Yeah, it's a test, but I was very serious with "En Taru Adun", which, as was stated, supposed to be "En Taro Adun".
Take-away lesson: Being seriously serious, can lead to mistaken mistakes.
But I think I trolled Deltron there with some measure of success. hehe
[Seriously] though, I'm going to need someone to check for mistakes in the future, pertaining to Dialogue text. Spelling, punctuation, and some suggestions for better phrasing (without going "out of character").
I want to use the Spartacus style with Zergund.
Regarding the issue, DL, I had to use "Window" recording to get the dialog to show up. Using the "Game" recording option makes the dialog disappear as the recording continues seconds after the dialog is shown.
There's an explosion in that area right after the blast if you can notice. That is where a series of underground temples exist, and where the shards are being kept. If you've played the SC1 version, the final mission is about these shards and temples.
And about the lightning, the entire planet is supposedly surrounded by Psionic Energy whereby the Psi Matrix run its thing. So it's not entirely impossible that such an effect could happen.
That and how the model can't seem to be resized further.
Anyway, I think it's fine. Besides the cinematic assets are low poly.

Thanks man. I've done more for it, but it requires cinematics. I'm not sure if I should continue. I want to, but it would take a lot of time. I'm not sure I can make it happen. Do you think I should take it slowly, and go with creating cinematics? Or should I just do a top-down with some texts?
I'm looking at this and I would either have to need to show emotion via low poly models, or tweak the script so it fits a transmission based exposition thing.
Are you making the models now?
-------------------
Ext. Burned plains. Aiur -- day.
Zergund gently pulls ralrazin to the side, as he pulls himself up from the ground.
Zergund
Step aside.
Zergund takes his usual combat pose, and unleashes his psiblades.
It BURSTS open, but something's wrong. It's not holding a steady flame, until it flickers off.
Zergund pounds on his arm guard and blade mount, and tries again.
Nothing.
Again! Still nothing.
Up ahead the.ZERGLINGS turns to face their direction, cocking their heads like raptors noticing prey and rushes forward.
Ralrazin
Run.
Ralrazin darts back up to foot of the cliff, but she's all alone. She turns looking for zergund and there he is at a distance. Still standing there. Still trying to light his blades.
Ralrazin
Zergund! Run!
But he cant. He wont. We can see it in his eyes. He cant believe what is happening. But he knows.
Smash cut to:
Int. Dae'uhl mothership. High orbit over some planet -- day.
The door slides open, as we follow a younger zergund walk through it.
Up ahead stands VICAR SETHARU'UN, looking over the lush green planet from a platform.
Setharun
Do you know why they sent you to me?
The noble vicar signals zergund to come closer.
Setharun (cont'd)
So you can gaze upon an example. Of how wretched it would be should you hold to your decision.
Setharun meets zergund halfway down the golden staircase. Tapping him on the shoulder.
Setharun (cont'd)
Warriors like us, zergund, no one can truly understand.
The vicar shows him his wrist blade mount. It's old, and no khydarin crystal is on it.
Zergund
And yet still you chose to ascend as templar. You have given yourself to a new path, forsaking who you are. This i cannot do. to endure death wielding the blade carries more honor than to be severed from it.
Setharun
As i said. An example of how wretched it would be.
(takes.out his crystal amulet, and stares at it for a beat)
Sethrun (cont'd)
As such i send you back, to suffer shame as Primar.
Zergund
I accept.
Setharun
So be it.
Cut to:
Ext. Burned plains. Aiur -- day.
Zergund is still in shock. Just staring at the zerglings rushing towards him.
Ralrazin pops her blaster open, and resets the khydarin crystal.
one shot left, but at least it works. the blaster revs up, and ralrazin takes aim.
Zergund is too close to the target, but it's now or never.
Ralrazin fires her shot, BOOM.
The BLAST throws Zergund to the ground, Zerglings burst into pieces, dust and smoke.
Done with Aldaris portrait, and trying to ease myself into writing the script. Here's a snippet:
CHAPTER 1: AFTERMATH
The old world is gone, but no one realizes it.
Ralrazin and Zergund awakens from the blast. shaken they behold a world of ash, fire, and an eerie silence.
For ralrazin this is nothing new, but for zergund the inability to feel others psionically was deafening.
What had just happened? isn't this supposed to be the end? a triumphant victory earned through sacrifice? aren't we supposed to be celebrating, not crawling on our knees fearing for our lives?
The ringing in their heads doesn't stop, but they keep moving. the blinding light behind them lighting the way ahead. dying embers of the overmind, and a fading reminder of tassadar's sacrifice.
More of their brethren awakens from the blast. but they were not the only ones to recover.
It's clear. the war is not over. far from it. Zerg broods collect themselves, shaking off dust and regaining their composure to strike.
Zergund prepares for combat, but his blades are dead. something is definitely terribly wrong. he tries to light his psiblades again, but to no avail.
Ral: Run.
Ralrazin quickly darts back towards the hills. zergund is right there in his futility, trying to light his blades. it's the only thing he knows. he lived by it. he is his psi blades, and soon he might be just as dead.
Ral: Zergund, run!
But he can't. he just stands there, unable to shake the feeling that it is over. his world is over. all those hundreds of years training, the bloodshed, the glory, the striving and living by a code born from this and for this very thing he can no longer wield -- everything, his very essence now counts for nothing.
Ralrazin shuffles through her blaster, flips the khydarin amulet, and resets it.
One charge left. but at least it works.
She aims, zergund is too close to the target, but it's now or never. She squints and unleashes the final plasma charge at the incoming zerg.
BOOM.
The blast throws Zergund back diving into the ground. Zerglings BURST into pieces. dust and smoke.
Yeah, it's a test, but I was very serious with "En Taru Adun", which, as was stated, supposed to be "En Taro Adun".

@Hockleberry:
Thanks Hockleberry!
Update:
A test of the briefing room, featuring Aldaris and Zergund.
I'm not happy with the dialog, but if nothing else, I may settle with just trying to make this work.
Note: There is an issue with OBS and SC2 when running dialogs in game above a cutscene. If anyone knows a fix, please let me know.
The dialog has portraits at different Rendering priority. Maybe that's where the problem is.

Yup. Thanks. I started creating my own Text Style lately. It's more convenient.

Update:
I've done some work. Progress is slow, but I'm loving the cutscene editor. :D
Here's one sample. I don't know how it got like this after VDUB, but maybe it's meant to be this way. I hope you're liking where this is going. XD
