July Anarchy is here

               Did you get D20 Modern working? It can get a bit tricky. I wish they had an automatic installer like the CEP team.

               I'm playing fine and enjoying it even more!
Well, 'gotta go, 'fighting my way against time... as I'm on a deadline... if you know what I'm talking about... 
Would you happen to have a code to remove this? 
Just trying, no offense... 
Great music and words by the way.
That's often the case with great modules.
**** 'wondering why...  ****

               The quest in Sector B will remove your timelimit. The mission itself is easy, the challenge is getting there and then deciding if what you need to sacrifice for it is worth it.

               A massive update to July Anarchy Prologue will be released in the near future. This update includes all-new gameplay mechanics such as the "Adrenaline Rush" ability, which is already a blast to play with even this early in testing. Adrenaline Rush has the player jumping into the fight not just to earn XP, but to build up Adrenaline. When the player reaches max adrenaline, it triggers an "Adrenaline Rush". The player gains godlike strength, fast regeneration and haste to stand against the game's most powerful enemies. The catch? Your Adrenaline levels drain quickly during a Rush, meaning the player must suddenly rack up as many kills in as little time as possible to maintain the Rush for as long as they can. Once you lose all Adrenaline, you're back to your old self, so tactics and resourcefulness will be a must to use this ability effectively.

A host of other improvements are on the way. There is now an official objective to slay all 3 dragons in the Epicenter area (doesn't count if allies kill the dragons). The strengths of enemies and allies are being recalibrated (enemies are actually more powerful to accommodate the Adrenaline system). Almost all generic enemies are being replaced with the module's modified enemies. Tweaked weapons, new potions, and the ever-present bug fixes.

This is most likely going to be the last time I update July Anarchy before putting all my energy into Static, so I want to make it count.

               Very good news, JM Scion. Your game being one of the most interesting modules brought to NWN life recently, it sures deserves some care and attention, hopfully around the storyline as well, not only around the future but the past of that messy haired kid.
I had a weird feeling about it, at the time, like it was unfinished at some point, no ending...?
Let us snow. I'd be very interested in playing it again. Even not being an H&S type of player.
That could be a dream to play such a futuristic module as a woman. A woman, the only future of mankind.
But I know also about the tremendious work to make it ever possible.

               Thanks for the vote of confidence jmlzemaggo. Though I hate to break it to you that, since this is a prologue, the story of this module is still going to feel unfinished. The main purpose of this Prologue module is to practice for the first chapter, so in time you'll still get to learn plenty about that messy-haired kid (semi-spoiler: His name is Eric Osme). Gameplay-wise, this version is going to be a big overhaul from the build you played.

Here's a breakdown of what's new in the next update so far:
- Adrenaline system
- 5 new music tracks
- Alternate ending
- New secret objective
- More spoken dialog
- Rebalanced allies and enemies (Nomads no longer slaughter everything in sight)
- Statistics system lets you see your kills, score, assists, etc.
- Improved supply boxes
- Improved AI (Wounded soldiers now try to retreat, better response to commands)
- Loads of bugfixes

And of course I'm open to any suggestions or requests.

               Just put together a video demo of the new Adrenaline System in action. This is a completely new gameplay mechanic to NWN, challenging you to play the game with a whole new level of speed and tactics. Check the video here or visit Cocytus Games.

               July Anarchy Prologue now has a MODDB page. This is where I'll be able to post updates on the new version more consistently.

               July Anarchy Prologue version 1.2 is done and is awaiting authorization at MODDB.com. I am in the process of splitting files to be uploaded to NWVault.com and they should be available later tonight. This is a major overhaul of the mod with a second possible ending and new gameplay mechanics. Give it a shot and give me your thoughts on the changes.

Also, July Anarchy Prologue will be the first single-player NWN mod to feature an online leaderboard, hosted on the MODDB page. Stay tuned for details.
