We have a nice team of people working on this project but we are always looking for more. If this looks like a project that you would enjoy working on please contact me and we will find a way in which you could help.
First I would like to let everyone know that we now have a Twitter page which we will be posting most of our updates on. So come support and follow us on our Twitter page. https://twitter.com/NwnDarkSun
Second "Nairn" has joined our team taking on the role of lead scripter. This is very exciting for us because scripting was really our weakest area up to now. So we have now started working on all the core scripts to bring everything together.
Mekillots - are large creatures that pull very large caravan wagons on Athas (Dark Sun)
“Mekillots are mighty lizards weighing up to six-tons, with huge, mound-shaped bodies as long as 30 feet. Their backs and heads are covered with a thick shell that serves as both a sunshade and protec- tion from attacks by other large creatures.”
We wanted to create a mekillot that looked really cool why trying to stick with Brom’s art.
So we needed
- A large lizard creature
- Short leggs
- A hard shell that covered most of the body
- The shell needed to be a dome (mound-shaped) like shape
- A hard shell that covered the head
- The front and back legs needed to be the same heights-then
Now I’m not saying that our Mekillot matches Brom’s art work, however I really feel that we got the over all look while creating a massive creature that looks amazing in the game.
We have a nice core team but we are always looking for more people would would like to work a long side us and help to bring this world to life.

- A hard shell that covered the head
- The front and back legs needed to be the same heights-then
If you or anyone you know might be interested just let me know.
Now that the Mekillots are in the game. I have started creating a 3D Caravan model (using Blender) for the Mekillots to pull. I still have a lot of work to do to this caravan before it will be ready to put in the game, but I really liked how it was turning out so I thought I would share with everyone how it looks so far
We currently have a nice core group of people working together over Discord sharing screenshots, files, ideas, helping each other, and just chatting all while bring Athas (Dark Sun) to life using NWN. If you or anyone you know would enjoy helping with this project in one way or another even if its only a few hours a month then just get in touch with me.

if you want to keep up with everything we are doing.
Tonden, just wanted to chime in to say that I think your progress is amazing. I saw this last year or so after the EE was released and I wanted to see what others were doing with the game in 2018. I can't wait to see how you all continue with it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Thomasw we have a really nice core team of people working on this project. We now have people working in just about every area now.
- Scripting which was the one area we were really lacking in, but now we have the help that we needed, so I'm really excited to see what all we are able to do going forward.
- 2da work which is nice to see someone pick up this role and start hacking through all the things that need changing for this project to be more like Dark Sun and less like Forgotten Realms.
- Writers what can I say we have a lot of writers which is just wonderful. Now over time we will see how many of them complete full adventures / stories for our project.
- 3D model creators we have a solid 6 Model creators on our team with a few others looking to help as well.
Now all that said some people only have a few hours a week or may be even only a few hours each month to put into the project while others of us are working on the project just about everyday. However any and all help is better then no help at all. So because of that this project is really moving forward.
So again if anyone would like to help with this project just let me know and we will get you on the team and see how you may be able to help.

Just let me know if you would like to join our team and help to bring the world of Athas (Dark Sun) to life as a 3D video game using NWN.
Your jungle looks very cool. I would suggest adding a .txi to your foliage textures to set the blending to punchthrough. That will take care of a good deal of the alpha channel weirdness.

@Tonden I might be interested in writing. How would I get on your Discord server?
How far along is this project? I'm excited to see some Dark Sun come to PC again. I played the old games that are on GoG, but they haven't aged well. NWN will be a great place for it.
Is this going to be a module or a persistent world?
Hi there @themazingness all I can tell you is that we have a group of people working on it in there free time after work and or school. However we have lots of things to create to not only change NWN (Forgotten Realms ) to look like Dark Sun but to make the game look even better then it currently does. There for a ton of work is being put into this project.
I will send you a Discord invite and you could join our other writers.
