Map design with a philosophy of not leaving any single area uninteresting.
Conventional strategy-type scenarios, including defense, build-and-destroy, etc.
Badass cinematics!
Cinematic Sample:
NOTE: Since this is recorded with Fraps in desynched mode, it plays much more quickly than normal (and doesn't contain the original sound, although the same music is used). It is the second cinematic from playable scenario #2, "Motherly Love".
Screenshots:
Prologue: Kindling
1. Passage
2. Motherly Love
3. Promises
4. Avidity

Wow, this looks very good from the screen shots, and i hope that it will be a campaign that I will want to keep and replay after a while. I will play test it if you send it to me. My email is WinstonShnozwick@bresnan.net How long did this take you ? Oh and how do you make an auto installer application, I want to know how so I can make use of them.
It isn't hard to manually install, just include a readme with the directories to move what to.
I don't know of any installer program creator off hand, you could try to google. You should include the files AND the installer to be honest, a lot of people don't like to use .exe's (because of viruses) they don't trust. So that way it'd give them the option.
Anyway. Ontopic.
The screenshots look nice, I'm not into demos. But I'll give it a play when it's completed.

Hey Winston:
I used Smart Install Maker's free trial--you can download it here.
The scenarios in the demo have taken about a week's time to complete.
Thanks so much for the kind comments! I've sent demos to Winston and Beauchamp.

Could a mod change this thread's title to "Campaign Announcement: "Valhalla"". please? I'll update this with screenshots (maybe even a Fraps movie) from the second playable scenario later.

Nice Presentation! I downloaded the demo and I'm anticipating for the full thing. You got some good originality with build&destroy in this. Good luck!
If you don't know what to write, start writing. Same thing with scenario design. If you have know idea yet, start designing.
How do the environments look artificial? What does "artificial" mean in this sense? Does it just look like I've placed everything where it is, rather than it naturally turning up there?
I'm not sure how well you know HTML, but there are a lot of unclosed tags in that and you need to re-enable the forum table before your post ends. I did it for you, but it just rearranged the order of some of your screenshots (probably due to the numerous unclosed tags you have in there).
HTML aside, great use of the youtube embedding. The scenario looks very well eyecandied, and you've showcased very well.
Good luck with it.

Sorry about that, and thanks for fixing it. I did have the screenshots in that order originally, and they look better this way.
I don't know why this thread has so little attention, it looks so promising. The demo was really gret too. Sign me up for playtesting if there is room. JDmino@gmail.com

Thanks so much, JDmino. =D
I figure it'll probably take 7 months to a year from now until the campaign is ready for playtesting (considering voice acting, which I just decided on today).
I have specific ideas for 11 playable scenarios, but it'll probably end up being 12-14 scenarios long.
Looks good. I'll play the demo when I get around to it.

I will help out in anyway I can. I will do some voice-acting, or eyecandy. Although, my eyecandy style would clash with yours. You have natural eyecandy and mine is more artifical-looking. Just email me if you need help.

I tried to upload a video of some new stuff, but after 3 hours of waiting it "failed to convert", apparently.
I just got done with the third cinematic from the third scenario, working on the gameplay afterward.
I'm working on it in the other window as we speak--no signs of slowing down.
That eyecandy looks very good. This should be worth looking at.

I meant as soon as it's done.
If you look a little closer, you'll see it's still in development! That's why I made a demo/trailer instead of releasing it.
I'll be sure to send it to you once it's ready, though.
