Loving the new website (or is it the old one but revamped?). Also it's good that you opted for EE as a base, if for no other reason than active support. Where can we join the discord?

We are working on custom models for every player race, some are only place holders for now others are getting really close to being done, thanks to Acidchalk and now Tjured has started helping with them as well.

If you or someone you know would like to help with this project, then please contact me.

We currently could use any kind of

- All kinds of 3D modeling help (weapons, armor, creatures, buildings and so on). We even help teach if its something you really want to do.

- Scripting/Coding NWN using a very basic watered down C code.

Thanks for your time.

Why the hell would you do that ?
Is ToEE engine too hard to mod ?
If it's the case, KotC 2 is coming with a great mod support depending on the kickstarter success, why not save your energy for a deserving engine ?

So, KotC 2 tools are out for backers but it's still possible to email Pierre to get it before the official release.

Any plan to switch ?

Looks like the website is dead but there is a couple of updates from April on Twitter...

NWN is a complete game, models, animations, creatures, classes, races, combat, so on and so on.
NWN is supported once again with updates, fixes, and server listings once again.
NWN has also had a lot more of its code unhardcoded and opened to the community allowing for even more custom stuff then ever before.
NWN is also a D&D video game that allows for you to create your own modules, servers, adventure and so on. So this project is creating the Dark Sun setting withing a D&D video game which people will have to own and or buy to play. So WotC still has their hand in it.

Picking a different engine would be even more work because
- a lot of the D&D elements that are already done in NWN would have to be created.
- everything from classes, races, creatures, combat, so on and so on would need to be created.
- then it wouldn't be created in a D&D game and it would be its own game which would bring up the licensing problem and since we are just a bunch of fans creating this in our free time we don't have the time, money or resources to do that kind of thing.

Now this project is still being worked on, I'm just not on the team any longer do to some real life things. So since I was the front man handling all the media that part of things has been dropped because no one else wishes to do all that part of the project.

If you would like to help look for Draygoth or Acidchalk in the NWN community.

You'll have only yourself to blame when Hearkenwold is released and you can cry over what you could have achieved...

I really enjoyed Wake of the Ravager back in the day. I hope this will be as good or better.

Well the camera in NWN now can be unlocked to allow a lot better use of it.
As for the graphics well we are doing far better with all new textures and higher polly counts.
As well as just trying to recreate the iconic Dark Sun Art

The Dark Sun team

is looking for a few people to edit 2da’s for the project, no scripting is needed. You would just use a text program like word or notepad to edit lines in text documents. Setting them up for things like . . .

- Classes
- Races
- Skills
- Feats
- XP
- BAB
- Spells
* and so on

We also have two people on the team who can write scripts that may be needed to work with classes and or skills.

If your interested just reach out and contact me. Thanks for your time.

So from left to right, Thri-kreen, Human, Human? (mounted), Halfling?, Mul, Half-giant, Human, Dwarf? (mounted)

The models for the races and the mounts are looking quite good actually, like more polished vanilla meshes

You got most of them
Thri-Kreen, Human, Elf (mounted) (which we both know wouldnt most likely happen) Halfling, Dwarf, Half-Giant, Human, Human (mounted)

Here is a link that has some screenshots of our current models, which will be getting fixes and tweaks going forward, but are our current place holders for now

We are creating a PW server, however once our server is launched we will be releasing all of our content to the NWN community to do whatever they want with. So I'm sure some people will use our work to create modules. To be honest a few people on our team are already talking about wanting to create some modules as well. However for now our main focus is on a PW server.
