BloodSpell, a full-length machinima film built with the Neverwinter Nights engine, recently released the first few installments to the public! We speak with Hugh Hancock, the Artistic Director of Strange Company who heads up the massive BloodSpell project.

Are there any news on when / how they will release the tools (especially the Lipsync)? That could really make NWN a hot property for making machinima... and would be a great addition to the "double ruby" edition (or whaterver the next one will be called  )

We're intending to release TOGLFace (the lipsynch tool)... soon. It very much depends on when we get a window of time large enough to prepare it.
Likewise for our other tools, including our camera tools, although they'd be easier to package up and release.

Very good. Neverwinter Nights is beginning to show its age, and if this project is one that will last for a long time I'm wondering if it'll be progressed to the NWN2 engine, but as it is it's managed to make good use of what NWN is capable of.
Interesting story, good animation, and blue-haired tieflings in bikinis. What's not to like? |

We're in heated discussion about what engine we'll use for a sequel, if we do one - NWN2 is certainly the front-runner.
