True Colours Of A Hero (Neverwinter Nights Conversion)

The project began as a showcase for my abilities, comprising hugely complex scripted subsystems (crafting, spell systems, class feats, AI etc.), level design, story writing, sound design / music composition as well as basic modelling and texture work.
A selection of musical pieces from the project were chosen to be part of the Community Music Pack, and were later nominated for Best Sound / Music in the AME Golden Dragon Awards (2006 and 2007).
