Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Sunday, March 23 2008 10:35 Profile Homepage #82 Xel, those glasses really bring out your eyes! And your laugh at around 1:12 is simply adorable. Otherwise, though, I found that clip tame, uninspired, and predictable. The last 30 seconds could've been cut off without making any difference at all - it's almost as if the director was just learning how to zoom, and the fact that the muffins were all the same, but with things pushed into them sucked. The plot made the weather report seem gripping, and the dwarf dude "Johnny", I'm guessing, won't be on any award shortlists. EDIT: I would like it to be known, I was being sarcastic. I know Xel didn't make the clip. Sigh. [ Sunday, March 23, 2008 15:00: Message edited by: Johnny The Horse. ] -------------------- Nikki's Nook - will you remember his name?

Also, I think the title changes are because the Geneforge series are coming to a complete conclusion, and not because i was trying to annoy one member. If i really did want to annoy somebody, the Ego or otherwise, he could just have handed out a custom title, since no amount of posting can get rid of that. -------------------- Nikki's Nook - say-anything syndrome.

It's as common as it is because it rhymes. I think we should have "calm-down crowns" instead, and then we can all pretend to be princesses at the same time. Or princes, if you're into that.

Party Size? in Blades of Avernum
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Sunday, March 23 2008 03:45 Profile Homepage #4 As a designer, I'd either tell the player that the scenario won't work as intended if they play with the wrong party, but leave it up to them if they want to continue, Another option is to prevent them from playing the scenario unless they have a suitable party, using the party_size() call. And, of course, you can always do what Frostbite does, and force the change on the player, although that only really helps if you want to force a singleton onto a player, since you can't create new PCs using calls. As a player, I'd prefer the first option, but ultimately, the choice comes down to you, and how strongly you feel the scenario needs 3 PCs. Also - a thought. You could always give the PC a joining NPC or two to make numbers up depending on the size of the party. -------------------- Nikki's Nook - will you remember his name?

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Saturday, March 22 2008 06:30 Profile Homepage #6 Yes and no. If you use the call "message_dialog()", you can only have two strings of 255 character each. The two strings are separated by the comma. Like this: `message_dialog("THIS IS THE FIRST STRING.","AND THIS IS THE SECOND");` If you want more than two strings, you can use more than one message_dialog. I suspect though, that this will work: [ Saturday, March 22, 2008 06:31: Message edited by: Johnny The Horse. ] -------------------- Nikki's Nook - will you remember his name?

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Friday, March 21 2008 03:11 Profile Homepage #20 quote: Originally written by Arancaytar: I wonder if Nico is actually aware of having given Nikki her pencil. Edit: Or instead of wondering, I could just finish reading. See, I'm not even sure. I read it three times before posting the link, and couldn't work it out, which is very, very cool. It could be that Riibu is hoping I get killed by Nico for taking the pencil to get me out of the way, or else it could all be a misunderstanding. Or the two pencils could be different. If it is Nico's favourite pencil, well... :( My thoughts on the first chapter? I like how the scene is set. Despite there not being too many actual descriptions, I have no trouble imagining what everything looks like. The sense of darkness and foreboding, especially in the opening dialogue almost seeps through the words, and is very cleverly crafted. In fact, there's a level of tension that's maintained throughout, and that's no easy thing to write. I said that your writing style had developed heaps from Episode 3 to 4, and even in the short space of time from the start of Episode 4 to now, it's improved all the more. It's a testament to your talent that you can weave quite a serious, almost dangerous atmosphere through mainly dialogue. And it's even better than you can add a splash of humour (Synergy/Salmon (who else? :P )) without breaking that. I'm not going to rate it out of 5, or 10, since that's silly, and besides, this isn't CSR. But it's certainly good. I'm not sure if I've said this before, but you have a really lovely writing style. Anyway, that done, time for the real questions. So, where's Ecksian? The old Geneforge 2 Forum? Will Nico find her pencil, and forgive me if I do actually have it? Also, furries! I shall get my mask on, and fecth my pants from storage. It's time for a new tattoo! -------------------- Nikki's Nook - I am a stone that gathers no moss.
