.... You leave a place for six months and many things can happen, and nothing can happen as well. This is MofoMojo. I have to apologies to any of the older fans that are still around, and any of the new ones that have come and gone, and to everyone who had some ownership in the direction of Belua Sanguinare. Mostly, that covers everyone.

I took a hiatus to study for my Certified Professional Photographers exam. It's a two part process, a written exam covering the practical knowledge you maintained in your head and a second part covering the submission of working images that would be reviewed by a jury of others to determine whether your technical knowledge and your use of it to capture on film light, in completely controllable situations was passable. All 15 images I submit must pass. In 1 fails, my entire submission fails. I am currently at that stage of my testing.

So I felt the only way to move on was....to move on. Today there are 41 messages in my mailbox. I haven't peeked at a one yet. Somewhat afraid, concerned that I'd have hurt some feelings the way I let things go as I did.

But something still gnaws at me. I still have ideas for how to make the experience of a vampire be more fluidity and autonomy with the way spells are executed. There should be less or smaller tweaks required of the user to achieve certain spells. For instance, going from a jump the user should be able to immediate turn into mist, or teleport without having to cast either of those two spells.

And of course there are still bugs to try and track down and identify. I can't say what or when it will happen but I've started to stretch my legs again. Dusted off the archives, re-configured steam and pulled up some old saves.

It felt like coming home.

Glad to hear you might be coming back to Belua Sanguinare, and good luck with your exam.

Loving this mod. I had a few suggestions but I understand if they don't mesh or you're too occupied.

- Shovels to dig a shallow grave
- Iron ingots to make coffin nails
- chopped wood to make coffin
- fresh blood to taint the ground the coffin goes in

Sort of a travel sleeping kit.

Would also like to be able to turn my spouse into one and have to jail someone in my house for the spouse to feed on or bring them vials of fresh blood. They could last for like 3 - 7 before I needed a new one and one day each per vial. I've seen a few NPC's shackled to the wall before. That's all that would be needed to add to a house for the jail part to work.

Is there a way to add coffins for homes? Like basic from wood, gilded from metal, and elegant with added gems? Each could have an increasing benefit depending on the model.

Glad you're back. Hope your certification goes through.

A suggestion of sorts, in case you are unaware, the newest version of SkyUI allows for other mod authors to create a configuration menu that is accessible through the normal game setting menu. I have no idea how much more it would complicate working on the next iteration of BSR, but maybe that would be an idea to more seamlessly allow the end user to customize her game.

Welcome back, mate!

I have been a fan of vampire lore and experience for many years. My passion for the lore is deep and your mod is an amazing piece of work. I'm always searching for that great vampire gameplay experience, and I was very sad to see that your mod was left untouched for so long. What a pleasant surprise to find that you have returned, and I'm already impressed with some of the changes you've been able to make.

Keep working hard and best of luck to your photography exam. And I hope you achieve everything you want to, both for this mod and in your life.

I would also like to welcome you back! I love your mod and am delighted that you have returned to continue it!

I, too, have returned after a long break from the game, and this was one of the first few mods I checked out to see how they were managing. Yup, still a fan.

Welcome back
