Dwarven Spirits, Part II.

I almost died today.

Figured that might capture your attention. That’s right. I almost died.

But in a good way.

How is nearly dying ever good?

Well, when it’s from laughter. I just got the chance to listen to the tracks that Stephen Crouch has done for us as the Pawl the Dorf replacement. I could not stop laughing. He’s brought the Pawl the Dorf accent to a brand new level. I think this new take on Pawl the Dorf is really going to kick the series up a notch in the humor department! I’ve listened to all the tracks and… by the Goddess Nen, it’s full of goodness!

Step by step, we’re getting closer and closer to Season 3’s launch!

Just need to get a hold of Adam & Amanda Freese to get their lines done! With any luck we can do it sometime this weekend.

Dwarven Spirits!

Some exciting things!

I was chatting with Alex Dartnall, who will be doing one of the voices in Neverending Nights. Well, he also happens to be a very talented musician – and I got to thinking – each season of Neverending Nights (granted, it’s only been two thus far!) – someone different has done the intro music. Jay did it for the first season. Travis Richards did it for the second season. I thought it would be interesting to have a third – and final! – take of the Neverending Nights intro theme music that’s become so well known and loved! Well, I sent Jay’s original file to Alex – and within two days – Alex had sent me his take on the song! It’s done on guitar and sounds absolutely beautiful! (He claims he still wants to “perfect” it some – I love it as it is!) So I am very excited about a new version of the NeN Intro Music!

But fear not, music master Travis Richards will still be doing the rest of the music of Neverending Nights!

Also – I just got the tracks from Stephen Crouch who is doing the replacement voice of Pawl the Dorf! Now just trying to schedule a time to meet up with Adam & Amanda Freese to get their voice tracks for Grayson & Andrea!

A huge step.

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.

Aye, Lads! They FOUND a new me!

Yesterday, I mentioned that Paul Molina was unable to obligate to lending a voice for the final season of Neverending Nights, and that he would have to drop out. While we were definitely saddened by the news, since Paul had truly given Pawl the Dorf a very unique voice and life – we definitely understood! But being in the zone – I managed to find a very, very suitable replacement for the character. I am very excited about this.

More soon!

Aye, Lads! We Be Needin’ A New Me!

I spoke to Paul Molina (who you no doubt know did the voice of Pawl the Dorf – as well as Bob the Goblin, among a few other voices) – and he informed me that he will not be able to fulfill doing the role of Pawl the Dorf (or any voices) for Neverending Nights for its final season. I am going to poke around locally (as well as some folks I know online) to see if they can send me some demos. If I don’t find someone – I will do an open casting for the roles that Paul Molina had once done!

It will be difficult replacing the unique spin that Paul Molina gave Pawl the Dorf! But sometimes life just works out that way!
