I've been a little busy since that last post

I feel kind of bad about getting this devgamer blog started and not keeping up with it. I mostly blame it on the fact that I've been working on the Echoes of Faydwer expansion.

For those who want to know what I worked on in regards to the expansion, I did the following:

1. I populated the Mistmoore Catacombs, itemized it, added quests to it, and went through several iterations of the zone geometry before I could settle on creature placement and pathing.

2. I wrote and implemented the entire Rallos Zek deity quest line. This was an adventure because I had to do quite a bit of scripting for this thing, which I am not entirely stellar at.

3. I wrote and implemented the Flowing Cape of the Dark Lord signature quest line.

4. I wrote and implemented the Eitholi Blade of the Fae signature quest line.

5. I did Nursery starting Fae newbie population.

All of this content is fine and dandy to keep a grown designer nice and busy, but to top it all off I did something else crazy during the development of EOF.

I got engaged, planned a wedding, and got married. In fact, I just got married on October 21st, so I had to get all of my work done well before that date (which didn't happen, I needed the help of Jason Huck aka Ear Locust to do the last of my items for me) go and a honeymoon, come back to work 2 weeks before launch and get this sucker outta here.

Sorry I haven't had time to post. =)

I do have things on my mind so here comes some more.

Well hey man! Let me be the first blogger to say congrats on getting married! That's fantastic! =)

I'm looking forward to getting a new Fae started on live myself and having some fun! So I'll be able to check out SOME of the fruits of your labor, but sadly, I think Mistmoore is quite a ways off for me (even my main char is only L28, and I created him on launch day! Hey, I'm busy too! LOL!)

Anyways, things will calm down really soon then you can breathe and really take the time to ENJOY life a bit without juggling thirty things.. at least, until the next crunch season! =)
