Birger's NWN Blog-Archive

My swedish pals at YCJY Games (they also made The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human ) just released their latest game, inspired by Lovecraft ian horror! I'm a Kickstarter Backer for both this game, and for The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human, so I'd really appriciate it if you'd like to check out their new game . :) Here's the Steam description: Sea Salt is a dark fantasy reverse horror action-strategy game where you play as the nightmarish force of Dagon by controlling and growing a horde of minions. Birger out. 👊

Did you know, that one of Bioware's leadwriters for Dragon Age, David Gaider , no longer works at Bioware? Do you know why, this necessarily isn't a bad thing anymore? Because he and some collegues of his, has formed a new studio called Summarfall Studios , that recently released a crowdfunding campaign for their first game (the name which you can guess from the titel of this post) -- Chorus! I love Gaider's work, so I just decided to become a backer, myself. 😊 Can you guess the genre for this game? Well, since it's Gaider, you can start by checking RPG , that's a given. Awesomely written dialog and dialog choices? Check. Romance? Check. But can you giess  what the main genre is? They've actually invented a completely new genre ---  adventure musical . Check out Chorus, watch the trailer and read more on Fig (and maybe become a Backer, just like I did?) Birger out. 👊

I finished the NWN Premium Module "Pirates of the Swordcoast" , last night. I gotta say... this is actually one of my favorites, so far. 😏 A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far --- no, wait 😕 -- just a long time ago suffices 😉, I completed the NWN Premium Modules Witch's Wake , Kingmaker , and Shadow Guard (all three of these are included in Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition , in case you didn't know), but I never finished Pirates of the Swordcoast when it first came out. Mostly because you had to pay with a credit card (I didn't own one, at the time) in order to download it. I warmly recommend Pirates of the Swordcoast, in case you want something to rekindle your old love (or start your love, for the first time) for Neverwinter Nights. You can buy and download Pirates,  here . The next NWN stop for me will be the newly released premium module Tyrants of the Moonsea . After that, I'm looking forward to playing Darkness over Daggerford  a...

Here's a TED-Talk that I stumbled upon during my current education -- I highly recommend it! The title speaks for itself, I think... ;) Gaming can make a better world Ever heard of the Lone Wolf gamebooks , created by   Joe Dever?   I'd like to recommend you the  Lone Wolf Nintendo DS games (the first five gamebooks have DS games so far) created by Frédéric Calendini . These are homebrews, so you'll need a modded DS (you'll find instructions on the website). Have a nice weekend, guys and gals! 😄 Birger out. 👊

5 years ago, I became a backer of the mystery-adventure game Jenny LeClue and this thursday -- is the game's RELEASE DATE!  Here's some links if you'd like to check out the game yourself: Steam Twitter Youtube Facebook Birger out. 👊

You like Baldur's Gate , or any similar RPG? Would you like to have those same feelings again but at the same time, feel something new? Maybe you'd like to be able to... jump? Would you like to... create your own party? With full  VOICE ACTING? I was just thinking about you 😉, so lets share this Kickstarter game , then: Solasta: Crown of the Magister Do you know what the best part is? There's a DEMO (you'll find it in the link above 👆)! 😎 Birger out. 👊

Hey there, guys and gals! Guess who's baaack?! 😄 ...no, not Arnold. 😵 Anyway... 😏 I just had an epiphany this week, that I'd like to share with you all. I'll be honest... I've been quite addicted to both Youtube- and Facebook browsing, for quite a long time. Maybe you recognize the feeling? Yeah, dopamine . For me, this kind of spinned out of hand. While I'm studying Digital Design, I have a pretty tight schedule during the week, and the longer I linger, the longer I need to study. I study from home, which is great... and at the same time, it takes a lot of discipline. As soon as I've gotten a couple of minutes of break, or when I've taken a longer break... I've immediatly started browsing. Either Youtube, or Facebook. Or both (not at the same time though, thank god!). The problem has been, that I haven't had any time left for doing the things that I REALLY, feel like doing (except for in the evenings). Eventually, I kind of got this emp...
