Does life imitate art? in General
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Monday, October 8 2007 04:06 Profile Homepage #20 quote: Originally written by Yama Toman?: The exact quote: "We all know that art is not truth. Art is the lie that makes us realize truth -- at least the truth that is given us to understand." It's Picasso. 10 points. I remembered reading it a couple of years ago, couldn't find it online (granted, I looked for about 30 seconds) and just posted the essence. And Nicholiah, why does it all depend on the different forms of art? Surely art is all the same - the artists expression of an idea, or ideal?

It was clearly a selfless and noble deed. :P Dikiyoba. Narrows eyes I'll have you know that my life is pretty dire as it is.

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Tuesday, October 2 2007 03:42 Profile Homepage #13 blushes Erm, okay. In addition to the above statement, which I stubbornly maintain must stay, nickel is silvery white in colour, which perfectly compliments my less-than-tanned appearance. Nickel is also slow to react with air, but is very reactive in general, which is sorta odd, because I have quite a long fuse, but can explode with enough prompting... It's so odd. After chosing an element at random, I'm now finding out that it fits me!! As has been said, nickel is magnetic. And while I wouldn't say that I am a "babe magnet" I can be quite charming and do tend to gravitate towards groups, just as nickel is mostly found in various compounds. Finally, nickel is also a carcinogen, and, anybody who knows me particularly well will tell you that knowing me is not good for their general well-being. Better??

Back in the day, plays on an elements name were highly respected! Anyway, my original statement still stands: I chose Nickel because it sounds like Nikki, because it's magnetic, and because Cobalt is taken. Only one of the three is about it's name, too. :P Posts: 2864 \| Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00

I have glasses. in General
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Saturday, September 29 2007 04:34 Profile Homepage #23 I have a pair of glasses, but I don't really need them. In fact (and I hope this will greatly annoy her), I'm like Dikiyoba. Not quite 20-20 vision without them, but it's good enough. And I find the blurriness helps me palate the world a whole lot more. :P Posts: 2864 \| Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00

Screenshot Request (Spoilers!!) in Nethergate
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Thursday, September 20 2007 03:34 Profile Homepage #6 No, I wasn't complainging about the shots - they're fine. And the old Nethergate just has a charm that's hard to describe. It all seems that bit more special, more magical, because it wasn't Avernum or Geneforge. And now it is.

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Thursday, September 20 2007 03:06 Profile Homepage #27 Yeah, I'm still designing, and I think we can safely assume TM isn't gonna give up any time soon. We also have several graphic artists (Ephesos included) who are making cool little things to shove into our scenarios. So what gives? I think it's the time old "it's too hard to design for BoA" thing. Which is a fair argument. Sorta. I'm tempted to make a scenario that is a guide to making scenarios, just to show that it isn't that difficult. As TM said "this **, taken as a hobby, is fairly easy." Then we need to lean on Jeff to promote the scenarios that we already have. Or even better, the BoA community. People aren't going to be buying/playing BoA if they don't know where to get scenarios from. Or even if there are scenarios to get. And once we have a healthy amount of people playing the things, new designers should hopefully come forward. Edit: Damn autocensor. I thought America was land of the free? And that word isn't even offensive. Gah. [ Thursday, September 20, 2007 03:08: Message edited by: Nikki xx ] Posts: 2864 \| Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00**

How Did You Find Spiderweb? in General
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Monday, September 17 2007 03:45 Profile Homepage #27 I found Exile 3 on a rather dodgy shareware disk that happened to appear in my house - I swear nobody knows how it appeared. Anyway, I played the demo to death, went back to the said dodgy CD, and also found the demo of Nethergate. So I played the demo for that for about a month before I pointed my browser to this site, and bought E3. I didn't come to the forums for a while after that, but I registered on my first day of visiting. Posts: 2864 \| Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Monday, September 17 2007 03:36 Profile Homepage #20 Originally written by Ishad Nha: quote: The big picture is that the calls put restrictions on designer options, many times designers have to work around them. Maybe this will just highlight how backward I am with scenario design, but there are only one or two ideas that I haven't been able to figure out a way of doing in this engine. That's it. And I'd like to think I've done a few neat things within my scenarios - nothing compared to TM, Kel, Laz and the like, of course. As far as I can see, there's always a way around a problem, even if it's a really messy chunk of code that could be simplified into one call. quote: One problem is not knowing whether you can do something until you have read the manual yet again. You could just go ahead and try it, and then if it doesn't work, consult the manual... Enraged Slith said: quote: I suppose my biggest wish for this game is that it would be a little more popular. The designing community hasn't grown that much since the release of the game and I'm not sure if people outside that group are even playing the scenarios anymore... On top of that, for whatever reason, some of our more experienced designers just up and quit (i, Kelandon). I wouldn't be so upset if it wasn't for the fact that I think BoA could make a comeback. I agree, 100%. It'd be nice to have fresh blood, and we've succeded to an extent - just look at the entries from the last few contests. Just who exactly is an active* designer here, anyway??
