First post: Rose and Blood

It's been about a year now since I've uploaded Howls in the Dark, and I've been working on a new module off and on now. Since I won't be able to finish it anytime soon, I thought I'd start a development blog so that those of you who are interested can get regular updates on my progress.

The new module, which goes by the working title of "Rose and Blood" will take quite some time to finish. This has two reasons:

  1. I am pretty busy with non-mod related things too. I have a demanding job, I am working hard to be able to get my shodan in aikido within a year (after about six years of training), and I reserve time for my girlfriend.
  2. Rose and Blood will be a fairly complicated mod. I am planning for two chapters and a prelude, about six companions to choose from (all of whom will have specific likes and dislikes), scripted combat (like vampires using their gaseous form ability to be better able to annoy you), custom content and an engaging storyline.

Right now I'm working on the second half of chapter 1. What I'm trying to do is put up the whole module skeleton first, and devote time to flesh out characters, design cutscenes, touch up dialogue and insert random ideas at a later stage.

So, since I don't want to give away too much, I'll end on this note. I've put up some screenshots for your viewing pleasure, and when I have passed a significant milestone I'll let you all know.
