Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, December 8 2006 16:36 Profile Homepage #8 As Ephesos said, I don't think we really want another Bandit Busywork. Bug fixes are the top thing. Adding new calls would be the next thing, if he felt generous, but making the program work as it is intended is the most important aspect of providing support to the community. EDIT: Note that this post occurred well before this one.

Avernum 5 Early, Early Notes in Avernum 4
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, December 8 2006 12:31 Profile Homepage #17 Wow. I'm actually excited about Spidweb games again. I was mostly sticking around for BoA, but GF4 has gotten such good comments on the boards, and Nethergate 2.0 sounds like enough of a good thing, and A5 sounds so promising, that I'm genuinely looking forward to playing these games. It was getting kinda depressing in there around GF3 and A4, but I like the way things are turning now. One thing: I hope that this "new area of Avernum" will have a reasonable justification for it and will fit within the sense of the Avernum world. Here I'm thinking of ZKR and how difficult it was to make sense of the geography of the scenario in relation to what we knew of Avernum — it was just some new place that we'd never heard of before, without any explanation why we'd never heard of it or really even where it was. A2 did a really good job of opening up a new area of the caves: of course we didn't know about the route to vahnatai lands, because it was opened via a cavequake. I hope that some similarly reasonable explanation will be included in A5.

After a while in BoE, he said that he just looked through the scenario with some sort of super-editor that allowed him to see the whole scenario all at once (or something like that), so he probably just skims through the scripts and the stuff in the editor and leaves it at that. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Beta Call for Exodus in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, December 7 2006 21:35 Profile Homepage #139 quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: So, Kelandon, I don't know what's up with me, the Bahssikava series, and unhandled exceptions, but I just got one in Exodus. What it is is that I'm a designer on a Mac and you're a player on Windows. That almost invariably causes Unhandled Exceptions. :P quote: It happened in Thanopolen Tower during the cutscene after killing the chief. It worked fine before that point. I haven't tried redownloading or even replaying the fight, but from my experience with the ones I got in Bahssikava, they occur consistently. I'm running Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? I have not heard of such an issue from anyone else, but that doesn't mean that it won't happen for others. If you can send me a save file right before it occurs, I can try to fix it. Otherwise I'm not sure that I can do anything. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Avernum 5 Ideas in Avernum 4
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, December 6 2006 07:59 Profile Homepage #14 For the record, this is what Jeff had to say about this a while back: quote: Originally written by Spidweb: The way I currently picture Avernum 5 is: i. In a whole new area of the underworld. ii. On a much smaller scale, plot-wise. You have a major mission, but no monolithic power trying to blow up the world. iii. More like Avernum 2 in details of storyline. iv. Vahnatai are present. v. More talk and diplomacy. vi. More PC icons and graphical improvements, but the same underlying engine. But I won't think about things in real detail for a year, at least. - Jeff Vogel I am in favor of i, iii, and vi, and I'm probably happy about ii. I'm unsure about v, and I'm a little anxious about iv.

"The Order of Operations" in Blades of Avernum Editor
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, December 5 2006 16:31 Profile Homepage #2 I assume you mean scenario creation from the ground up, as opposed to something more specific. In that case, I tend to work from large to small. Here's what I've done, although it may not be the best way for everyone: * Basic plot outline. Who are the major characters? What are their roles? What is the role of the party? What happens to the party, and what does the party do? This happens before I even touch the scenario editor. * Basic engine adjustments. One of the first things I did in Exodus was design the special spells and artifacts, which turned out to be a very good thing to do. Then I was tinkering with them (although perhaps not as much as I should have been) for the rest of the design process. Similarly, I figured out the no-magic alchemy-based system in LP pretty early on. * Outdoors. Not every detail in the outdoors need be accounted for (and most of the special encounters will not be, at this point), but some general map of the land is useful. * Friendly towns, in approximately the order that they're visited. First layout, then encounters and dialogue. * Hostile towns. Layout first. Combat and puzzles last. This has the advantage that one can focus on plot more in the beginning, which is fairly critical. I may do something totally different for my next scenario, though. Who knows. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
