Eh. My villain's probably gonna suck too. Oh well. Baby steps, I guess. It's my first scenario. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Maybe if it's worth the time it would take I'll go back and polish it up sometime after the release.

I was joking. Although now that I think about it, if I did replace the villain in my upcoming scenario with a generic demon lord then the scenario would be absolutely horrible. I have actually considered making a demon scenario that would concentrate on why the demons are "evil." I'll probably never make it though since it would just turn out to be another monster plague scenario. And I'm up to here with (my) monster plague scenarios. Edit: quote:But he's a very big rat...

The narrator? I don't remember meeting the narrator in the beta... By Smoo: quote:Speak of the... demon. This sounds like the puny scenario that I'm constantly revising and will never be released. Just be glad I didn't release what I had half a year ago...

When I first got the game, I started making a tiny little scenario about the Ritual of Registration, and you had to perform it against the Shareware Demon. I did this after I had played the full extent of the Av 1-3 and BoA demos. Then I came to my senses and realized how ridiculous I was being. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

What interests me is that everyone is so careful to only release good scenarios. BoE has quite a few pieces of crap, and the author not only learned from the mechanical aspect of the process, but by the critical reviews of the the work. So, by all means work on those scenarios, and finish them. Once released, they can only make you a better designer. Or kill you. Either's possible. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

quote:Correction: You would play it if you had BoA, if I ever bothered to complete it. :P Seriously though, you like the idea? Hmm. Perhaps I used to be more creative, and now I mistake that creativity for complete insanity. Well, I'll give some thought to going back and finishing it. I think I have to start from square one again, because I probably deleted it. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

I don't know if my villain will be considered any good. I'm aiming for trying to make the party somewhat sympathetic to the villain's cause, yet they still hate his guts. Whether I pull it off is yet to be seen. I know this isn't related, Kelandon, but I sent you a PM a week ago about your scenario.

I know that you sent me a PM. I like to respond to comments in bundles, and no one else has sent any sort of notes at all since the most recent version went up. Meh, I'll reply to it now. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

By Salmon: quote:I'm not too sure. I'm not going to beat myself up if I release a scenario that everyone hates; it'll be a learning experience, as you said. However, I can look at my scenario and see a lot that is wrong with it now. I'm not a perfectionist, and the scenario is puny anyways (one outdoor and four towns), but I'm not going to release something I know I'll regret (I'd rather release something I think I'll regret). If I wanted to, I could put several hours into my scenario straight, and then send out the beta. But after hearing Ephesos say that DoK could have been better if he didn't rush it, I'm not going to attempt to make the deadline. Of course, second year workload might have something to do with it too. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: I will be selective in the hiring of assassins.

Well, I won't let any suckiness that I observe keep me from releasing ItSoD. However, with my complete and sudden change of schedule, there aren't many solid blocks of time that I can use to complete it. So maybe it'll get done by the competition, or maybe I'll just have to wait until the next one anyway. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

Originally by Dintiradan: quote:But on the other hand, DoK isn't bad the way it is now. Spend a few hours on it to get it done, wait a few days before you take another look at it, spend another few hours fixing it up, and release it for beta testing. You may regret it releasing it later on, but you've been around long enough and put enough thought into it already that we players won't regret that you released it. Besides, it might be helpful to have a few beta testers to look at it and give a few suggestions. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |
