Exodus Progress in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 16:56 Profile Homepage #6 quote: Originally written by Enraged Slith: My only hope is that you learned something from earlier criticism and will exclude large battles, like those that detracted from Bahssikava. None of the criticism of Bahs that I remember involved "large" battles. It's been criticized and praised for the same things so many times that it's hard for me to keep straight what people have said. But I am trying to make combat substantially different. The special spells are a big part of that. EDIT: You know, there's one custom graphic that I could use: a two-high bonfire, like the normal bonfire but with flames that go up much higher.

Exodus Progress in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 14:12 Profile Homepage #4 Aran: I've debated when and how I'm going to make available the grammar and vocabulary of the language. I'm still working on the finer points of it, but when I get a chance (probably during beta testing), I could put up something. My general feeling has been that the language found in Avernum is a heavily barbarized version of the one in the homeland, and the sliths of Gnass introduced some reforms that brought in significant neologisms, which is sort of my way of removing my language from anything that anyone else has ever made. Ephesos: Fewer undead, yes. There are a few undead creatures that get summoned — and one major fight with a lot of undead — but not nearly as much as in Bahs. Likewise, there aren't many demons (two major places for those that I can think of). Most of the enemies in Exodus are organic in nature. Some reptilian, some not. I like Bahs for what it is, but I have no desire to do the same thing again. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Exodus Progress in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 13:08 Profile Homepage #0 Some people indicated that they'd be interested in hearing about the progress that I've made on Exodus, the sequel to Bahssikava. Well, here it is. I first mentioned Exodus in the contest results thread. Basically, Bahs is the section of the journey through the parts of the slith lands that the Bahssikavans have touched, from upper Bahssikava itself out to Vasskolis, the deepest the Bahssikavans have gone into the homeland. Exodus is the long, river journey from Vasskolis to the borders of the current-day homeland slith empire (or what remains of it). Exodus has (in the plan right now) 53 towns and 30 outdoor sections. The outdoors is pretty much done. About 35 of the towns have been drawn, and about 25 of them are more or less complete (with a little bit left to do). I've gotten into a pretty good groove, and I know exactly what needs to be done most of the way from here, so the rest of it should come faster than the previous bit. Some things to look forward to: * More character development! I've promised that Phaedra's feminine side will shine through in this scenario, and it will. But each of the major characters of Bahssikava (Legare, Kass, Pithoss, Ethass, Talas, Silthokh, Ithik, Phaedra, Machrone) will have more stage-time and more lines. * Special spells! The party is something like level 50 or 60 to start out the scenario, so I've imagined a set of spells continuing upward for another 20 or 30 levels. * A conlang for the sliths! I've already alluded to this on the boards, and I have created a full-blown language for the homeland sliths, complete with a linguistic history and literary background. The Khalthanad, the epic poem of the homeland sliths, will play prominently in Exodus. In sum: the planning aspect is about 90% done, and the actual work of making the first version is about 50% done. After that, I'll do a (hopefully brief) round of alpha testing, and then I'll ask folks around here to do a couple of rounds of beta. No idea when all that will be, yet — it will depend a lot on the progress I make over the next two weeks before school starts again. But anyway, I just wanted to let people know that I am still working on this scenario.

time period in Avernum 4
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 12:09 Profile Homepage #3 When you're speaking with Houghton and Starrus is when the game gets the most specific about time. Houghton was stationed at the Castle since before the war with Sss-Thsss, which is described as "decades before you were born." The heroes of A4 were born decades after A1, then, which suggests that it's at least 40 or 50 years after A1. If we are to believe the date counters in A1 and A3, A3 is 16 years after A1, so I'd round to 25-35 years after A3. Starrus was born right before Micah died, and Micah was still alive in A3, so we can guess that Starrus was born after the time of A3. Starrus is in his early twenties in A4, so we can guess that A4 is more than 20 years after A3. If we are to believe the date counters in BoA, VoDT takes place 22 years after A3, and ZKR takes place 2 years after that. A4 takes place after ZKR (since it makes reference to ZKR and the Second Slith War). However, the Second Slith War is described as brief, so it need not take place significantly after ZKR. I'd guess that A4 takes place around 30 years after A3, give or take.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, January 2 2006 22:09 Profile Homepage #34 It is very odd to hear Brian Johnson singing Bon Scott-era songs, which I've only heard occasionally (on live recordings). I think they sound fairly different. Not as different as, say, Axl Rose and Layne Staley (can you imagine if Alice in Chains tried to cover a GNR song?), but different. I also think that the band changed styles a little when they changed lead singers, too. The guitars on Back in Black are heavier, darker, and more modern than the guitars on Highway to Hell. They're both good albums, but they don't sound alike to me. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, January 2 2006 17:11 Profile Homepage #22 Then I'll repeat myself: what do you think about songs like "Fade to Black," then, which was an old song that sounded like something out of '90s Metallica? Much of Ride the Lightning sounds more like the Black Album (which is technically self-titled, despite its popular name) than it sounds like Kill 'Em All or Master of Puppets. I'm not trying to make an argument, here. I'm seriously asking if you hear a difference.
