Hey, really interesting mod! I haven't gotten a chance to actually play it yet, but I've been following it for a while. It looks awesome! I checked out your script idea for it, and while I like where you're going with it I feel like a lot of your dialogue choices don't fit with the setting... What I'm saying is, I'd really like to get involved with this mod, and if you'd like, I'd be interested in editing your script. I would like to keep the original intent of it, of course, but I would just like to change some of the wording choices. Once again, great work on this mod, and keep it up!
A German video about the landscape of Lykaon in the Redkit editor (footage starts at 2.00min):
One thing I have to mention is that a lot of the dialogue I presented in the demo and some videos was placeholder dialogue. One example people often told me is that Geralt would never say "I shall make reference to you in my newest tale of glory!" - which is a sentence I wrote for Dandelion, but at the time when I implemented the dialogue, I hadn't fully figured out how to make him a companion - in the new version, I finally gave him all the "Dandelion dialogue".
And apart from that I know that I am no Sapkowski or as good as the story writers of CDPR, but I am doing the mod for fun. Please don't think I want to complain about what you wrote, but I got mails like this quite often and your post gave me the opportunity to explain myself.
Thanks for the offer and your interest! I don't know which script idea you mean and why you don't think it fits "the setting", but quite honestly writing the dialogue and the story is the main fun part for me, so I would not like to give that up, despite the fact that I am not a well-versed author who speaks English as a first language.

I was asked to do this video, because people were interested in how I build my level. I decided to share this video of about 10min.
Thanks for the reply! I was really not asking to entirely rewrite your script, I just thought I could "spruce it up", make it more "Sapkowski-esque", if you will. However, as I read your post it occured to that as an American who only speaks English, and has only read the books in English, I don't actually know how Sapkowski's writing sounds in Polish. I respect your feelings, and I understand that I wouldn't want some stranger tampering with my writing either.
That's.... uhhh... I.....A sunny day in Lykaon
G...good luck with Lykaon, Benzen.
I see Geralt couldn't stand the sight hahaha. Got to say though... the guy has some very angular buttocks : ]A sunny day in Lykaon
Haha, that one should be a "slightly amused" smiley. :cheers:
Glad you chose to use a still picture to show them off
Jokes aside, they look quite lovely, awesome work!
@Benzenzimmern , I summon thee ! *clubs a baby seal inmidst a magical circle*
...just wanted to tell you that I watched your Redkit Level Design video and that I think you have a talent
for creating natural and interesting environments.
Using the Redkit itself looks rather simple, but it comes across as a very powerful design tool. I like it.
I'll definately play around with it a little.
Oh and... can't wait to see those clouds in motion, keep us updated !
Thank you, that's very kind.
Before I show the clouds in motion, I want to show a first glimpse of the castle of Lykaon. Its countless corridors and chambers will play an important role in one of the main quests in which Lykaon will finally live up to its name.
From far away:
The Castle

I already found one.
Using original speech has one problem: I've got a lot of dialogue for Lykaon, but the chance that there are sentences similar to what I want to say in all these dialogues is veeery slim.
