    Jonric from the Vault Networks was invited to Edmonton and BioWare, and he has written a report from his visit there.

    Thanks to developer BioWare and publisher Infogrames, I had made the trip to the friendly northern Alberta city for a look at Neverwinter Nights, the Dungeons & Dragons-based title we've been following with great interest ever since it was announced. During this time, we've had chances to see bits of the game on a few separate occasions - at two E3 trade shows, at BioWare on a previous trip and most recently at the Game Developers Conference last month. All of these instances had been very favourable, but with the game nearing completion, this time held the promise of seeing a lot more, including the Dungeon Master client for the first time, and of some actual hands-on playing time. There was no way a few inches of snow were going to deter me even slightly.

    The official presentations didn't start until Tuesday, which allowed some informal time to exchange greetings with a number of familiar faces and to see how BioWare has grown since my last visit almost two years ago. The company now numbers about 120 people of whom the majority, a little over 70, are currently allocated to the Neverwinter Nights team. The project is also large in terms of the amount of time it has taken. Co-Executive Producer Ray Muzyka was recently quoted as saying it had taken about 140 man-years, and some of the team, like Producer Trent Oster, have been working on it for approximately five years. While this extended development period has led to some questions, everyone at BioWare exudes a quiet confidence that the game will be the company's best yet. And after what I saw and heard, I wouldn't bet against them.

    There's more to read at RPG Vault.
