NWN Module Profile

BioWare’s community manager, Jay Watamaniuk, has written a profile of the module entitled The Spires of Ravenloft, which is based upon the pen & paper Ravenloft module by Tracy & Laura Hickman. In addition to the profile, there’s also an interview with the module’s creator. A snippet:

Q: I noticed you used light to establish mood in many of your areas. Do you have any tips for module makers on using light to add to the atmosphere?

A: I wish I did. I just did what came naturally. Some of the areas are strictly lit by way of basic defaults like “Exterior Dark”. Fortunately for my project, Barovia is shrouded in constant darkness so I could plan the look only for night and not worry about what it might look like during the day.

Really, use the preview buttons in the toolset religiously and listen to your play testers.
