Spring Break!

Well, I survived my last week of class and am now on SPRING BREAK!!! until the 31st. I'm going on a brief family vacation until the 25th, after which I'll be settling down to do some serious design work, most likely starting with some exterior area work.



A few miscellaneous things to cover in the community: Mysteries of Westgate received a nice review on the front of Games for Windows. There should be a few more of these coming--this one was unscored, though I believe that won't be the case for all of them. The 2007 Mod of the Year contests are still going, though votes are starting to slow to a trickle. I'm optimistic that Moonshadows is going to be able to snag the Silver award for NWN2--knock on wood. :) If I get really lucky, maybe I could eek out gold...

In other news, Dark Waters 2 is kicking rear and taking names as far as score goes--no surprises there. I've also continued playing Morrowind, and I'm making great progress (level 8, almost 9)--it's a lot of fun! I've posted up a couple of screenshots for your enjoyment. :)

Morrowind!

So, after finishing up converting my hand-written summary of Moonshadows 2 to text-document format, I was in the mood for playing something. That something was Morrowind, possibly my favorite game of all-time. :) I started fresh with neither expansion pack installed, and this time around I'm not cheating! ;) I used to insert all sorts of custom items and spells into the game, and to use the console constantly to heal myself (when necessary) and to jump around from area to area and avoid travel of any sort (cheapppp) using the COC (center on cell) commands. Anyhow, I'm enjoying my *real* playthrough--already level 4 and well on my way to becoming a master thief/assassin/adventurer. :) Here are some screenshots of my travels:
