Project Dikiyoba


 Share

Recommended Posts

Ok, this is my first topic here.

 

Ladies and gentlemans, I just decide now (01:26 AM) to make my first scenario, about the Epsiode 1 of Dikiyoba's story.

 

So, I'm looking for tips. Any kind of help will be appreciated, even link to guides (I searched a bit, but nope).

 

My first problem is the benginning. I cannot set the outdoor's value... Help!

 

(Btw, is possibile that I can make a scenario, even if I almost never really played the Avernum Series?)

May I just add that Project Dikiyoba is the coolest name for any scenario project I have ever seen.

 

Also that turning that script into a scenario would be kind of difficult. Certainly not what I'd be able to do, in my first scenario...

On the plus side, it doesn't involve Rentar-Ihrno creating a bunch of monster plagues to destroy the Empire, or any close variation on that theme.

 

Um. Wow. Um.

 

Since you don't have much, if any, experience, I'd suggest starting off very, very small. Practice designing towns and writing dialogue first so that you know what you're doing.

 

Dikiyoba.

 

Edit: Typo.

If by values you mean the number of towns/outdoor sections and that kind of thing, the answer depend on what you decide to make. As examples Xerch'de uses 4 towns and no outdoors, babysitting uses 4 towns and one simple outdoor section, and A Good Beginning uses only 3 towns and one outdoor section. That's certainly the size range to aim for on a first try, but the exact choices you make will necessarily depend on the idea you have for the scenario.

If you have a Mac, I suggest getting the 3D editor if you cannot handle the barebones editor Jeff provides.

 

I have not read all of Dikiyoba's story, but from what I have seen, it will involve a lot of side characters, random creatures, and plenty of in-personality dialogue.

This is step one to designing like a champ. Step two is ignoring every other detractor of your work and making insipid crap.

Of course, if you make a scenario after a crappy fanfiction by an obsessive board member, you're already well on your way.
