Interestinly enough I hadn’t read up much on Spore Origins until today, designed by Will Wright, the man behind the ledgendary Sims franchise. Oh, how much didn’t I felt sidestepped, much like Diogo Ribeiro?

I had that Idea tens of years ago, and now I realize probably a lot more people did…
Read up on the Spore Origins concept and thats truthfully the original idea I thought to be alone with.
Well I was not.
Great to have someone else doing the game I couldn’t write or produce!

Honest and thoughtworthy.

Diary of a Failed Game Designer

Dang. I was very wrong in my assumptions In the last post about this game I made.

Single player mode only,

Though I still believe that Bioware will meet my expectations in the past post.

Cheers to BW for making another community friendly game. Also I think that its been an ingredient in their Dragon Age recipie all the time, nothing has been confirmed until now.

So whats up with the DA:Origins? Endless possibilities, or at least I think the developers will cram out every ounce of playability, modability, and longevity of this game for as long as possible. Hence the tiltle “Origins”. Only the beginning. They’ve learned a lot over the years with the Baldurs and NWN community making mods and requesting improvements and/or alterations to their original products.

Let me look into my scrying glass for a while;
Will persistent worlds(PW) be a Dragon Age possibility? Yes.
Will PWs need a third party file, like NWN 2? Maybe, but now featuring download possibilities in-game.
Will there be horses? Yes.
Will DA:Origins match NWNs replayability? Yes, and moreso.

For download possibilities in-game one would want to confirm a update/download and then initialize ones anti-virus software to scan the file(s). Piece of cake to make custom content and special tweaks and rules requiring third party files if BioWare would like to make some community oriented implementations to the game.

What about digital distribution and premium modules programs? Well, we’ve only seen the beginning.
Soon My Dragon Age mod will be downloaded on the Xbox Live market and I will play on my PC homemade Dragon Age Persistent World with both Xbox and PC gamers.

Amazing!

What do I do in all this then? Well I’ve been an avid lurker at forums from around, like ages ago, the release of Neverwinter Nights. I dabble in custom content creation, scripting, 3d modeling but mostly creating in the toolset and writing the Endooran Chronicles.
My plans for the nearest future is to release a small playable version of Port Teyhen, now with all custom tilesets cut out, to test run and have a blast at my own server.

Im going to post some good hints and tips for NWN in the nearest future. Stay tuned.

Intentionally or not?

Strange, never happened when I tested it out. Do you have tile fade enabled?

The only animations are the flames if you turn the sign “on”, the column should not disappear.
- Brian Chung, BioWare

[Updated]

Three shots, different environments. Second and third one with no tile fade.
Animations should be on, set Useable on sign and then Activated in initial state.

Sorry for posting different sizes.

Now with the final patch around the corner I hopefully can get thing going in terms of my own projects. More to come on that subject.

In the meantime I browe pages over att Berras and NWvault, especially Worms custom tilesets.

Check out this game if you’ve not done so already!
