Funny how this my first visit back in over half a year and THIS is the most recent forum topic! <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: -->
Anyways Necromancer, to answer your question I haven't even touched Dark Realms in over two years. I do remember playing with the idea of having five hubs but then I trimmed it down to four (something about the plot making more sense that way). Though life takes turns and I never did finish that final hub. To be honest I don't think I ever will. The Hexen community has almost completely died out (in fact, I think it's only us who remain <!-- s8-[ --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="8-[" title="Anxious" /><!-- s8-[ -->). Also the plans that I originally had for it were just way too advanced for my capabilities all by myself, and I've never enjoyed downsizing my ambitions in the name of being "realistic" so the thing just never got done. In another words a lot of different issues made me lose interest in finishing it, which is sad but things happen.
That said, Necromancer, I am happy that you are still interested in this little project, so if you are determined to see it finished, then I have a proposition for you: how would you like to be the new Dark Realms coordinator? <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> What I'm suggesting is, you could take charge of finishing the project, and I can guide you and mentor at any step along the way. You can either be creative and script the entire hub with your own unique ideas, OR I can send you all the old blueprints that I have (rough drafts of the fourth hub, txt documents outlining the plot and ACS, etc) and you can work from there to bring my original plans to life. I don't have any time or energy to finish the project so I'm afraid if you want to see it done, this is the only way - but I will help you as much as I can: recommending various programs, mapping details, etc. I am very curious to see how far this could go. And I can tell you one thing, I've always enjoyed watching other people take my own work and do something original with it, so I would definitely be a happy man if you chose to do it. What do you say? <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc9.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
