I have only a few remaining tasks to finish before I can upload it, but unfortunately my available time is still going to be very limited for the next few weeks. Hopefully when some of the smoke clears from my &#8220;real life,&#8221; I should be able to finally get it completed and online by the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>The very talented Estelindis has graciously offered to develop some high quality custom NWN head models for the Sanctum update. We&#8217;ve been collaborating for a few weeks now on how to get the look just right for the various characters, and the results are truly amazing (if I do say so myself). Robin (both genders) and Orion are basically done, and Diana is currently in development as well. <a title=\"Robin's New Head\" href=\"http:\/\/www.andarian.net\/Sanctum\/Images\/EscapeUnderground.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a link<\/a> to a screenshot featuring (female) Robin&#8217;s new head and the use of the Romantic Animations Suite. Este, thank you very much for your fantastic work on this!<\/p>\n<p>Although sworn to secrecy until recently, I can now also reveal that I&#8217;ve been a participant in the beta test for the Dragon Age Toolset since early this year &#8212; and I was invited to travel to Bioware HQ in Edmonton last week to participate in the Dragon Age Toolset Builder&#8217;s Event. I plan to blog at more length about that amazing experience when I have time &#8212; but for now, to see what it was all about check out the posts on the Bioware Blog <a title=\"Dragon Age Toolset: Builder Event II, p1\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.bioware.com\/2009\/07\/09\/dragon-age-toolset-builder-event-ii-p1\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and <a title=\"Dragon Age Toolset: Builder Event II, p2\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.bioware.com\/2009\/07\/10\/dragon-age-toolset-builder-event-ii-p2\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. I&#8217;ll only say for now that from what I&#8217;ve seen, the tools that Bioware is making available for Dragon Age are going to change the landscape of RPG modding. I&#8217;m very excited about it. Although I&#8217;m still committed to finishing &#8220;The Miracle Worker&#8221; in NWN1, I&#8217;m now giving serious consideration to completing Part III of the Sanctum Saga &#8212; The Alliance &#8212; in Dragon Age.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to everyone for your patience and interest!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>Andarian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the status of the Sanctum v3.2 update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7,13,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1-thesight","category-22-thequest","category-dragon-age","category-0-sanctumsaga"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=481"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":572,"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481\/revisions\/572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andarian.net\/TheSanctum\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
