So I was told by a judge that I ought to post the brainstorming files I wrote in the course of making five Iron Mods.  (And here I was thinking I'm one of the most disorganized people around. :) )

So anyways, here's the one for #2.  I didn't do one for #1.

I thought about what to add, then when that was decided, investigated the files I'd need to change, with filenames and triggers and stuff listed.  Then I went and did the dialogue in one fell swoop.

That's a helluva lot more organised than mine. :)

#3 was done in a hurry, since I only managed to connect with about two hours left into the competition.

Now that I look at the file, only the first paragraph was done.  Didn't have time to add the curse or the other bits.  The curse just set movement rate to 0, as I recall.  All in all, a poorly made mod. :)

#4 looks like I basically spent all my time writing the brainstorm thing than I did making the mod.

A good example of being WAY too ambitious.

Now we have #5.  I honestly thought I had this one in the bag, if it weren't for a minute little bug that made the mod entirely unplayable.

OR HAVE I?















Your IM5 brief looks pretty smart, btw - will have to try it out. :)

Oh yeah, I should probably mention that there are spoilers in these brainstorm files.
