Some work on Moonshadows

So after releasing A Serious Problem...Seriously yesterday afternoon, I worked for the rest of the evening on Moonshadows so that I could at least feel as though I had accomplished something of value. I did a bit of tweaking to a quest whose start was a bit generic, something that I'd like to avoid, and I went through every blueprint in the game and verified that they had the appropriate scripts attached to them so that they would, you know, do stuff. On my first run through A Serious Problem, the supposedly-vicious whopper-bopper wielding clowns didn't even react to my slaughtering of them or their friends, and I realized that some critters in Moonshadows might have the same problem.

So, I went back through the blueprints and updated instances of creatures that were broken. I also rewrote a few journal entries and wrote about 750 words of dialogue for the first quest giver in the game, as well as wrote up a few short "play animation" scripts just for flavor.

I hope to do some good design work today, as I have nothing at all to do; I'm taking today and tomorrow off from running and then going light on Monday so that I'll be invigorated for my first track practice on Tuesday.

...Seriously.

Ok, well, I've uploaded the piece of trash...I mean module...to the Vault. I won't post the mod description here since it'll be available for download *cringes* in a few hours...but here's a screenshot to scare away those too faint of heart for such an adventure.



It's silly to the point of utter stupidity. Anyways, enjoy, if at all possible. Hopefully it'll cheer a few people up.

A Serious Problem...

Hah! A pun in the title! That should get this update off to a jolly-good start...you don't get the pun yet, but you will, soon!

So today I spent the morning on Ossian secret stuff and some time in the evening on Ossian secret stuff; in between, I did a teensy bit of Moonshadows, then decided to take a break. Then, I thought to myself, wouldn't it be fun to release a short parody module just for kicks'n'giggles? So I took the rest of the day off from Moonshadows *ducks* and have already almost finished this mini adventure. I hope to have it done by Monday. It will not be beta-tested (no need) and it will use a pregenerated character named Ricardo. The module is called..."A Serious Problem." Hence the update title...I didn't run into any problems, of course, unless you consider me taking a few days off from Moonshadows a problem, in which case I'd say, "uh, too bad!" :)

I'll post a blurb tomorrow for your enjoyment. I think it's pretty entertaining (if completely ridiculous and immature) at the moment, so hopefully people with senses of humor similar to my own will get some laughs from this. :)

Cheers!
