New screenshots from Chapter Two!

I spent all day yesterday creating the largest exterior area I've made thus far for NWN2, and I actually think I did a pretty darn good job! I was going for an overcast, gloomy/foreboding mood in a ravine/mountainous setting, and I think I nailed it. I'll be tweaking lighting, clouds and water color, but the structure, textures, grass, trees and placeables are all done. Now it's just a matter of adding sound and it'll be done! I can't believe I did it all in one day. :)



Oh, I also created a large interior from scratch and took care of the wall/floor textures and tinting therein. However, I haven't actually gotten around to decorating that one quite yet. In any event, enjoy the screenshots from the ravine.



Oh, and before I forget, don't you forget to vote in the 2007 Module of the Year contest before it ends on April 5th! Also, keep an eye on the Academy of Modding Excellence site over the course of the next few weeks, as they've announced that the finalists for the Golden Dragon Awards for 2007 -- or, at least the NWN2 ones -- will be announced within April.

2 new screenshots

Well, I polished and completed the entire interlude today, which included running through it a bunch of times, fixing all the bugs that cropped up, tweaking things, and building two interior areas from scratch. I also created the two modules that I'll be working on from now on, since the interlude is now done, and I added those each to the campaign. Finally, I wrote a bit of dialogue. Tomorrow will likely be a dialogue and area-design day, possibly with some blueprint creation tossed in.

I've got two new screenshots for ya:

2007 Module of the Year kicking off!

It's finally here--the voting for the 2007 Module of the Year contest on the NWVault is going to kick off starting February 25th, after the entries have been finalized. You can read the announcement here, on the VN Boards...at the time of this post, the Vault hasn't yet been updated, but I'm assuming that announcement is forthcoming. :)

Also, I've been making progress on Chapter Two of Moonshadows, including blueprint design, cutscene creation, scripting and custom vfx work. Here's a screenshot for your troubles:

In honor of A Serious Problem...Seriously receiving its 1000th download, I played through the mod again and took this screenshot. Enjoy.

My MotB Photojournal (HEAVY SPOILERS)

Well, I finished Mask of the Betrayer last night, and I was pleasantly surprised by the last 5-ish hours of it. Loose ends were tied up nicely, everything came full-circle, and (omzgogz) the final boss fight was extremely well-balanced! Kudos to Obsidian.

Now, for my photojournal! Enjoy! :)
