Despite the unexpected turn of events due to mission 4, progress has been quite promising; I'd even say it's about 90 percent done (with the exception of needing beta testing). I'm surprised myself.
While the custom campaign will take a while before I can share the complete package, you should know that this campaign was not designed to be a "veteran level" set of missions like what you get from Enslavers II or many other challenging ones. This is meant to be story-first, with gameplay being enough of a challenge (I hope) to force you to strategize against the enemy.
There's more that needs to be done even once the campaign is in a playable state. For one, while it does have voice acting, I'm merely repurposing the original VOs that were used in the original campaign. I plan to add new dialogue and redo others, but I'll need a proper budget to pay voice artists for their talents. And no, while I know there are helpful AI tools that can do that for a fraction of the cost, I'm more inclined to support actual voice artists - even if it does mean paying extra. So what? Voice artists need to eat, too, you know!
A friend has already volunteered his talents to record some new voice work, and I truly appreciate his support. I still plan to reimburse him for his time, of course, 'cause it's the right thing to do.
At any rate, there'll be more to share in the coming days. Keep an eye out for new updates!
