Hey guys so I had this idea for a campaign focused on Amon's return, but not as the evil guy but someone that was "miss-understood".
I explain:
First of, I loved LotV campaign but the Epilogue was terrible imo. It felt like rushed and that ALOT of things were unexplained.I have this friend who knows alot about the lore and red about this "Voice in the Darkess" entity that, to anyone who does not know, is not Amon. He told me that this entity could take control about pretty much anything and make him stronger. His idea was: what if Amon was being controlled from the beggining by this entity? Imo it would explain why the final battle against Amon was so easy and why he offered very little resistance (talking much about the final lvl and not the epilogue as a whole), for I think that most people were expecting a boss battle that would be more challenging, something similar to the "Supreme" mission on HotS campaign.
Now as for the story, me and my friend thought about ressurecting Amon and after battling the factions leaders and kerrigan, ally with them to defeat this "Voice in the Darkness" entity.
Now shortly speaking, the campaign at first will go around an heroic hybrid that survived due to being frozen on an unknown world. This hybrid will gather energy or something that could amplify his power to ressurect Amon (maybe some kind of special crystal?). This will lead to an Hold-Out mission where the factions leaders will try to stop the ressurection at all costs. Kerrigan will make her apearance in a map focused on battling her. Not to make this much longer finally Amon will ally with them after telling them that he was actually possesed by this entity and did not intend to make so much destruction. Then they would fight the entity.
Now about making the maps, I have a little knowledge about the editor, for I have started not long ago, I understand a little bit of triggers and AI (after a few complications), I also feel that if I put some effort in the Terrain it comes out fairly decent but I do not know pretty much anything about the cutscene and data editor. The summer holidays are coming and in 1 week I will have alot of time to work on this but I feel that alone, I will not be able to complete this, at least not before the summer ends, which by then will become hard for me to mapmake.
I would like to know if there is anyone that would be interested in helping on the development of the maps.Or even someone that I could count with to help me to solve problems so that I can make this faster? If you would like me to explain the story in a more detailed way, feel free to pm me. Also what are ur thoughts about it? Please let me know about them!

I couldn't beat the last two missions on Brutal, which makes them the hardest in all of the campaigns for me :( But then again I didn't try very often.
You can use all content what I have created in your project.
Post specific questions to data / trigger forums.
Maps what I have created are very basic missions so I think you can learn lot of things quite easily by inspecting those maps.
Lord...I had the toughest time beating that last mission on Brutal in the epilogue. I think it took me a dozen tries.
Echoing Terhomator. I recommend you create a single-mission map that captures some of your ideas for the summer. It is hard to gather mapmakers into one project with us all working on our own projects and life in general. It's even more difficult to jump onto project with a mapmaker who is new to this forum. Welcome to Sc2Mapster btw!! Also, play other people's maps and leave feedback and help people solve problems with their maps this way we get to know you and might jump onto your project!!
Check out the Custom Campaign Initiative(CCI) and the wiki. The CCI has a loose guide on creating a custom campaign and the wiki has a ton of info on how to do just about everything in the editor. If this is going to be your first foray into the editor, then I suggest checking out DeltronLive's videos, which you can find in the CCI's "How to create a Custom Campaign"
Thank you for the warm welcome! Ill follow your advices. Also I had previously played custom campaigns but I never gave any feedback about them so ill do it aswell. And about helping people, well, im not so good at the editor now but, when i get better at it ill gladly help whoever needs!

Hey. Unfortunately 1 week or 1 summer is quite short time for campaign making if you are not very familiar with the editor.
Best way how I can help you is to lead you to
My own project: http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/hand-humanity-mission1/
Custom campaigns: http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/custom-campaign-initiative/
