I am touched, honoured that you think so Jayce. I have come a long way, but there will always be further to go, because one does not ever really learn everything in one life time or even in several life times, hence why there is reincarnation, so that we get to live many lives, many times over, but never reaching the end. I would not want it to end personally, I like and love life and all of the experiences that goes with it and every other life too. It is okay, you do not need to believe in reincarnation, it is simply my own personal belief.

Wow! Thank you Jayce, I am almost practically speachless. I agree with you that no one is born bad or good it is the actions that we make and what we do with them that make us good or bad. I could have so easily turned real bad due to the way I had been treated by my parents, my teachers at school and other people in my life, which was quite badly there was one time when I ended up being bad, but not completely evil bad. I had begun hating people, the world and myself, in the end I fought it with everything that I had, it was a life lesson that I shall never forget and never repeat it. Oh there would have been no dual, I do not like fights,or people fighting, even with words, I always aim for a peaceful life and an a peaceful outcome in all that I say and do, it not always happens, but it never stops me from striving to be, not perfect, but just to be the best version of myself that I can be.

I am currently listening to Binaural beats from YouTube to help with my Tinnitus. If I did not have that I might be listening to something else, but I like most of all to compose my own music. I have a few music videos now on my YouTube channel if anyone is interested? Just let me know and I will give you a link to my YouTube Channel. I have mostly an eclective taste in music, other than punk, rap, country and western. My own music style is hard to explain what type of genre, it falls into. Personally I do not have one, as I do not think or feel it fits anywhere really, as odd as that maybe. PS. Dispite having Tinnitus, I was able to compose all of the music that I have done, for my music videos, making music is of a great importance to me and I wasn't going to let something like Tinnitus get in the way of me at least being able to play my keyboards/Synthesizers, but doing that takes every ounce of my concentration. I love listening to music, I just love being able to play music that just bit more, if you are not a music composer, not to worry, I do not expect you to understand that statement, but there is a real difference between listeing to a piece of music as to creating a music piece of your very own. Trust me when I tell you, that there is an actual dynamic difference.

Jayce, thank you for your reply it is much appreciated. I have a rough idea of how the Elite Seraphim may have replied to your quote, I have come across some people with superiority complexes before, and that is all that I pretty much have to go off really, it felt a bit awkward for me to put myself into character for even a short moment, to give the character that sense of a superiority complex, it felt so wrong and I am glad that I did not have to keep within character for far too long. Suffice as to say; I would be completely terrible at playing a bad charactor, if I were an actress, thankfully I am not, but I was very good at acting in all of my school plays. I honestly count myself lucky that I was never picked to play a bad person, I would have turned the part down in all honesty, I have a far too strong sense of goodness in me, I have pretty much always been that way, there was however, only ever; one time when I went bad, not completely bad, but it was a very dark moment for me and I am glad that I was able to over come that part of myself. So now you know a little bit about me and It was an honour for me to share that with you.

Jayce, the quote is not my personal view point, I am sorry if I gave that impression. It is the view point of the Elite Angel Character, being elite of anything I feel can make most, though not all, have a Superiority complex and that is so for this imagined Elite Seraphim Character and as such she obviously thinks and beleives that she can bend the rules for her own gain. My nature is truly the complete oposite of this character.

Shrunken Heads For The Dryad Sacred 2 I have been struck by an idea and it is just only that, but before getting into the idea, first let me go behind what brought this idea about. The shrunken heads are an oddity in the Sacred 2 game and not because they are actual shrunken heads or can be worn like an amulet etc. While I know that they are meant to be for certain enemy types, more so when using the Viperish Disease Combat Art, these heads are odd as in that they are dropped only, not only that for me personally for a shrunken head be enemy specific, weakest against it, while other enemies maybe effected, what if there are other and different enemies in the area you are fighting in, that the shrunken head has no effect at all, I almost had the idea to have the Dryad to be able to wear two different shrunken heads at a time, instead of just the one. While that may seem like a good idea, one thing struck me, that I could not help notice and I do not know if anyone here at Dark Matters has noticed it too, which is this. The Wings for the Seraphim and the Battery for the Temple Guardian not only can and do have slots, but they can be bought by a Merchant or from a Blacksmith. And that is when the idea hit me, why not have instead Shrunken heads that still go up in level, but also they appear in the order of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Niobe, these heads can come either with a modifier slot, or two, one modifier slot and one bronze, or silver or gold or as in some cases all slots, not counting the modifier one. The shrunken heads should be generic, because my idea is simple it’s by the level, say Level 10 the campaign level or free world, (Bronze Shrunken Head, Level 10) in which effects all and every type of enemy in the game, therefore it matters not if you use the Viperish Disease Combat Art at all and with it being strictly and only a shrunken head based type combat art, it makes me wonder if it is really worth having,, using my idea, probably not, leaving the Dryad free for a new and different combat art. Please no hating me for suggesting this or this idea as a whole, this is just purely an idea and nothing more, it for me on a personal note, would be really very handy to be able to have my shrunken heads idea as an item available to buy from the Merchant or the Blacksmith, I mean, think of the advantage of having one that has 3 slots, etc. Now you can’t tell me that such a thing wouldn't be beneficial. Additional! This idea is for the game on PC and should also be available for all the different console versions too, but it may be only possible to incorporate my idea into the PC game version only. Additional: The Combat Art or the Hireling will be renamed and although I did say for the shrunken heads to be generic, I realised I had left out the hireling, for the shrunken heads are various version of an old ancient myth of a Dryad Mage, who’s magic arts are so very completely different from the dryad herself, the heads will be different, but these unique combat arts built in, remain the same. Ancient Voo-Doo replaces the name for Moribund Animus I am so sorry about that, it just took me a little longer to figure out how that would change and would be like instead of ghostly versions of a wolf, spider, etc.

