In case folks have questions not addressed in the FAQ or other threads.

Congrats on getting a forum here.

When I asked originally, I was told that SHS did not want to sponsor anymore joke mods.

[Kaeloree]

Aurora's become far more than a joke mod... Which is why we agreed to hosting.

[AnnabelleRose]

I had also stated from the begining that it was not going to be just a joke mod.

I said there might be a few items that would be considered 'jokes' but they would have been 100% optional.

The only thing that really matters to me is that this mod will be finished.

If it and October get done, I might install the game one more time.

[Bookwyrme]

It will be finished The dialog is all written & much of it is coded, and the items are being made.

[theacefes]

How is this going?

[Bookwyrme]

Quite well, thanks

It's written & coded & the items are made.

Berelinde is working away at the voicing & Miloch is making super .bams

[theacefes]

Awesome! Keep up the great work!

[Bookwyrme]

Just a quick update here--that ominous beast known as Real Life seems to have swallowed Miloch, at least for the time being, so Aurora's release is somewhat delayed. Rest assured, however, that you will see the gossipy merchant in Athkatla at some point

[Miloch]

If you're still waiting for me, I guess I'll get cracking. I seem to have vanquished the dreadful RL beast for now, or at least am in a position to ignore it somewhat. Though I think we still need some testers for the non-BAM stuff...?

[Bookwyrme]

Hey! Welcome back! Glad to see Real Life hasn't swallowed you whole!

Yup, we've been waiting for your .bams!

I've run some tests on the coding--a couple of kinks to work out, but not too much--at least, not that I can see. The bigger beta (the one where everyone reading this thread volunteers for a test run ), after those errors are squished, will tell us more

[Bookwyrme]

Still going RL slows things down at odd and unexpected moments,* but we're getting there.

*So does ambition. We added two new merchants to run this from BG1 through TOB; neither of them talks as much as Aurora does, but we hope you'll enjoy them all the same.

[Miloch]

I'm finally done with school so development should speed up on this. It's almost done anyway... just cleaning up details which is always the most time consuming.

You'll find more than just boots in this mod too. Each of the three merchants has a mini-quest, and there are random items that'll change each time you play the game.

[Daulmakan]

Is there an ETA on this?

[Bookwyrme]

Sooner than before

[Miloch]

Yeah, as soon as Bookwyrme finishes the last few inventory icons it should be ready for testing. She's been really dragging her feet on those. Amazing how long it takes her to draw up a couple jars of jam. Unbelievable.

[Bookwyrme]

Speaking of jars of jam???

[Miloch]

They're fermenting. Or was that the wine?

[Bookwyrme]

No wine for you mister! Jam is all there is
