I'm making a story-based module for Neverwinter Nights 2. The goal is to learn to think like a game designer and analyze player feedback.
In the mean time, I thought I'd make a thread to store some thoughts.
So far I've been learning the toolset, and I created a simple module. If anyone wants to play it, I can put it up for you. It is three areas and probably takes about 10 minutes to play, but you can get a taste of my sense of humor.
Now that I have a handle on the toolset, I'm starting to create the game. I have the plot worked out into 5 chapters, and I've designed the first chapter. I've made a list of all the quest journal entries I need to make as well as all the other stuff (npcs, items, areas, etc.).
The story will be an urban fantasy where you are a jr. partner at a private detective shop. This will be your first real case. The story is essentially linear, but you can play it in many different ways, like Deus Ex. You can be a bully and fight/intimidate your way through, or be a slick talker and convince people to help you out, etc.
No screenshots yet. I'm going to get the story logic worked out (all the dialogs and quest updating and such) and then build the world. I think the building will be the tough part. Maybe I should start that early on to get some working zones first.
