Module of the Year 2007

Voting for MotY 2007 for both NWN1 and NWN2 closes on Saturday, so make sure to vote for your favorite module for each game!


Academy of Modding Excellence

The AME has announced that the nominations phase for the 2007 Golden Dragon awards is closing, meaning that the finalists for all this year's categories (for NWN2, at least) should be released soon! Keep an eye out on their site for more details.


Cowface at it Again

My brother was kind enough to make me a logo for Chapter Two of Moonshadows--let's just say that there is lots of symbolic meaning in this image that will be more obvious once one has played the game:



Miscellaneous Ramblings

While I have my second midterm for linear algebra coming up on Tuesday, I still should be able to do some good development work this weekend, particularly since I'm now finished with my second paper for political theory. I'm in one of those "modding moods"--I'll take advantage of this and make sure to get writing, as it seems I drift towards area design every time I open the toolset. :)

My brother the Logo-Maker

Well, I was wicked-super busy yesterday with homework, unsurprisingly, so I don't have much to report pertaining to my own projects. However, I thought I'd draw attention to this news announcement on the NWVault, which I helped my little brother to create:

My brother is an aspiring 2-D artist who's pretty talented using Photoshop and Illustrator, and I finally convinced him to use some publicity to see if anyone might like one of his logos for their own module. The replies on the news announcement in the comment section (as per his instructions) so far have been encouraging, and I figured giving him a plug here couldn't hurt. :)
