECOND EDIT: The first dead-line was by Monday the 13th but God bless Jclef for letting us have a few more days. :) THIRD EDIT (17-18/10): I'm...

Hey again everyone. I installed NWN2 again on my computer today. I've only had the original NWN installed until now ... but, since I'd try getting something done for the BouncyRock- Halloween Event I figured it'd be best to install it again and finally getting started. I've actually been missing the game now when I think of it. :D I also downloaded and printed ( ! ) Gilthonym's "Don't Panic: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the NWN2 toolset" . It is really useful, easy to understand, easy to read and all in all ... avery well done document! It's about 132 pages ( !!!! ) (but not that much text on each page , thankfully) so now you may figure how devoted I am to finally learning the NWN2-toolset . ;) Now when it comes to the progress of my current projects for NWN1 : I've not been able to work that much on Insania Fabula but I have done a REALLY LARGE portion of a conversation that introduces various main-characters . I've decided t...

BouncyRock-Entertainment (former Stygius & Misery Stone sites for NWN2 ) has issued a NWN2-event with a halloween theme . I thought since I am as I'd like to call it, "the master of horror" , I thought that this is really something that I should try and tag along with. The point of this event is that each author has to create his or her own house in the NWN2-world and make it very halloween-ish with a lot of ghosts, vampires, mad-toothbrushes ( ? ) and loads of candy. ;) I have currently no idea what I'd like to do and I have currently not started to try and learn the toolset either. :( The end date for the halloween-event is the 13th of October and I hope I'll get something done until then. At least I hope so. If you have any kind of ideas of what could be featured in Berra's room, then please feel free to let me know! :) You can all read MORE about all of this on the BouncyRock Halloween Event-forum ! Berra out.
