Not sure if you have been following us on Twitter but just a few minutes ago I finished writing Episode 65.
So what’s the big deal you ask?
Well, Episode 65 is the final episode of Season Three. Season Three is the final Season of Neverending Nights.
I just finished writing the end of Neverending Nights. The final. No more. This is it.
Neverending Nights was intended to go about five seasons; but for various reasons, it got crunched down to three seasons after taking a year and a half break from it. The script has been rewritten by me about thirty times; if not more. I wanted to wrap it up. Put a pretty bow on the series and really finish it right. I wanted to cram aspects of what we had planned for the other seasons into this third one, and yet make it feel like everything was still flowing naturally.
To give you an idea, I began sending the script to myself in gmail so I could work on it where ever I was. The first email of that thread dates back to June 11, 2009. And here we are now Feb 3, 2010. I have skimmed the entire script several times now, and I have to say I am pleased with how it finally turned out. There’s some old jokes that come back. Some new jokes I bring in. Tons of new characters that do small parts here and there. An assortment of some very special guest voices who have lent a hand in making Season Three a great ending to the series.
I think back to everything Neverending Nights has brought into my life – and I can’t help and stare in wide eyed wonder at all the amazing things that have happened. I would have never believed that in October of 2004 when Adam and I were sitting in that Safety Meeting at work – that it would birth a series that would touch my life so deeply. Everything from the interview with Bioware, to the PC GAMER UK, to meeting with the folks of Atari at E3 to do some NWN2 Machinima, to the 2005 Machinima Film Festival, etc etc (See more details in our About section of the site).
I have met some incredible people because of this journey. People I hope to keep in my life even with this is all finally over.
I want to thank all of you who have stuck by the series. Who somehow kept believing in it and stuck with it as I pushed forward. Thank you for walking with me on this path. I appreciate it more than any of you will ever know.
