I've been mostly working on details since yes...

November 17, 2003 by Adam in NWN1

I've been mostly working on details since yesterday. I added another "ambiance scene" - some dialog with a shopkeep. I also put in some flavor text, though I'd say I'm only a third of the way done there. I also added sounds to the various areas, making sure things like the portals all had te same magical effect. Finally, I started in on some main plot points which helped me feel like I was actually making progress.

I also finally picked up the December issue of Computer Gaming World. Sure enough, the Dreamcatcher series is mentioned prominently. Strangely, they grabbed a picture from this site, but it was one from Demon rather than Dreamcatcher. It's only a few short sentences, of which here's an excerpt:

From the cinematics to the storytelling detail, the Dreamcatcher series includes memorable, well-crafted NWN mods.

So, there you go. It may help explain the recent business of the site. I've actually had some "too many users are trying to connect" errors. Perhaps it's time to upgrade my web server.

In other NWN news, I played a little bit of Birthright of the North with my son. It started off relatively well, though we stopped after hitting a stumbling block. I kept dying on a certain altar without warning, then I'd wait five or so minutes until the bleeding stopped and I revived. Finally, I'd try to rest and recover my hit points, but goblins would spawn around me and slaughter me again. I suppose if I was playing single player I could simply save and restore, but multiplayer ended up being so frustrating that I had to walk away. Just call me "Mr. Short Attention Span", I suppose.
