Playable scenarios have mixed styles: rpg, ff, b&d
Playable scenarios contain many cinematic parts
All cinematics are very detailed
Maps are very detailed and have personalized location features (some of you call this eyecandy I just call it detailed)
Rpg scenarios contain *"simple" puzzles and *"simple" interaction (like bying stuff, choosing turning points, talk, etc.*At least: In my point of view they are simple
Some scenarios contain weather conditions
The sound/dialoque tracks are based on Leitmotifs just as the original opera.
A nice story line. Links to the next parts of this tale (The valkyries, Siegfried and the twillight of the gods) are embedded in the storyline.
For the techlovers amongst you: Campaign contains some nice trigger work (I lost count on how many but who cares...)
For the lazy guys or the once who do not like rpg games i will write a walktrhough so they won't have to use cheatcodes (and miss some nice parts and/or story pieces of the game)
Well a lot more of stuff which you have find out yourself.

This is one of the Campaigns i'm waiting

Just a question: Isn't it in the game "nibelung ring"? Or nibelungem is another thing?

--- Twelve encarnations of evil attacked Earth in the last 12000 years. The elves have foreseen that another one will do the same. Tahattus is the 13� encarnation of evil, the last one, and battling against him will change all the rules about the things... --- Zumas Po�ticas, 2300 B. C.

Thanx for the reaction Tahattus,

Well after my researched on the Nibelungen and the opera I found that it has many versions which all have the same ingredients (That's the problem with old tales.) Wagners operas are also an adaptation and a mix of tales on the "original" tale which is called "Das Nibelungen Lied" (Nibelungen song).As for the names Nibelungen ring or just Nibelung ring, well it's used both so I picked one...Lol (the German one that is) But this counts also for all the other names in the tale (there are a lot of versions of them also).

If you mean wheter the rpg game "Ring" and its follow up is based on the same opera..the answer is yes

Hope this answers your question.
Best regards,
The Vandhaal

post is updated I have added some small publication images and short descriptions of the other 3 parts from this tale to my website (see above) Furthermore i have added a small picture from the old manuscript of the Nibelungen lied to the artwork sector of my website...when you are in the neighbourhood just check them out.

Playtesting is going well (after I had some troubles with the progress campaign triggers).

If you have any questions..don't hesitate to ask!

That's it for now.

POST IS UPDATED

Yes yes I know I said I wouldn't make any major changes..but sometimes I have to take a break from testing (it can be really boring)..so in the middle of my final testings I made a small ff scenario....

....other tests are still running smooth.

UPDATE

Ok here follows a short update on the progress.

I have skipped the extra ff scenario..what should be a short/ simple/ fun thing to create and play turned out into a nightmare for me to make....
The extra scenario was at 95% but it kept crashing the game after hours of troubleshooting I had enough of it..(read my adventures on this short scenario in the "have a question thread..").

As for the testing:
I have just finsihed round 1..it went well...So round 2 will follow soon I will proceed after I have charged myself again

That's all for now
Best regards,
The Vandhaal
