This is a bit embarrassing, but hey, it's part of the modding experience! When I first created this blog, I did it with the intent of initially setting it to offline mode so I could tinker with blogger.com. I knew I eventually needed a blog or website, but at the time, all I had was my story script and character biographies, meaning I had nothing substantial to share. Regardless, I was excited to create one. I thought, "No problem. I'll create the blog, then set it offline as I continue developing my script."
I created the blog, then something unexpected happened -- I couldn't find a way to set the blog offline! Sure, I could have deleted it, but I had already spent several hours on it. My solution was I'll avoid mentioning the blog! Surely no one will find an unannounced blog page for a video game over 10+ years old! Well, we know how that turned out! I believe the floodgate opened up from my avatar link on Demonheart's "followers" page, but let me know if you all found the blog elsewhere.
At this point, my mod's development took a sharp turn. In an effort to provide blog content, I embraced the opened blog and switched from less story scripting to more visually oriented content. This is a dangerous practice. After all, you shouldn't start directing a movie without a complete script, just like a modder shouldn't mod without a finished story. I began providing content for a blog that wasn't ready!
So this is where we stand: I'm sitting on a huge script that continues to grow, but I'm paranoid at transferring most of it to NWN because of what might change. At the same time, I want to provide you guys with updates. What I'm thinking is providing more updates on my ideas or approach to the mod. Then as I work my way up to incorporating more of my script into NWN, I'll start sharing more juicier content. I know seeing blog posts without screenshots is boring, but I'm realizing now it's better than not posting any updates at all.
