Shadowdance, Hive and Paladins

In honor of the re-release of Dance of Cloaks (which I may or may-not have stayed up all night to buy), I've decided to dust off this blog and get back to work. On my YouTube Channel, expect some Shadowdance music.
Sorry I haven't updated on this thing in ages, but I've been busy. Hive and I have been having disagreements. Apparently, I can't upload the Paladins a map at a time, so I have to finish the entire campaign in order to post it. I apologize for the inconvenience, but you're all going to have to wait for Paladins. But this dosen't mean I won't be able to tell you how it's going or show you screenshots or scripts. I am in no way giving up, but just keeping to the shadows.
Also, as a plus, I have an interactive challenge for you all, my 4 subscribers.
See, the Theme release on my channel is going to be a running thing. Every time a Shadowdance book is re-released is going to cause me to publish the theme I have chosen for that book. The problem is, whilst Death/Mirrors has its own theme, I have yet to find one I think suits Blades. So, if you'd like to help, suggest a track for me to use in the comments below. I'll take your suggestions in account, and publish it on the 5th. You have exactly 28 days. Good luck.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some reading to do...

Imminence

Got some real news for you today.

The first chapter of Night of Wolves, entitled "Wolf Hunting", should be finished either this week or next.

I'm really excited about this, and so should you all.

It should be out on Hive Workshop as soon as it's finished.

For everyone wondering what Darius' sprite looks like, and you have Warcraft 3... It's Arthas. Yeah, I know, rather lazy, but he has a flaming sword, which makes it all better.

As always, if you want to learn more, go to My Youtube Channel (And feel free to leave a comment) or My Hive Workshop Profile

If you still haven't read the genius behind the project, go to Mr Dalglish's Website

Glimpse of a Hero

Right, so, quick post here. First off, the campaign is going well. I'm really getting into it and I've got the soundtrack sorted out.
Second... well, just watch:

See it? That's Jerico, Paladin of Ashhur, ladies and gentlemen. That's the game sprite. What do you all think?

Thanks to Thrikodius for the shield model.

Paladins and Resources

Okay, so I've decided to start this extremely adventurous foray into Dalglish's world with The Paladins series. This series is the first because of several reasons

1. It was, in my opinion, the most simple of Dalglish's series. Not bad, not awful, far from it, one of the best series out there. But it was simple. No great complicated plots, no complex stories, just the simple Hit the bad guy with cool-as-all-hell sword, win fight, the end. Simple yet extremely effective.
2. It was the first series I ever read, and so the one I feel can replicate the most. Other series, such as Shadowdance, I could only do after a bit more experience under my belt.
3. The ending of Broken Pieces. Enough said.

So, yeah. Paladins. Which means the first campaign is Night of Wolves. God help me.

In case you're wondering, I've already started work on the first mission in the campaign. All I need is a bit more time.

Also, Dalglish fans, please not I will be changing the story a bit *Ducks flying arrows from enraged Dalglish fans* I know, I know, a curse of Karak on you, but I'll only change bits if it means I can make a better game. I won't change any key story details, just minor tweaks. For example, Jerico's encounter with the Wolf-Man at the beginning of the book will be expanded a bit and made into the first mission. I'll also be adding elements that don't directly influence the plot, but will influence the game. More details will follow in my next post.

Meanwhile, for whoever reads this stuff, here's a list of my resources. These are the other sites I'm using to publish both the campaigns and the music I'm using as the soundtrack.

Introduction

As a reader, very few authors have gripped my imagination and made me eager for more as easily and as fully as David Dalglish. His books are amazing, and coming from me, as my family will attest to, that's heavy praise.
One of the things I enjoy is reading authors not many people know, mainly because big names like Lord of the Rings and (God forbid) Harry Potter have absorbed so much of the spotlight, leaving these criminally underrated authors a small amount of the fame. With Dalglish, I find this to be a criminal offence. If you haven't read his books yet, I highly recommend them. In fact, if you haven't read them, stop reading this, get your kindle or go to your nearest bookstore, and buy them. Here's his website. Check him out. You won't be disappointed.
But, anyway, you lot are probably wondering why there's a 'Warcraft 3' in the title. Well, on day, I was complaining as I usually do to my brother (who has not read the books). His suggestion? Make a Warcraft 3 mod of Dalglish's Books.
This was a new experience to me. I had Warcraft 3 on my laptop, of course (what sort of geek would I be if I didn't?) but I had only used the map Editor a couple of times, so how could I be expected to make a campaign in such an epic world?
Nevertheless, that is what I'm attempting. I've made this blog so that fellow Dalglish and Warcraft 3 fans can follow me every step of the way. It is also because, to be honest, I can't imagine doing this all by myself. I'm relying on the Warcraft 3 fans to help me with the editing, and fellow Dalglish fans to help me withe the Lore of Dezrel.
Thanks for your time, and I should have a report of my progress soon
