[thesulliedone]

So as the final task of this course I've been on this month, I had a final test. Even tho it was very blatantly gonna be an open-book one, still had the exam nerves...

And then I proceded to learn that it was a much shorter test compared to the practice ones...and finished it in like 5 minutes.

Guess I'm going for a walk then.

Dev Journal: Day 1

I’ve tried a few times at putting myself out there with my system, boss, level, and world design content. Every time I did it for feedback, or validation, because I was looking for a reason to go out and do it full-time. Well, I’m now fresh out of college, a year down the drain trying to find any job that matches my qualifications, and have nothing better to do than to take the hobby I’ve poured countless hours into and run with it. So now this blog is finally just going out there for myself; clean slate.

For anyone who finds themselves becoming an interested and long-time fan of my work, I’ll document where I’m starting from here. Like I said, I’m fresh out of college. Twenty-two years old with a degree in Statistical Analysis, and a sizable amount of coursework in Operations, Actuarial Math, and Physics to boot. All that aside, I’ve been a huge game nerd for 15 years, been writing worlds and systems for a decade, and have been a perma-DM of both Dungeons and Dragons as well as, now, Pathfinder for a sum total of 5 years and counting. Needless to say, I’m a nerd who wasn’t encouraged to write - so I did all the hard homework first to make time for it.

This blog is gonna start out kinda boring, it’s really just me documenting what I’m doing. In part so I can look back at it, in part so I have it all somewhere that can be seen, and finally just so I can put myself out there. Being nerdy doesn’t really score you a huge network until well after school. Eventually I’m hoping to put some of my old D&D content and notes as a DM and worldbuilder out there. Maybe someone will learn something, maybe not.

Regardless, today was Day One. My first steps to really becoming a game designer. I’ve always had a knack for level and world design. I like making things that feel meaningful and have something to add. I’ve also been infatuated with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim since I was in middle school. So me, who has no credentials in softdev or compsci, well how am I going to make myself stand out to game studios? I’m starting with the Skyrim Creation Kit, and hopefully I can make something good enough to play with the big boys in some of the large community projects.

Today is Day One, Project One: The Bookwyrm’s Vault.

When I think of Skyrim, I think of three things. Vikings, dragons, and the Jedi Greybeards. But when I think of my ideal fantasy, I think of the wizarding type of sorcery, I think of arcane dragons - long-lived individuals who have honed magic over generations. And who’s to say that the dragons of Skyrim can’t be this way, Parthurnax certainly is.

So I devised the idea of the Bookwyrm’s Vault. I’m still undecided whether it is a Dwemer ruin built around the den of a long-departed dragon, or a ruin which a dragon took interest in. Regardless of which, the goal of this dungeon, unlike many of those in Skyrim, is not to add a crawl through enemies to feed the martial prowess of so many of the races of Tamriel. It’s to instead create something once beautiful and tranquil.

Initially I thought to conform to the Dwemer dungeon stereotypes of long hallways with many guardian automatons and littered steamworks and metal scraps. I’ve decided instead to be less industrious and more mystic and monastic with this ruin, to design a great library of magic and lore, one that rivals the College of Winterhold. Perhaps some Dwarven Spiders, remnants of a bookkeeping system as degraded as the parchment, remain to provide a small inconvenience to the Dragonborn. Even maybe a few runes of fire and lightning protecting more secretive experiments, or lingering from the attempts to keep something else in. This is my level, my addition, and I want it to reflect my interests in fantasy.

Now, today was my first day working with the Creation Kit. Panning with the MMB is a new experience, and wow could it use an efficiency update, but it is a decade-plus old piece of software, so I guess it gets a pass. For my first time working with the software, and having no clue what assets Skyrim actually uses, I decided to go pretty simple.

We start, as all subterranean dwellings must, with a passageway down and in to the earth, allowing all the room needed to carve out the great recording hall that is front and center. This room will, once populated, hold a dozen or more desks in varying states of repair and organization, and will have been where historically research of older tomes and transcription was done.

To the east of the recording hall, I’ve made a larger laboratory for more practical experimentation, which will feature a handful of crafting stations, like an alchemy and enchanting table, as well as maybe a staff enchanter if I feel inclined to make this mod require the Dragonborn mod.

To the west of the recording hall I plan to have a short hallway that connects a number of bedchambers, or private cells. A place to rest or study quietly.

Finally, to the south a passage leads further down. The door at the end of this passage will be locked, and I feel the key would be best kept in a well-warded chest in one of the private cells, as it leads to the special collections room.

Based on what I’ve seen of the assets library so far, I’m worried about making the special collections room because I had been hoping to make it a two-tiered library, but that may not be possible with the assets that exist and I certainly don’t have the experience to produce new ones. I may be able to use some of the components normally reserved for exteriors to get by, though. Only time will tell.

TV World Boss Fight || SOFTD

Ever since he had fallen asleep a second time, he hadn’t woken up. For weeks, several members of the Shadow Operative originals had visited him, even if this wasn’t their Minato from their respective timeline, it was still painful to see him like this, painting a similar picture of another tragic event which had apparently been the fate of the original Minato from this world. Doctors and specialists of all kinds had looked him over, after trying virtually everything they possibly could, they weren’t able to determine why he had fallen asleep again. 

As grim as it seemed, there was at least one positive, because he had been sleeping and getting so much rest, he managed to successfully recover, yet he was still stuck in this sleep-like state. While everyone around him was concerned and unsure of what was happening, Minato himself knew. Deep down within the depths of his mind, while his Persona Alice was recovering from using her Survival Trick, she had been trapped inside of him. Because of the connection he had with his Persona, she was able to somehow pull him in where she was. When Minato had been injured from a previous incident, the leftover negativity, all the guilt, manifested enough to form an image of his shadow self inside the inner depth of his psyche. That shadow form, was trying claim Alice as his own Persona and break free. 

After a tough battle, Minato managed to defeat his Shadow and free Alice reclaiming her soul and allowing him the ability to summon her again, the bond of the Death Arcana strengthened granting Alice with a new skill, Eigaon(Heavy Curse Attack to 1 Enemy) which replaced Evil Touch.

Grey eyes jolt open. Thankfully, this time it doesn’t take him long to realize where he was. Mitsuru came to see him the moment she heard he had woken. After some reassurance that he was okay, she briefed him on the situation and brought him up to speed about what was going on. She had a expressed her apologies for making him jump right into battle immediately after waking up. But thanks to Alice’s reappearance, he felt fine and was fine with it, this seemed like a rather urgent situation and it was clear that back up was needed, this was what it was to be a Shadow Operative, so he had no qualms with rushing into the fight, he’d be drained after it all, but it didn’t matter, he was going to do his part and fight.

He learned that he was on Team 1 and that it had mostly members of the Investigation crew and a few others, but he had no problems with that, he’d do his best to help out. Changing into his usual attire, he grabbed his shorts sword and evoker and prepared to meet his team on the battlefield, he wasn’t going down this time, no where near as easy as before.

Feeling invigorated, he gets a vehicle escort to the nearest TV and enters before rushing to battle in the area where Team 1 was positioned and makes his way to join them, he was refreshed and ready to go, he didn’t know everything about the enemy this time, but had been given the basic details, another battle, another step closer to getting out of here.

[{ 🦋 }] - “I know, I’m super late, but I’m ready to do this!”
