Interview Posted!

My Golden Dragon Award Interview has been posted up on the Academy of Modding Excellence website; check it out here! Funnily enough, I was never asked to discuss Perchance to Dream at all...whatevs.

Also, I went and made a bunch of changes to the cutscene I cited in my last entry...it's starting to look a bit better. :)

HoF Interview for PtD

Steve Savicki was kind enough to offer me yet another Hall of Fame interview, this time for Perchance to Dream. Read it here. :)

On the topic of progress, I actually got a lot of cutscene work done during Thanksgiving break. From area design to custom VFX work to scripting and writing, there was a bit of everything...I'm starting to get back in the modding swing after that post-release lapse of Moonshadows - Chapter One. Woohoo!

Perchance to Dream wins Best Action Module of 2006!

The title says it all! The winners have been announced, and Perchance to Dream has earned the Best Action Module of 2006 Golden Dragon award!

I am SO PSYCHED. I don't even know what to say. Thanks, AME!

Congrats as well to the other winners--it's an honor to be singled out along with other such talented individuals such as Savant, ol' FP, Aristan, Berra, John "Gestalt" Bye, lord rosenkrantz, David John, and ragnarok_mr4.

W00t!

Perchance to Dream Nominated for 2006 'Best Action Module' Golden Dragon Award!

The title says it all--it was just announced that my recent-HoF-inductee and final NWN1 module, Perchance to Dream, is one of three final nominees for the Best Action Module Golden Dragon Award, a new set of Vault-sanctioned awards in the spirit of the Oscars. I sort of began suspecting this might be the case a few weeks ago, when both BGP Hughes, the AME Chairman, and tdonadio/Andarian, the vice-chairman, both played and voted on PtD...but I obviously couldn't be sure. But it's official! I'm in the running for another award. W00T!!!!! Heheh.

The competition is interesting. Savant's The Fall of Aielund, Part II is well-known for being a strong hack'n'slash, epic-level romp. Aylomeiger's Magical Curios, by mattd, I've honestly never really heard of, and so can't really judge how strong of a candidate it is. I'm optimistic that the module-specific custom-content that I made for PtD will help to set it apart in the eyes of the judges: 10 new, unique custom spells specifically for Khelben "The Blackstaff" Arunsun, including the famous Silver Fire ability, have got to count for something! I'm just going to cross my fingers, toes and eyes and hope for the best! ;)
