The campaign progress is going slowly, mostly because I want it to be carefully made and with all (or at least most) bugs fixed. Terrain for mission 1 is complete, as well as all relating to aesthetics. I'm now working on the triggers and dialogues. Music tracks have been choose for this map. I've begun work on the mod as well. Portraits haven't been chosen yet.

Help is appreciated, but I want the campaign to interfere the less possible with SC lore (maybe some references are made, but nothing big). However, I'll need help for beta testing (but not many, only a few. If possible, experienced SC players) as well as triggering advicing (specially for boss battles, etc) and also grammar/spelling checking (I improved my English, but it doesn't mean it's perfect. duh :p).

I'm also considering to have my campaign voiced. Unfortunately, I don't have the necessary toggles to do it myself, so it's possible I've to ask other people (and I've to ask Meta's permission for something before do anything, too).

Cheers!

All of the Dark Swarm sounds were recorded with a built-in-notebookmonitor microphone and they sounded OK for me.

Reason I'm saying this is most people 'just want their campaigns to be voiced' and start asking people to do it for them, but they don't realize is that it's much easier to do it yourself once you get the hang of it.

And the reply to Legion was because I don't want Laconious to get anymore points than he's already going to get (joke).

Since there were so many similarities between this campaign and VE, and there has been many Protoss campaigns lately, the player race will be changed to Terran. Mission 1 Script is almost done, and I'm working on the terrain now. Of course, the title will likely be changed.

The events of the campaign will be set between BW and SC II, and it'll feature the Terran Dominion as the player's faction. The plot, alongside the new title I've devised, will be kept in secret until the campaign's release.
