2 years and counting Options

[Galactygon]

Today is the exact date of when I started working on this mod. In February of 2003, I have downloaded my first tool (IEEP) and I wanted to make some ridiculously overpowered spells (yes, I was one of those people who have been dazzled by the cutscene at the end of Chateu Irenicus). After awhile, I realized that it took the fun out of gaming and some (existing) spells were something similar!

So I decided on March 30, 2003, to make some sort of a mod that balances the spells (including TDD and all those nice big mods of that time). Of course, it eventually evolved to be a mod that rebalances the spells by making them closer to PnP (I particularily like how they balance out the elements of the game). I wasn't sure whether or not I would release the mod, so I decided to keep it a secret and not register at the TeamBG forum until I am positive the mod shall be released.

So, I kept on working quietly until July (4th or 5th - I can't remember) when I registered at TeamBG. Back at TeamBG, I kept a sort of a modding diary in the TDD board (some people might actually remember this). I remembered it took months to convince Deano to provide me a forum for this mod, but I succeeded at around December of 2003. I stayed there until TeamBG kicked the bucket, that is, until TeamBG was hacked into. I first decided to wait for an entire month and see if TeamBG would come back (at the moment, I thought it was only temporary). During my wait, I started planning which community I should move to. Finding one was no problem (I recieved invitations from nearly every community out there). Choosing a more permanent one was a problem, since that meant I had to work with those people.

After much deliberations with myself, I decided to choose this one, since I liked the Blackwyrm the most.

This mod has been going on for 2 years (few unreleased mods go that far), has been through 2 Harddisk failures (the ultimate bane of modding), and will make it to the light of the day ~ it's only a question of time.
