On the positive side is that I've got the first winter flu. My care for my employees has no limits :) so I stayed home keeping the viruses for myself and... worked on the module. Between the fever waves I was kind of productive. Soon, very soon I can make the first run through the module testing all puzzles and solve the whole game.
It's a big step, but I admire all module builder's who can make quests, traps, encouters and balance their modules. Zork I has very few evil monsters, no real plot, no side-quests and almost no NPC dialog. Not to mention henchies or companions. Zork I is puzzles, puzzles, exploring and more puzzles. I hope someone finds it fun to play even if it's as far away from roleplay or hack'n'slash as can be.
The module with it's 16 areas is now 212 mb large. To that comes the hak-pak and the music files and I've lot's more to come.
Thank you for reading, and please throw me a comment now and then - it makes me feel good. For a few days I'll allow Anonymous comments so go on!

Boo - your flu
Yay - you get to work more on the mod!
the custom painting i nthe background looks cool - have you done many?
Congratulations on your progress, and thank you for keeping us up to date. The progress of Neverwinter ZORK is what prompted me to pick up NWN2 in the first place!

I've done about 10 custom paintings with original Zork art. The scenes are taken from the books and pamphlets that came with the games. I suppose they could be used with any type of game setting, so later on I'll publish a pack on the vault.

Thanks alot! I hope NWN2 can give you some other entertainment while waiting for my work. There's alot of really good modules on the http://nwvault.ign.com.
Making a Zork I adaption was a much bigger taskt than I could think of, but it's getting closer every week.
