Scenario Designing in Blades of Avernum Editor
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Thursday, April 12 2007 08:58 Profile Homepage #13 quote: That's just flatly untrue. Joke scenarios have been well-received before. The difference is, Rats Aplenty was funny. Muffin Demons aren't. quote: Your idea sounds horribly boring and totally without redeeming value. If there's one thing that Avernum players don't need, it's another pointless scenario about killing bandits. I agree. Totally. If the scenario is pointless and is about nothing but going to kill a bandit, and doing it, and then leaving. Something like a bandit problem is a decent framwork to build off though. There are all kinds of twists you could pull off with that. quote: By all means, make a scenario that's bizarre and different. If it comes out bad, well, it's no worse than making a totally bland, normal first scenario, and at least it's different.[/QB] It is worse! If you make something terrible, nobody will play it! If you make something bland, theres a chance it can be spiced up when you get feedback in the beta period. EDIT: And Nioca just proves my point. His scenario seems a bit dull when you read the intro text - it's "another bandit yarn". When you play the thing, though, you realise it's much more than that. It's using a tried-and-tested plot, doing something new with it, and whats more, enabling a new designer to learn the trade. EDIT 2: And, for the record, I'm in no mood to start an argument. I just think Iffy's focus should be directed somewhere more "worthwhile".

Scenario Designing in Blades of Avernum Editor
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Thursday, April 12 2007 08:34 Profile Homepage #10 Iffy, I'm going to be honest now. And it may sound harsh, but it has to be said, I think. Nobody would play this scenario, as it is. Not even for novelty value. Despite only having a few details, I can see nothing here worth saving. I'm sorry. Maybe if you think of another idea, and implement that first? Do a simple scenario - maybe one where you have to kill a bandit leader or something? That won't need complex scripts, and is probably going to appeal to more people than one about a Muffin Lord Demon. Jeff Vogel said it best when he said "Your first impulses will probably lead you astray". And I'd like to point out I'm not saying give up scenario designing. Just, you know, think about making something that others would want to play. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Wednesday, April 11 2007 10:56 Profile Homepage #18 1. If Spidweb closed these forums, what would you do? I have a life outside the boards. I'd just have an extra hour or so a day to waste. 2. If you could be any creature from a Spidweb game, what would you be? An imp, but a Nethergate imp, not one of the newer, evil ones. 3. Who would you like to see as a moderator? Everybody. 4. If you had to change your user name, what would you change it to? I change my name often. I change it to people from things I write (as in Elle), or else famous icons (this one). 5. What's your favorite spell? Fireball. 6. What city in the Avernum series would you want to rule? I wouldn't. I'd be a hermit near Lorelei. 7. How old are you? 19, at the moment. Old enough to do everything I'd want. 8. What country would you like to live in besides the one you're in already America, definitely. Although I do quite like England around this time of year. 9. Your favorite Spidweb game is... Nethergate or BoA. I can't choose. 10. Am I annoying? I'd like to phone a friend, Chris. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Tuesday, April 10 2007 10:32 Profile Homepage #12 I did something like this in TV, which just erased the night creature and replaced it with the day one. To clean it up slightly, I added an if call to see if it was day, and then flashed up a message_dialog to explain that the people were waking up, going outside etc. That way, people didn't just appear in front of the party. Your way is better, for sure, but I thought I'd add another way to do this. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?
