It looks like today I finished coding, testing and de-bugging (in first iteration) everything that was written. That includes banters for all npcs - except Cernd and Sarevok (and maybe a few more Jaheira). I want to thank everybody for their help. We are now 2/3 the way through - lets write some more dialogs. My estimates of release date are becoming more and more optimistic.

[dorotea]

Cernd dialogs are being revised - but I love them all very much. The Deva quest is being written/revised as well. And the Sarevok banters... and more Jaheira.

Today I added Jaheira romance modifications needed to make the Redemption plot work - no fear I did not remove anything, only added some stuff, as Jaheira will grill PC on Irenicus and possible future danger for Suldanesselar in case of his failure to redeem the villain.

On the side note - whatever our dear leaders did to the forums software - but now I am unable to access it from work through the firewall without a proxy and using https:// protocol... It is rather cumbersome, sigh. Yeah - but games/entertainment is not exactly the topics they want me to discuss from the office I guess.

Finally - I revised all 3 Cernd banters and posted them. Deva Quest next.

[dorotea]

Updated and corrected 'near final' version of the Deva Quest 1 st long dialog is posted in the Workroom. Please revise if you have access.

[dorotea]

Latest additions: 2 Sarevok's banters (see below), 1 extra banter for Valygar by Domi and 1 banter between PC and Irenicus for 'evil' path.

Please review these in the Workroom if you have time and desire to help!

Deva Quest items got new bams.

[dorotea]

All 3 banters with Cernd are finalized and locked. I will probably code them tonight or tomorrow. Now I need your help on spellchecking Sarevok banters. Please, proofreaders - don't be shy. I really need the npc banters done with before I can concentrate on the Quest and the final scenes.

Do you have any ETA for a release?

[dorotea]

Erhm. Looking at our general tempo I say end of August...

[dorotea]

Mostly we are working on peripherals for Deva quest these days - I made a series of new bams and cre files with special effects. More dialogs are coming as well.

[dorotea]

Finally - a new dialog posted in the Workroom. This is a mad Bebilith and PC. I think he is rather funny, as the tentacle horrors go.

[dorotea]

Added dialog options for Irenicus in the conversation with Bebilith, also tiny snippet for Yakman. Please review in the Workroom.

[dorotea]

Finished making the Items of Accord - modified the ones done by Valheru to our needs. Posted the items descriptions. Need them spellchecked.

[dorotea]

Made a new area for the Elysium scene of the Deva quest - used one of the IWDII areas... check the Workroom for the screen shot.

[dorotea]

New dialog between Irenicus , Bebilith and PC is posted today.

[dorotea]

Posted a new dialog and the journal entries for the Deva quest. Please review in the Workroom.

[dorotea]

Finally revised and updated the Keldorn - Irenicus dialog by Seifer.

[dorotea]

Aww, folks, I am sorry - I am deep in writing the next part of BGA, almost done though. On Saturday we coded and tested a huge chunk of the Deva quest - the demons, the Devas , the imps and the nymphs all now have cre files, portraits and they talk. It was fun and I hope we can finalize the Deva Quest soon and turn our eyes to finale.

[dorotea]

We continue to code. Doing Gromnir, Yaga Shura and Deva quest.
