Back at it, whatever it is?

Well the short break didn't last long, but I did get a chance to play test Dark Avenger Chapter 2. It is an excellent game and a great continuation of the story from chapter 1. Anyone who hasn't played this or the first chapter needs to give it a play through, Wyrin has created a good solid and enjoyable story.

I never got around to playing any of the other games that I wanted to though, Risen Hero started calling to me again. I went from DA to play testing the second module of Risen Hero. Found several big bugs that I was able to quickly squash. Know what is a bad idea, placing a script on the fail to open of a lock door that assigns the PC to open that same door. A few speak triggers that didn't have the speak now turned to true so the NPC would run up to the PC and all the cutscreen cameras showed a bunch of different angles of nothing. But overall things are coming together, a bit more hack and slash then I originally planned but I feel that there is enough substance between the battles and reasons for the battles so they don't dominate the story.

Below is a collect of random screen shots in no real particular order from both module #1 and #2.

Those shots do look quite nice. Bug testing is always a difficult thing. Just when you think you've got everything, you'll leave a section for a while. Then when you come back to it later, you find a bunch of different errors you didn't come across the first time! But good to hear that you're finding them as you go!

I've been taking advantage of using smaller modules to complete and test before moving onto the next. One it helps maintain some level of organization and I find that it does provide some level satisfaction having completed a single part before moving on.
