I haven't done much work on the module lately, so I avoided the blog. I was in hyper mode during the last few months of last year, and then I got a modder's block - didn't know how to continue and didn't feel inspired to finish anything - so I had a break. I should be getting back to it soon.

Rest assured, if I ever do decide to abandon this project, I intend to at least publish what's already written. :)

  2. I'm sure there are a couple of people who'd finish the mod if you decided to give up but it would of course not be nearly as good and likely allot more perverted. :)
    Sooo don't feel too much pressure to spend half your life to get it done but do know that we'll love every minute of care you do give it.

    Can always ask for help with ideas but going trough a good book or game for inspiration would probably be even better.

  3. I'm glad you're taking a break. No need to keep banging your head against the wall due to a little bit of writer's block. You've got a great project going. No need to rush it just to please us spoiled minions. :)

    Unlike a lot of other NWN modules in development (which I think are increasingly drifting into the vaporware cloud), you at least have created a nice Prelude and even better Chapter 1 module for us to enjoy. That's at least 2 modules more than some of those others have done to this point. Even if you did nothing else, you have created some of the best NWN modules in the Neverwinter Nights universe.

    Am glad you still continue to work on this chapter too at some point. Take your time with it. I'm sure it'll also be great! And thanks too for taking the time to update us.

  4. Take all the time you need, you should only do this if you enjoy it. That said your modules are some of the best fun I've had in years. So kudos to you!

  5. When/if you ever do quit or finish, I'd actually love to make a fan mod devoted purely to Brash. Of course, that would involve using his artwork, which as I understand was work done on your end, so I'd need permission first. I think there's a lot of directions you could take a mod with that character, and it would be fun exploring those possibilities.

    1. I was actually considering making a prequel, "The knight of Scarcewall", where the player would become one of the knights, meet all the other knights, including Brash and Jarlan, be able to enter a political marriage or be with Rose, etc. But it will take much time to finish this as it is, so I'm not really planning on making that.

      I've always found it interesting how people interpret characters differently. So, if someone else were to write Brash, that could be awesome or annoy me, depending on whether I think he'd act like that.

      Brash, Raze and Arana have been in my head for many years now, and all of them have changed significantly. I have to exclude some of their content from the modules because it no longer fits in. Brash in particular, I had a completely different next meeting with him than the one that will happen in the new version. Come to think, there were 2 different ones, and I liked them both. :( But there's no chance to use them now. Maybe the funny parts of them can become part of something else.

      But anyway, so much work with that guy, and half the players will kill him as soon as they see him. xD

    2. This is probably too late to say, but I would just rewrite him into the story if the player did kill him off. I appreciate the option of having him dead or alive, but he's such a major character that I say it's not worth the effort of having conditional what-if's adding to the workload.

      Have an option to possibly kill him off for good at the end of the module series. There's a reason why Bioware saves it biggest decisions near the game's finale so they don't have to put up with that tangled web of issues.

  6. "Finishing up" is always the hardest and most frustrating part. Probably because it's most boring :).

    Glad to hear you're back on track. If you need anything else, my offer still stands, just drop me an email.

  7. Brash is def. my favorite NPC. I'm hoping to get him back sometime in chp 2 if possible.
