Gaming Parents Studios Launches

Well, we decided to take the plunge and rename ourselves... instead of the NHiN team... we'll be known as Gaming Parents Studios or GPS for short.

We've just created our own blog at:
http://gamingparentsstudios.blogspot.com/

The whole team will be welcome to post their own updates and comments on our upcoming projects such as Night Howls in Nestlehaven 2, A Time to Die, among others we will list within the next few months or so.

Exciting Announcement!

I am so thrilled! I just received permission from Justin Durban, a very talented composer, to use some of his music in my upcoming saga, A Time to Die. Some of you may know him on the NWN Vault as Edgen.

He is pleased that I wanted to use his work and now I am occupied choosing from the many scores he has written. Luckily I have plenty of time since the campaign will still take quite a few months to complete.

Feel free to visit his site and listen to his music...what unbelieveable talent!

Harp & Chrysanthemum Mini-Review

This is the module that I am currently playing and man, what an awesome game it has been so far. The battles are challenging, the dialogue superb as well as the characterization of the companions. But, nothing compares to the beautiful atmosphere of the areas, the music, and even custom loadscreens -- an enjoyable experience not to be missed!

Once I am finished, I will be voting at the Vault... it is shaping up to be one of my favourites, next to the NHiN series. You can find it on the Vault at:

Update: April 7, 2008

Congratulations to Maedruin for winning module of the year 2007 at the Vault for this module - well-deserved, I'd say!

More pics of the Custom Cave Skydome...updated Dec 12

Here are more pics of the custom cave skydome I am working on for A Time to Die, Act III. I have just updated the skydome file as of Dec 12/07 so these are brand new. Progress is slow but sure...should be able to ask a few modders to beta test this and then release it to the Vault when it is ready.

Custom Skydomes Here We Come!

A special thanks to Camb (Divaren on the forums) for posting a tutorial on how to create your own skydomes! I have attempted my first one - a skydome resembling a cave ceiling so that I can use exterior areas instead for creating my caves. Here's a picture of my progress... with a few placeables for effect only.

Sunken Ruins added to A Time to Die...

A quick announcement- I am working on a sunken ruins to be included in a later Act of A Time to Die, wherein the player finds an ancient artifact needed for the final encounter. Here's a sneak peek at what the area looks like so far!

A Time to Die will contain Chasms...

I am happy to announce that the Chasms tileset will be included in A Time to Die saga, I will be using it for an underground area leading to a drow settlement. I won't reveal which settlement quite yet, but it is part of a large drow city.