Wow! such compliments, I am most truly humbled and honoured Steve. I was worried that I may have messed things up somewhere, but beyond that, I am very happy and pleased with what I was able to accomplish in the time I had spent on doing it, I did not want to over complicate the layout, too much, just in case it wuld not work too well and the idea of numbering the chambers was for me I hope a real game changer, that one does not go to them in order of 1-3, which I feel would be the norm and usual standard rule/way of doing a D&D level, if I am not mistaken? Inspired by the Temple Guardians of Sacred 2 Game, came the idea for the Stone Robots, not mechanical etc. Complete stone robots that work by magic instead and they come to life the moment the player goes down the path, or at least that is the idea that was in my head and I am sticking with that idea. Phyiscal attacks do not affect them, so the player here in a sort of a tutorial like fashion learns how to use his or her combat arts/spells, as those are the only things that will destroy the stone robots, a new set of roots appear and remain frozen for the next player to come along. I hope you get the general idea? I knew that I would need to do either oner big river or several individual ones and I thought immediately of elemental rivers, hopefully that idea has not been used before, or not used often, I hope. But I do hope my idea to be a true original idea, that would be nice, I do not recall ever seeing or ever coming across elemental rivers in any other D&D RPG's. The idea behind each River Well, the long thin oblong shapes, that are filled with the corrisponding water to the river, empties, in a way that all of the water flows to and from each well to fill up the other well in a continious cycle, that way; the wells are never empty and it is how the rivers run, which I did not explain in my model discription, there is a character limit, not only that I did not want to bog anyone down with that particular concept, as it does boggle the mind, somewhat. Oh The Pyramid becomes a puzzle pryamid that can be turned around once you approach it and a magical barrier blocks your way until you solve the puzzle. Yet another thing I left out in the model description, but I will update my model with a link to here to this post, so that the people viewing the model can better fully appreciate the ideas behind it and understand better, what everything is for, I can only hope my ideas one day may be used to make into a computer game and what I have described can be rendered as I have described everything. As it would be a real shame if such a thing could not be done. Which I doubt, with the sophisiticated level of detail etc. these more newer games for PC and new consoles, are anything to go by. So I shall remian hopeful, this project for now is my last in dungeon level design, as I have done a fair amount of them already and as I have mentioned somewhere in one of my posts, I do not want that to be the only thing that I am good at making in SketchUp, as I have already proven, that I can make other things and that is what I want to be good at doing, making as many different models as possible, and not any model that follows a repetitive standard design. But one realy good thing has come from making this model project, it proves what I already knew, but I do sometimes doubt myself, why is a long story and has much to do with how I was brought up and also how I was treated by my teachers at school, suffice as to say, it's not all good. Which is part of why I stuck with Sketchup and worked so long and hard on knowing how to use it, etc. was so that I could prove not only to them, but also to myself, something that I could do and do more than just well, but to reach a standard of my very own. For near similar reasons is why I do not want to become good at doing only just the one thing. I have many gifts that need to be used in the right way and I try hard to make sure of that they are, though it's sometimes not always easy. Anyway, when I say I appreciate compliments given to me, I truly do beyond mention, that's all I can and will say about the matter, so know please how much any compliment given means so much to me in more ways than one, always.

Finally, it is here, the completed project. I went for a blance of near and far Elelements, which I hope works well? That one is for Steve, aka Hooyaah who encouraged me to do a dungeon level design with elements that are far apart from each other. Here are the list of the far away/far apart elements, Path Of The Stone Guardians (See Link discription) That's the line up of the stone robots as mentioned in my previous posts. The Ancient Pyramid & The Ancient Temple. The nearby elements are: The Magical & Elemental Rivers, Earth, Air, Fire & Water (Note, the Air river is a white water texture, courtesy of Google Images, as well as the other coloured rivers. Please see model view for a close up view) The River Chambers (x4) The level of this dungeon starts from the Path Of The Stone Guardians, with the chosen character for the game emerges from the Ancient Doorway, once emerged, you cannot go back the way you came, there is another ancient Doorway to navigate to, first visiting River Chamber No. 4, as odd as that seems, as there is a quest item in that chamber, there is a quest item in every chamber and area. The chambers are numbered as follows: River Chamber 1: Top Left, River Chamber 2: Top Right River Chamber 3: Bottom Left & River Chamber 4 (Bottom Right) This is all about twisting and changing a litttle the conventional rules/ways of a dungeon level, but hopefully, it still all makes perfect sense and it works? Then you pass through River Chamber No. 3 leading to River Chamber No. 1, with a long trip to River Chamber No. 2 and from there on in, its getting through the Ancient Temple, that will be filled with monsters, as well as the other locations will have montsers to fight first, before picking up each quest item. And lastly the 2nd Ancient Doorway leading to the next exciting level. Which is open to anyone with a 3D modeling software to expand upon, what I have already done, I will upload the Ancient Doorway model soon, as that is a must have object, please do not make a more better version of this, I like the design just the way that it is, with all due and sincere respects please. The Ancient Doorway is key to how you get from one dungeon level to the next, partly inspired by the doorways that were used in th old D&D Adventure Game Show. Nightmare, if anyone knows of it and has seen the show? Then yu will all know what I am refering to in terms of the portal/doorway that was used in the series to transport the player to and from each area of the areas they entered into to be challanged.

