Shadewood | 09.04.08

Released 09.04.08

"The creak of branches catch your ear as you come to the boundary of the wood. Known to many as the Forest of Mir, the wood has grown out of control over the past few months.

The trail left behind in Almraiven has brought you here; a foul wood that has been attacking those along the Western Passage, or so the locals of Almraiven have said. Branches reaching a little too far, roots curling upward to entangle the passer-by and wandering spirits have been on the tongues of many.

It is here your investigation continues. What started as a simple investigation will end with the Auren Society of Weavers closing the pages of old and opening up a new chapter in the arts of the arcane.

Bring your skills Weaver, for you will need them all."

The canopy lurks even during the day


Death playfully dances ahead


Shadows descend


A safe haven ahead


An overgrown port


The final stretch | 09.02.08

What's that approaching?

These past few moments, for anyone who has built a module before, are the worst moments for myself. It's the little things you need to do and tie up before the big public release. Such as typing up the information file, preparing the screens that will go along with the module and knocking down those last minute bugs that just like to creep up at this time.

To start off September, Almraiven has had a large update. I'm trying to anticipate a mad rush to download and play Almraiven for anyone who becomes interested in Shadewood, as well as offer a very tidy adventure with as little bugs as possible for those who go to replay the city adventure. See Almraiven Latest Patch for what's been updated.

That brings us straight to Shadewood. The last beta tester is still going through the final stages of the module, so I'm holding back from releasing for a few more days, which has also given me more of an opportunity to play through with Annex, Falis Goodmane and Shayla Shay. That's where I happen to be finding those last minute bugs but better that I find them now instead of a player down the road.

Catch the bind soon.
