The Wolf Ate The Hawk!

Author: CWolf

Firstly I’ve changed the project name to White Wolf. Reasons behind this are that wolves are one of two fav, animals and also there’s a lot more pictures around the net I can use of them. To make things easier for myself I’ve set up a wiki so I can save all my scripts, quests, items, characters and the rest of the stuff neatly.

Three exams down and only two more to go, Databases and Computational Maths. Fun. On a side note the thunder last night was awesome!

NWN2: Quests

Author: CWolf

Last night I wrote the objectives and dialogue for a simple ‘Kill wolf pack’ quest that a farmer will ask the PC. I think I’m slightly influenced by the Fallout series because I’m determined to make sure there is a impatient, annoyed, evil and/or arrogant reply for every conversation branch. It’s a little harder to make sure it’s in but it’ll help when catering for the evil darker characters.

Wrote myself a nice little textpad syntax file for quests. If used with the right formatting it makes the dialogue trees much easier to read. It’s the small things I guess =).

Thinking of some more quests for 1-5 level characters now in between my revision. Revision sucks lol.

Naruto Sprites

Thanks to Ben we have a lot of Naruto sprites, along with all the other major characters. We’ll prob. end up making some more but it’ll cut our workload down a lot… and they look pretty =).

Need to think up good story lines.

Future Projects

Author: CWolf

A list for myself to remember what I’d like to get working on:

  • NWN2 module: Project White Hawk story
  • M.O.D.E.S research
  • Naruto RPG planning
  • General Furscape planning and design
  • A lot more drawing and story for cwolf_souless!
  • Ultimate Showdown HL2 mod planning

Recently revising has reached a boiling point.  It’s the third time I’m resitting these exams, and not due to lack of revising either.  Information I revise never sticks in my head so this time I changed my technique and doubled my efforts.  I think it’s paying off having sat one exam today, Algorithms II and Data Structures, with it handling nicely.  Four more to go.

I’ve got a damn cold too, which doesn’t help.  Really don’t feel like revising anymore today after going to a morning Computational Maths 90min revision lecture and sitting the full 2 hours of the exam.  James’ advice paid off as 10mins from the end I spotted a fatal flaw in one of my heap constructions.  Luckily I fixed it with only seconds to spare.   At least the maths lecture armed me with all the needed parrot learning material to pass the exam.  The new maths lecturer, while very cool and saved us all from the Russian maths, has made the course a thousand times harder than the first time I had to sit it.  Oh well, troublesome but can’t be helped I guess.

As soon as my exams are over I’m heading back to full-time work at Starbucks also until, and if, I enter the new term at university.  If I do I’m rewarding myself with a new PCI-e computer.  X1900 512mb X-Fire also I think I’ll go for!  I’m going to sleep the entire day when I finish my last exam.  I really want to work more on cwolf_souless but haven’t had any free time.  Damn.  Might do some sketches in my free time between revising tomorrow.
Maybe I’ll feel better after posting this heh.