Thank you Steve, I am so happy that you appreciate the stone granite planks instead of wood and what tops it all off for me, is that it's as I have said, it's a repeless rope bridge, the arched stone blocks underneath the planks is what helps to hold up the bridge of stones. The idea came to me as actually from the fact of trying to do a wooden rope bridge, that was not going to work out and I said to myself, does it have to need to be a wooden rope bridge? or need ropes to hold it all together? Then I looked at the planks that I had made more carefully and it hit me, that I could do two semi arch ways underneath that stretches across to the middle of the brige and hold up one section of stone planks, while the other stone semi arch block holds up the other section of stone planks and I immeditely thought granite for some reason, I just thought the idea would be so cool and hoped that no one has had that kind of idea before. Yes, a lot of thought went into the textures, I tried to make them be as unique as possible, but some of of them I have used before, but they are the only ones that work well apart from the granite texture and a few other textures, the red stone blocks that support the columns is one of the new textures too.

So sorry for the delay of this post, but here it is, the 3rd and 4th stages of my dungeon level design. Azra-Za-Ha. Stage 3 I had decided to go for a ropeless rope bridge, made not out of wooden planks, but granite stone planks instead. I hope you like the concept? Asra-Za-Ha. Stage 4

Awww, why thank you Gogo, I am deeply touched and honoured by such a compliment, sorry you were heartbroken. YouTube does seem to change too often how it does things of late.

First and formost the name, how to say it, at least the way I feel it would be pronounced. Since it's a made up word, I doubt there is any actual right or wrong way of spelling or saying it. But as I said, I have a very clear idea and this I wish to share. As: (That one is fairly straight forward) Ra: as in the Egyptian God, though I do know that there is another way of spelling his name, but it's this one to get the Ah sound. Za: (you say the word Z and a as in apple;) and Ha, well, that needs no real explanation does it? Put it all together, the way I have typed it and you get. Asra-Za-Ha. I hope you all like the name so far. Stage one, I draw a shape from my grid and delete all of the unwanted parts of the grid, leaving me with the drawn shape. At stage one, it's not a lot to look at, but it's been colour coded to help to remind me what is what. Green. Land. Brown, Rope Bridge. Grey, stone blocks. I need to delete the lines of the land and turn everything all white, now that I know in my mind what is going to be what. Asra-Za-Ha. Stage 1 For stage 2, I pull up the shape of the land and everything else that needs to be pulled or pushed. After that I begin to build upon the land part, (bottom and biggest land shape) texture the whole land and what I built upon it and I already had designed a special something prior to making this. Bonus Image 1: Ancient Doorway Bonus Image 2: Ancient Stone Robot Asra-Za-Ha. Stage 2

Why thank you Dax, I appreciate the compliment. I may switch over to Opera, every time, Firefox reverts to default for reasons that make no sense to me, and when it does that all my bookmarks, passwords for websites, etc. all get erased, it's a good thing that I have made two word docs with all of my passwords and favourite websites, as a backup. but that is much besides the point, having to keep putting those things back in as well as the addons too, is simply so way annoying, my only concern, is I hope that the Opera Browser does not do the same thing.

Thank you Steve, much apreciated.

I am glad to hear that, I am only sorry to say that this video won't play for me as it's outside of my country and it's been blocked YouTub on copyright grounds by the film makers. Silly I know, but that's the way it is with film makers etc.

Why thank you for the compliment Dax, I still have my other sion dungeon levels yet to build and will share those here as well as doing one day, a stand alone grid map from an isometric view point like style dungeon level completely out of my own imagination, so yes, I have plenty things to build and share here.

I am glad that this room gives you that image gogo. I can only hope that it looks equally as grand as it's namesake? I made sure to make this room viberant with reds and gold.

Thank you so much Steve, you have instilled in me so, so much. I cannot simply thank you enough. I am always keeping mindful of the genre, like with my Doctor Who project, while it is reinventing the show, at the same time I am honoring the mythos in my reimagining of the Time Lords etc. I have kept still true to the origins, it just from an alternate and what I hope to be an interesting new perspective.
