Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Well, I've started on a scenario, and I have about two weeks of complete free time to spend frantically working on it. After that I'll be working 8am-5pm six days a week for the next 10 months, so I'll have somewhat less time available for scenario design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I'm still designing a pseudo-sequel to DoK. When I say sequel, I mean two things: it's after DoK, and some characters carry over. However, it's a bit stalled right now... but I'm going to start working again before break ends.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I'm active in that I still mess around the the BoA editor. I'm not active in that I probably won't ever get a complete scenario done, or at least anytime soon. I'd rather write stories instead. Take it however you want.

Garrulous Glaahk Xoid Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Active player and designer. Designing the A2Template. Another scenario is on the backburner, with the plot roughly hammered out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I've been bussy with my scenario for six months, but I was actually bussy designing for two months. Conclusion: i have to be in the mood, or nothing will happen. However, as i started working on it again, doing every evening a bit, it may be completed in two-three months from now. We'll see if i mkae it. aybody who wants to know a bit more, feel free to PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Poit Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Yeah I've been working on a scenario on and off for about a year now. All towns, dungeons, and dialogue are done bar the final few. There are some miscellaneous scripting issues to iron out, but like Thuryl I've suddenly found myself with lots of spare time so I should have it completed in three weeks or so. Whether it will be well recieved is a another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Still working on Exodus. Hoping to make serious progress in the next couple of weeks. I'll post a progress report sometime soon, since at least one person said he'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I am still working on my first official scenario. I have completed the first half, and I am contemplating the second half, but I am hesitant, since Jeff stole one of my major plot devices, and in my opinion, wasted it. I have about decided to ignore him and continue, though. If I continue working at the rate I have so far, I will finish in only another year and a half.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 No offense, Niemand, but if your scenario has the basic plotline I'm thinking of, it's been overused even before A4 came out. Don't panic though. If it's good (that is, not thrown together and really boring), I'll play it. It's tough trying to come up with reasonable plots for BoA scenarios. Dikiyoba wants to see Giant Intelligent Friendly Talking Zombies. That would be weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I am working on the Emerald Tortoise Scale still, but I had to stop because of massive schoolwork, and the fact that my dialogue scripting sucks. However, it's holidays at the moment, so I'm planning on carying on. I mean - with only the dialogue to play with, I'm nearly done - and then there'll be another of my scenarios around - hopefully a far better one than UV. So yeah - I'm around a bit, and will work on it as I can. That means robably a LOT of posts on help with the dialogue. - Archmagus Micael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Smoo Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Lessee... I have written down the basic ideas for six scenarios and it's safe to say that I will complete at least three of them some day, though I intend to release them all. This includes Magus of Cattalon which will be released before the 9th of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Dear god no; no Rentar Ihrno. One of my key ideas is used trivially in A4; I just worry that using a so-so idea that has been used already would become poor. The main plot of my scenario is definitely very much unlike the abomination that is A4, and is hopefully fairly different from other plots. I'm also a bit stuck because my master plan now calls for a number of custom graphics which I am now not so confident of drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have a crappy scenario that has been mostly finished, a second version of the same scenario that requires much work, and no free time right now. But it's all there (points) in that drawer, waiting for me. Someday. *this message sponsored by nwa* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have three scenarios in progress, each at varying stages of completion. One has everything except dialogue. Another has several towns missing. Plot-essential ones. The third was started last night after a long walk inspired me. I have all outdoors done, and am starting on the town after I get back from a party tonight. Drink-induced dungeons. Yay. And, this year, my resolution was to finish what I start, so all three WILL be around sometime soon - whilst I do have revision for exams and other pieces of college-orientated work cropping up, I can spare two to three hours a night easily. Provided I'm in a good enough mood. I estimate mid-feb for my first piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 My suggestion is to force yourself to devote 30 minutes of every day to the scenario closest to being done, if you can spare it, before any of your other projects. It can be tough, but one of the main reasons scenarios do not get released is because it is too easy to get distracted with a new and shiny idea.

Garrulous Glaahk Inthrall Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have started on Scenario #1. It might take a while because I cannot leave anything unfinished. (This means I spend hours trying to do one special event, then changing it) Also, I was wondering if anyone was going to port ova the scenarios from BoE (other than 9 variations on point ? Edit: Sorry about the abbreviations. I was having a problem writing where when i went back to edit the text, it overwrote anything in front of it. If that makes sense.

Tenderfoot Thahd The tangent Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I am currently designing a 8 town scenario set in a part of underworld which has an autonomous status. The plot has been finalised, two towns completed. The outdoor section is partly done.( I began with the towns instead of the outdoor.) Have another 3 days before college reopens. Should complete this scenario by february end. (I said "should" not "will"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have my very own Rhapsody-style scenario titled "Eye of the Storm". It has been under construction for... four and a half years, including a port to Blades of Avernum prior to the release of the BoE version that is now never going to be finished. Neither is the BoA version, but hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I spent a few hours on design work. It raised a question though. Is there any method to raise or lower large areas from within the 3d editor? I'm trying to work with height, and it seems difficult when done on a square by square basis. *this message sponsored by the forge* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 The tool right before the Fill Rectangle (Hollow) tool will change the height of rectangles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Just started to play around with the Editor a couple of days ago. Once I get the hang of it, I might create a few small scenarios. On a similar note: I wasn't planning on creating huge, sweeping worlds; rather, on making a few one-town scenarios that others can drop into their own scenarios as stand-alone dungeons. (The first idea I'm going to be working on is an alternative to Warrior's Grove). Just wondering if there are any like-minded lurkers out there; maybe an new topic could be started on dungeon ideas.
