| “Making music for a persistent world didn’t work, so I started modding” ~ Symphony |
- Symphony is one of the most prominent members of the Neverwinter Nights community, a programmer, a modder, and a member of the Advisory Board on Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. Check out his blog about making skyboxes in NWN:EE better.
- Symphony is trying to encourage other people doing modding, and according to him creating content for Neverwinter Nights is fairly easy. The NWN Toolset can be a little scary at the first look, but actually playing the game can help players to become experienced on how to work on the Toolset.
- Symphony agrees that “NWSync” is going to be the biggest change in Neverwinter Nights since Hordes of the Underdark. Everyone will get the same version of files needed to play on a server of your choice.
- We’ll be bringing more people from the community to talk to during our livestreams. Stay tuned!
