... 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 . The main screenshot for the original Calm before the Storm... ... and the main screenshot for the Remake. 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 Be...

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...

 Hey everyone :) Today, is the 13th anniversary for my horror movie "Silent Hill: Horrid Truth" -- I'm leaving a link below in case you want to watch it with me: Part 1 of 3 Playlist of all three parts here Birger out. 👊

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've been updating the text descriptions for my NWN-modules today, and noticed that the Neverwinter Nights Podcast episode that I was interviewed in (Episode 43) has been taken down from youtube, unfortunately. BUT -- the good folks at Neverending Nights has actually done a historical copy of ALL the episodes of Neverwinter Nights Podcast ! I thought I'd write here and share the link with you guys, in case you want to relive some old memories, just catch up with episodes you've missed or maybe listen to a Neverwinter Nights author that you remember from back in the days. So, how's things on your end? :)  Hope you're all safe, now with the pandemic and all. Leave me a comment below and let me know what you're up to these days. I'd love to hear from you!  :P P.S. By the way,  I've made it to my third year (out of three) of my Digital Design education ! I'm going to try out some graphic design work on my  internship period (through...

Hey everyone :) My movie-trailer "Salvation's Truth" has its 10-year anniversary today! ^_^ I can't believe it's actually been 10 years... feels just like yesterday, when I think about it. This trailer was actually supposed to turn into a movie, or a series. I still have the script, so maybe one day... that'll happen, in some shape, or form. :) Birger out. 👊

Hey everyone :) Today is the 10-year anniversary for my youtube slasher film Blackout ! Go have a watch, and celebrate with me, if you want! :P P.S. first post in 2020 -- yay! ^_^ Birger out. 👊
