Since the beginning of time, the Rose Of Eternity has been in the mystical Garden Of Roses, tended to by the Keeper Of The Rose. It is said that the Keeper Of The Rose has the most beautiful singing voice, rivaled by none. She however does not sing for joy, but rather out of pain, for she is a prisoner in these gardens, forbidden to ever leave. Humanity is to blame for her misfortune, for as long as there is war and strife, she will be doomed to stay in the Garden Of Roses, and sing...

As she grows older, as petals fall off of the Rose Of Eternity, she continues to sing, in the hopes that mankind will change, but, they do not. As she begins to become an old woman, people pure of heart are born into the world. These people have the opportunity to change things, but alas, they make the wrong decisions, and the Keeper Of The Rose is left to her prison... And her singing...

As the age ends, she is born anew into the world again, hoping that mankind will change their ways. She has been going through this cycle for 4000 years. Will she ever be freed from her prison? In this life cycle, 6 unknowingly people will have the opportunity to make her wish come true.

Congrats on the completion of your project!

 

BTW, the video is blocked in my country because of potential music right infringements. If the GEMA will ever complete their negotations...?

[Challseus]

@Yara

 

Thanks for the congrats!

 

And so sorry you can't view the video, that's really annoying. Eventually, I'd like to get all my videos personally hosted on my website, so things like this won't happen. I'm far from it at the moment, so it's won't help you now, but know that it is something I'm thinking of.

 

In the interim, if you would like to watch it, PM me, and I'll send you a dropbox link.

I want to post in the style of a blockbuster movie trailer: something like "Written and directed by Leonard Bedner ... an epic adventure ... five years in the making ..." but then I don't really have anywhere to go so I'll just have to resort to wishing you the heartiest of hearty congratulations and say that I'm really looking forward to playing it.

 

@Yara the trailer is really super ultra awesome with extra sprinkles so make sure you see it!!

As you can imagine, it's been a long and hard road, and to be completely honest, I'm looking forward to hanging up the <insert whatever relates to Video Game Development> and attempting to have somewhat of a normal life... For at least a few months anyway

EDIT:

 

Hopefully you can see this latest video, Yara. Youtube does not show it blocked in any countries.

Congratulations!!

I just had a friend ask if this was NWN module so it might be an idea to clarify in the OP that this is an awesometastic standalone DA:O mod set in your RoE universe.

[luna1124]

 I was mistaken it was for NWN.

Actually, the same thing happened on another forum (RPGWatch), so that's a good idea. I've changed the post's title, as well as edited the OP to include that little nugget of info.

 I was mistaken it was for NWN.

Sorry!

Nexus will only allow zip files, not dazip. It makes no sense, but you have to re-zip the dazip to upload it.

Interesting...

 

So how do players load the games, then? I'm probably missing something here, but I assume DAUpdater doesn't allow zip files... Do I have to give explicit directions on where to extract each path?

 

Also, I wonder if I can just rename the .dazip to.zip, and that will be good enough...

 

EDIT

 

Nevermind my ramblings, I'm working on less sleep than normal... I just have to add the .dazip file to a .zip, and I'm good. Makes sense to me, thanks for the help!

[luna1124]

LOL^^ Yes, people (most of them) know they have to extract the dazip from the outer zip folder. I usually stick a ReadMe file in there too. I can't wait to try this. I'll keep watching to see when it can be downloaded. Thank you

[Challseus]

UPDATE #4

[Tchos]

Downloading this now.  Congratulations on the release, Challseus!

[luna1124]

Me too, downloading now.

[Sunjammer]

Yay!

Yay!

 

Thanks guys. I almost have my life back now

Couchpotato from RPGWatch has just posted an interview he did with me. It's the first one I've done in maybe 8 years, so it was quite fun for me. Also, because of the types of questions, it was a very long and interesting trip down nostalgia lane. In particular, lots of questions about my previous work with Ossian Studios. And as you can imagine, that led to me discussing the infamous debacle of Mysteries of Westgate being delayed forever after development was completed.

Also, in general, you may just happen to learn some things you never knew about me, how Rose of Eternity was conceived, and what I'm thinking about moving forward. So check it out!

[TimelordDC]

Congrats, Challseus on the successful completion and release of this third installment!

 

Its been a long, hard road I know (nearly 5 years of development!) but its awesome that its done and released! Good luck!

[Challseus]

Wow, somehow missed this post, but thanks, Timelord! I give you a shout out in the credits, mostly for your support, also your work on re-coloring trees. Good stuff!
