    I should have chosen a shorter story ;)
    Deleted and started over on some of the large maps from scratch. Everything is starting to assemble quite nicely. The 3rd optional quest line has been removed due to limitations to the programing aloud. Found a work around, but it would be too easy for something to go wrong.

    A few new characters have been added to help the story line go more smoothly.

    Terror: Realizing that you just clicked on the [Delete X] on the top right corner of the screen on a map you just worked on for 3 days straight, instead of the close button…

    Had to take some time off from editing, last weekend was a 3 day solid grind getting the 2 rooms (1 hallway, and 1 room) boss map completed.

    That makes 2 out of 13 maps complete with the exception of dialog. I’ll work on the script for that later, placeholder text and foot notes will have to do for now…

    Status post updated, more screen shots to follow tonight

    I've been going round and round with the Earth Map, getting it to translate well from the original story line into the foundry has been near impossible unfortunately…

    So I’ve decided to go a different route entirely, I’m going to put the switch right at the zone in… the only objective I’m going to put into the foundry for that map is the flip that one and only switch…

    But since it’s going to be locked, the entire map will be dynamic with 3 different endings to chose from… no additional objectives will be used…

    Wish me luck… I’m going to need it ;)

    Be wary of those you trust while doing so, there are dark forces that would do anything to obtain what your employer with questionable origins is trying to create...

    who's->whose
    plains->planes
    Travel->travel
    with questionable origins->of questionable origins

    The first paragraph is one overlong sentence, it would be better to rewrite it as two or three.

    (Why the heck does this forum software convert valid characters into something it won't accept when quoting? I had to re-write this twice because the apostrophe and ellipsis in the quote both caused the trailing part of the post to be chopped off... and they were fine in the original post, or when I enter them directly.)

    Thanks for all the corrections, I'm the world's worst speller.

    Good Luck! Tho, I don't believe in luck. Instead Through hard work and some consistency. Mixed with patience you will get it done. You have a vision keep going.

    Thank you for the support, I'm doing my best not to get burned out on it. it's big enough to break it apart in 3-4 quests, but none of it would make any sense if I did.

    The final area can no longer be edited in 2D mode anymore, too much going on for the grand finally

    Any chance you could update your progress post?
    Neverwinter players are stubborn things....until you strip them down to bone. (Cursed players, my flowers, MINE!) Oh how I plotted their demise.

    I'll be back after the weekend. I had to delete the Earth map and start over.
    Everything was going great until I ran out of NPC slots towards the end of the second ending. Going to put this method on the back burner for another quest, I just want to be done with working on this one.
