Birger's NWN Blog-Archive

I've made a lot of progress on the secret project I mentioned earlier. I think I'm about half-way done ... or perhaps two thirds done. I'm hoping for a release day in perhaps a week or two ... and if I'm lucky, perhaps even before that . That really depends on how much enthusiasm I'm having and how much real-life work is draining me. :D In either case: it's getting closer . Berra out.

I've been pondering whether I should post these news or not ... but I ended up choosing to post it. :D I'm working on Insania Fabula as you all know by now but here comes a surprise ... I am also currently working on a secret project . As a matter of fact I HAVE been working on it this weekend. You're pretty curious of what it is, right? :) I'm not telling. :D Not until it's done. A little hint, though: it is something that should please both old and new fans of my work. That's it. I'm not telling you anything else. :D Feel free to give me your theories of what this secret project could be ... I'm all ears. ;) Berra out.

Hi everyone. I have just finished and uploaded my latest horror-movie to YouTube. It's called "The Day I Can't Remember" and has been inspired by the Silent Hill games. So since my Surviving Horror series was ispired by those series as well, fans of my horror modules should definitely check my new movie out. It has a great story, just like those modules. So, if you enjoyed either of my Surviving Horror modules, be sure to watch "The Day I Can't Remember" movie once it has been released! It has not yet appeared on YouTube but I will give you an update once it is fully online. Stay tuned, folks. UPDATE: IT IS NOW FULLY RELEASED . CHECK IT OUT , LEAVE A COMMENT AND VOTE ; TODAY! Berra out.

I've decided to abandon the "other-world" ( an evil paralell-world that mysteriously appears at random occations ) concept for Isania Fabula . Instead, it will take place completely in a "normal world" (without magic, strange worlds, elves, dwarves, dragons etc.). A normal world like the one WE live in. This was the whole idea in the beginning but somewhere along the way, for reasons unknown I guess, I felt like I wanted to include the "other-world" once more. I'm glad I've finally decided not to. :) I wasn't too happy with the other-world I came up with for this mod ... and there was something that didn't feel right with my ideas. Thus finally, just for fun, I decided to think of the mod without this "other-world-concept" and somehow, magically or not, the whole idea felt a lot better. :D I've featured an alternative world in two mods already ( A New Journey Begins & Surviving Horror 2 ) and that might have been ...

More progress today. The first act has been finished and the first "scary-area" has also been finished. Two other NPCs ( the more mysterious ones ) have been introduced as has the main villain . I think many people will find the first nightmare-area quite impressive and I also think many people will be disturbed of how the main villain acts and thinks . At least that's what I feel. :D Next I'll be doing a chat scene with the different main companions/characters in the module that will eventually lead to the beginning of a disaster-scene and eventually the beginning of a chase-scene. :P I've also had thoughts of doing a short humour-module for NWN1 as well. I've had thoughts of perhaps doing it during the same time as I create Insania Fabula but I may also choose to create it later on. It'll be a lot more light-hearted module with occasional dramatic themes . And probably feature a romance or two as well. ;) That's all for now folks. Berra...

I've made quite a bit of progress today/tonight. The two first areas of the module are finished and three of the mod's NPC's has been introduced . So you could also say that the module's introduction is finished as well because the next thing I'll be doing will be the beginning of the ... scary stuff. ;) I've decided to feature the detective-approach I mentioned in earlier posts but I simply can't avoid to include Silent Hill-inspired elements , in other words; to include an evil paralell world of the current world. But I think players who has finished/played my Surviving Horror series will be satisfied with what I'll come up with. Some other news are that I will be including hak-files like Chandigar's Gothic Estates to stay true to my prime-inspiration; the Resident Evil series . :D And as far as I know, this hak hasn't been included in any modules so far. I'll also be including Some_ux's Boat's and probably the Airship...

I came up with a name for my latest module this weekend. I usally start to create a module first when doing a new module before actually coming up with a name for the story. Though sometimes it's easier to find out the name first. That differs a little. In any case, my latest module is going to be called (if I don't decide to change it later): Insania Fabula . What does that mean, you say? Well, it's latin and basically means " Insanity Story" . I've chosen that name since the main theme for the story is going to be "insanity" and basically also because the player-character will be telling the story during the course of the game. To avoid the risk of spoiling the story, I won't be telling you more than that. But as of now, I feel pretty satisfied with what I have come up with. And that's always good. :) On a side note - I've just started another blog that is dedicated to the artwork I have created during a few years. This blog ...
