A. DESIGNER'S NOTE

The creation of the world of "Rose of Eternity" started back in April of 1999. Back then, I was a naive, fresh faced 19 year old with a dream. I didn't know how I was going to get there, or if I ever would, but the dream was to create my very own RPG. I would eventually discover the Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset 5 years later, and begin to transform my dream into a reality. 10 years later, after the production of many RPG's (both my own, as well as contract work), I am ready to release the latest game in the "Rose of Eternity" series, "Family & Country".

If you are new to the series and haven't played my previous games, "The Coming" or "Cry The Beloved", there are some things to keep in mind:

- as stated above, this game world is my own. Yes, I'm using the Dragon Age engine, but that's where the similarities end. From the various custom systems, to the re-workings of the core combat system, players should go into this game looking at it from the perspective that they're playing a fully fledged new RPG.

- because of the nature of the story I want to tell, as well as due to limited resources, this game uses a predefined character. Story reasons aside, as the sole designer of this project, I like to inject as much creativity into the game as possible, and that really comes across in the various custom combat systems, such as "Last Resorts", "Unison Abilities", "Bonds of Battle", etc. It's much easier for me to do this with a predefined character, since I only have to worry about that character. If I started introducing other character classes, as a designer, it would become a nightmare to try to keep up the same quality with all the different classes. Also, combat balance would become that much harder. It's for these reasons that 10 years ago, I decided I would scale things back and focus on one predefined character per game, so I could deliver the highest quality experience possible, instead of spreading myself too thin.

If you heed my word on these 2 key items, it should help you enjoy the game more, instead of trying to fit it into some sort of predefined "Dragon Age" experience constraint.

D. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Installing_Dragon_Age_mods

***IMPORTANT***

1) The downloaded file is a .rar, but contained in it is the .dazip file, that needs to be used to extract all the files.

2) As this is a standalone game having nothing to do with the world of Dragon Age, as well as the fact that substantial changes have been made to the core ruleset, all other mods should be deactivated/saved/backed up.

3) This game installs the following 2 files to "My Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override/rose_of_eternity_family_and_country":

- ability_core.nss
- ability_core.ncs

And the following 13 folders to "My Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/data":

- 1007_d
- 1007_n
- 1013
- 2000
- 2002
- 2003
- 3000
- 3001
- 4001
- 4002
- 6000
- 8000
- test_e2

Along with making sure all other mods are deactivated/saved/backed up, you should make sure that none of these above files conflict with anything else on your system.

4) Due to how the game was originally created, the folder under Addins will be named, "Sandbox". I am currently looking into ways to change this internal name to something more fitting. However, you will still see "Rose of Eternity - Family & Country" in the normal Dragon Age menus.

E. BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF STORY

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. However, she 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 unknowing people will have the opportunity to make her wish come true...

F. GENERAL TIPS

Custom Music

- due to the implementation of custom music in this game, it's played through sound objects, and not normal music objects. Add in the fact that there are some DAO specific music tracks that play that cannot be disabled (i.e. level up music), I recommend disabling music in the sound options.

Talking To Party Members

- you can stop and talk to party members at any time, and as the adventure continues, they will have more to say. So don't forget to talk to them!

Party Member Tactics/Behaviors

- all party members start with custom tactics/behaviors. These have been optimized around their custom talents/spells.

================

G. KNOWN ISSUES

- There will be a point where you meet someone, and their head may or may not appear. If this happens, save the game, reload, and all should be well. I am currently looking into the reason(s) as to why this is happening.

================

H. REPORTING ISSUES/FEEDBACK

- for defects/enhancements, please use the dedicated threads on the download page
- for feedback, normal posts in the comment section is fine
- if you need to reach out to me personally, my email address is [email protected]. Just make sure to include "Rose of Eternity" in the subject line so it gets filtered to the correct directory.

I. FAQ

- WHAT HAPPENED TO "ROSE OF ETERNITY - THE LAST PETAL"?

I should probably start off with what happened when I finished development of "Rose of Eternity - Cry The Beloved". Literally right after I released it in late 2006, pre-production on Ossian Studios' Neverwinter Nights 2 Adventure Pack, "Mysteries of Westgate" began. I had not used the NWN2 toolset up to that point, so I spent that time learning the ins and outs of it. After that, the first 9 months of 2007 were spent developing MOW.

As September of 2007 was rolling around, I realized that I had spent the last 3 1/2 years of my life building moduless non-stop. I went from 15 months of development for "Rose of Eternity - The Coming" (starting in April of 2004), to 15 months of development for "Rose of Eternity - Cry The Beloved" (starting in July of 2005), to 9 months of development for "Mysteries of Westgate" with little to no break. And I was working full time.

So, while I had intentions on starting development of "Rose of Eternity - The Last Petal", I was just too damn exhausted to do it. But believe me, I wanted to. Everytime I see the ending credits to "Cry The Beloved", and see the part where it says "The Last Petal - Coming Soon", I wince in pain... On the flip side, my fiance (now wife) was very happy during this lull in development :)

- WHY IS THIS NEXT GAME TAKING PLACE 20 YEARS LATER?

I just want to make a quick point on the timeline of things. Ever since I began writing this story, there was always going to be events that take place 20 years down the line. In fact, originally, the entire first game was to encompass all the events prior to the jump in the timeline. Obviously, I decided to break that game into smaller pieces (i.e. The Coming, Cry The Beloved, etc.).

