General Discussion / The Challenge

« on: June 12, 2021, 06:54:01 am »

So I have commissioned an artist to do 4 digital paintings for my first two books, Children of Hell desperation and Separation. This is the first finished product called The Challenge. It is the first time that the race I created 'The Elder Fey'ri have been illustrated ever. The Elder Fey'ri are a bred race of a cross between Abishai and Ilythiir (pre-drow) for the purposes of Tiamat.

The Artist is Elena "Greendera" Zambelli of Italy.

In this scene Kioshi has challenged two women (Mayumi Torvirr and Miwa Duskmere) to a mating dual. If he can subdue to the two women they both become his wives. If they kill him, they are free to live their lives unwed. Kioshi temporarily takes out Miwa because he knows she wants to be his mate. Here he is concentrating on Mayumi because he knows she hates and wants to kill him. Mayumi like most elder fey'ri has both her wings and is fighting with a steel fan and katana. Kioshi lost one of his wings in the blood wars and the other in a dual with a master samurai. He has thrown his short staff away and is drawing his katana to subdue her.

I'll have some more scripts in the future, Sweets. Hopefully it will help the owners, scripters and custom content makers make their worlds better, and hopefully others will be able to modify the scripts I put up to make them better for their pws. Something like one generation building things better from the ideas of the previous generation's ideas.

I have completed this novel and it sits now somewhere deep within the bowels of the US Copywrite office. I will get back to you when I get my registration papers to publish.

I have put 7 door, trap and lock scripts on the scripting forum of Harvest Moon Consortium. Its a comprehensive system for a pw to handle these things. the scripts handle xp for thieves and others that pick locks and find and remove traps. the automatic opening and closing of doors after a delay. a reset script to replace trap triggers, and a script to break the locks on treasure chests instead of destroying the treasure chest itself along with a script to open things via spoken password.

They are small scripts but have excellent and multiple uses for a persistent world. Without further adieu here is the link: http://www.harvestmoonconsortium.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2827

I have completed the rough draft of the novel 'A field of Lilies' it is currently 26,624 words, about 1/10th my other two novels. I'll be looking for proofreaders to tell me where I may improve it soon. I need to have a clean and polished novel before copywriting it. Soon enough you will be able to download it. I believe even as small as it is that its a powerful novel and my best work thus far.

General Discussion / Novel update.

« on: October 17, 2020, 03:24:15 pm »

howdy everyone. its October and I have completed the intermission of my 3rd novel. The working title is 'A field of Lilies."  It marks the half-way point of the rough draft.

This novel is very different from my other two books. It is not connected to the Children of Hell series. I will complete the last book of that trilogy after putting this one out. Unlike Children of hell I was careful to make this short novel have a general background instead of placing it on Toril. Which means I have something I can sell perhaps if I choose too for 2 or 5 bucks a copy.

Another feature is that about a 1/3 to 1/2 the book is written in cursive. I have a very good reason to write it in that form. I know many cannot read cursive so I will be making a second non-cursive book. If you can read cursive I believe you will enjoy the cursive version much more than the non-cursive.

I am looking to complete the book by Christmas. We'll see. I'm a working stiff so time is always against me meeting deadlines. I am having a bunch of fun with this novel. The second children book was a bit strained because I pushed myself to completing it which in turn probably delayed its release. This one I'm more relaxed on.
 
I had Angel (my wife) review the intermission and she made some suggestions. I incorporated her advise into it and it is much, much better. I was coming close to the scene being x-rated and most that have read my writings know I'm not too hot on graphic stuff. Now it's come down to more of a pg-13 rating which is I feel is much better.

I then asked another to read the intermission because I still felt it was not good enough for the book. They loved it so I kept is as is for now.

So this is my update. I think everyone will be surprised on how different this book is from the two Children of Hell novels. I'll have more updates in the coming weeks

For those who have not read the first two novels, They are free fan fiction books that can be downloaded from my site. Here are the links:

General Discussion / Re: Step into the Future - Questions and Suggestions

« on: July 16, 2020, 10:29:04 pm »

I think for suggestions there are a couple I would like to see.

1.pc scaling. Saw this on another server recently and it wowed me. Its a very nice touch and makes things much more immersive with everyone being different heights but in the size parameters of their races.
2. networked quest, quest inside of other quests, and quests where you find things to point you to other quests.
3. a show of Dm's thats important to me and I have not seen any as of yet but i have little time to play thus far and the server is doing a revamp so I hope to see some once the server is up an about again.
4. I'm not much on the crafting stuff I've been doing that RL for the last 30 years as a gunsmith. But its important.

That's all can think of on the spot.

Hello all,

     Hi all, I'm Winterhawk, or just Winter. Some may know me. I'm a long time player and developer from the beginning of Nwn. I hope to add to your world with the pcs I build and experience: your so far exceptional server. I've only played a few hours and have seen some very good results from my experiences so far.

     I hope to be able to explore more of your world and perhaps find a home on this server.

     Shout out to Mermut my old lead scripter. You go girl. I already see why you chose to develop on Netheril.

     Peace out
     winter.
