Awia,

Great to see you back. And a Nordic island sounds good to me too. Go for it : )

Thanks Tarl! But I think the Nordic Island most wait till I have done the first chapter ;)

Glad you are back.


Thanks mate! :D

Hey guys ;D

I'm working on some basic ideas / projects / tools to use in Barbada island and other projects I may find interesting.

The first is a building tileset :D
explanation:

Instead of making an entire building model, then I think of splitting a building up into parts:

  • so one part would be the fundament (I could make 3 of these)
  • one part would be the house form and texture (3 of these again or maybe 9 (3x3 : 3 forms 3 classes)
  • One part would be windows
  • one part would be doors
  • one part accesories and so on :D


That way I could make an entire city with that tileset without having every building looking like all the others :D

Of course I would still need special buildings and so on but I think its a good idea what do you think=?


The other tool is a quest plot making tool :D
Explanation:

I have written a document which contains following parts:

Conflict(S)	Outer	Innercharacters and objects	Giver(S)	Target(S)	Helper(S)	Antagonist(S)¨	Reward(S)Motivation(S)	Giver(S)	Helper(S)	Antagonist(S)¨


Under each part I have written a whole bunch of opportunities.
That way I (or if a release this separately) can way better make generic interesting quests with all aspects of a basic good story.
Of course a person who would use this tool would still have to use his or hers imagination, lore, background story and quest writing skills to make a good quest, but it is actually a very smart way to create quest plot lines :D


Please comment on what you think of these ideas/tools

Hey guys :)

Well I began to work on some good old modding again, working mainly on the main quest. And I must say I think my idea is pretty good, I just hope it is going to work out for other people! :D I won't say what it is yet, because I feel we are nearing a new release soon perhaps. I know I have been saying that for a long time but I can see the end of the first chapter of the main quest, so perhaps it will soon be done :D

Alright now I have read every single post in this thread and I am simply inspired by this mod it gives me the motivation to make my own story and turn it into a creation others can enjoy, for that I thank you! :D

Fantastic work on the mod. I am astounded by the amount of work and effort you have put into your utterly beautiful creation involving both story and characters which is something you don't see much to often anymore, and that makes it very much it's own little world apart from Oblivion but yet somehow linked to Oblivion. It has a terrific feel to it and is a fantastic addition to everyone's game. I seriously hope you continue your work on this and one day finish your story, and most welcome addition to the great and ever expanding Elder Scrolls Universe.