Anyway, once I started to evaluate making "The Last Petal" with a new toolset, it just didn't make sense, because of some of the following things:

1) Can't import character/variables from NWN -> DA
2) Custom content from NWN isn't available in DA as of yet
3) I wouldn't expect anyone new to the series to go back to NWN1 and play the old modules to get caught up in the story
4) Re-doing "The Coming" and "Cry The Beloved" with DA isn't too appealing, because of the custom content issue

There are many other smaller, technical reasons. As much as it pains me, I just can't do it. And I'm not going back to NWN at this point. It's been too long, and I really LOVE what can be done with the DA toolset.

Now, even though this game is taking place 20 years later, everything will be at once recognizable to anyone who has played the earlier games. It is the same story arch, you will see/interact/party with many of the same characters, and it will still have the same "Rose of Eternity" style to it, with regards to all the custom systems. Anyone new to the series will not be totally lost as to what is going on. People who aren't new to the series will pick up on all the little things I am sprinkling in for nostalgia sake. Making sure to have something for these players is definitely a top priority.

In fact though, the only real difference will be the perspective from which you experience the game.

As for the events of "The Last Petal", the story of this game will handle them appropriately.

- WHY DID IT TAKE 4+ YEARS TO DEVELOP THIS GAME, WHEN YOUR LAST 2 GAMES TOOK 15 MONTHS EACH?

I'll likely cover this in great detail in an upcoming post-mortem, but I'd break it down like so:

1) When NWN2 came out, leader of the famed NWN group, DLA, Steelwind made a bold prediction (paraphrased): "Gone are the days of the single modder project". This was 2006. 8 years later, he was more or less correct. Obviously, a lot of projects ended up getting created for NWN2, but no where near the number as NWN. This dipped even lower with the transition from NWN2 -> DA.

What it all comes down to is the simple fact that things that took a miniscule amount of time to do in NWN take much longer in Dragon Age. From my perspective, the biggest of these is the level design. In NWN, both interior/exterior levels used a themed, tile based system. Wanted to make a forest? Look for the forest theme, and boom, half the work is done. From there, all you had to do was use the prefabs available to that particular theme (trees, hills, streams, etc.), place them how you wanted to, and you were done. I can fondly remember designing a full level in a day. This included adding many custom props and such from the Community Expansion Pack (CEP).

Now let's look at level design for DA, more specifically, exteriors. Gone are the tiles. In its place is a terrain painting system, where you have much more flexibility on how to make your level. However, with that flexibility comes tedius, painstaking work. A level that would maybe take a day to make turns into a 30 day project in itself.

The final nail in the coffin is that I'm not a level designer. More specifically, that's not where my talents lie.

2) When I started work on "The Coming", I was 23 years old. Sure, I had a girlfriend of 5 years at that point, but I still lived at home, and hadn't even graduated college yet. My responsibilities, were, to say the least, lacking. This was the perfect breeding ground for a young kid to try to make his dreams come true. When that game was released in July of 2005, I was about 9 months into my career as a software engineer, but that was really the only thing that had changed. Plus, with all of the feedback I received from "The Coming", I didn't give it a 2nd thought when I started work on "Cry The Beloved" a mere days after "The Coming" was released. I'm still only 24 at this point... I would eventually finish "Cry The Beloved" in October of 2006, at the age of 26. I was burnt out. I really cannot put into words what that entire experience did to me. Sure, I created what I still think was my magnus opus, but it came at the expense of my health, my relationships, and my sanity.

So now let's look at development for "Family & Country". I'm now 29, about to start a new job (only the 2nd of my career), and I'm to be married in a few months. But in my head, I'm thinking, "It's been so many years since I've done this, I HAVE to do it. I owe the fans that much! How hard could this be? I've been there, done that". And then reality starts to sit in. I don't want to spend all of my time doing game development. I've gotten used to live on the outside, and it's pretty nice. I'm now a gym rat, and that take precedence over many things. I love to go on hikes and rock climb. I've been catching up on a lot of video games I haven't played in years, and damn, it's fun.

The most important bit is that I don't want to get burnt out again. I don't want to relive that terrible, emotional part of my life again...

...So I don't push so hard at first. It's not a big deal if the game slips to 2011, right? Oh, it's 2012 now? Oh well, it is what it is. But now, I'm starting into a vicious cycle. If I don't push so hard on the game, I won't get as stressed. But I'm getting stressed that the game isn't out. So I push harder. Then I get stressed.

Then, Ossian Studios pops up out of the blue requesting help on an iOS game. Sure, why not, I could use the experience learning the Unity engine. It's a lot to take on, but screw it, it will reward me in the long run. So now "Rose of Eternity" is coming 3rd in my life.

Now I'm starting to get stressed from work. The pay is excellent, the best I've ever been paid (and much more than I ever thought I would make). But you know the saying, more money, more problems? Work obviously comes first, then the iOS game comes next, because I've signed a contract and all that. Understandable...

I could go on and on, but the fact of the matter is, there has always been something that takes me away from the game, versus 2004-2006, where God himself couldn't rip me from my laptop. I don't know... I guess shit's easier when you're young, haven't been there before, and you don't have much stuff going on in life?

*Shrug*

I think the biggest take away from this should be that I'm one person doing a lot of the heavy lifting in between, well, life. Don't cry for me, because life could be much worse, even still, it is what it is. There's no other way to put it. Game development without a dedicated team is a long and arduous process.

However, I told myself that I would never start a project and not finish, so, here we are, 4+ years later.
