You should join the discord. The devs are nice people and would probably be happy to discuss your concerns.

As I understand it, their monetization scheme is going to rely on free-to-play....

Sorry for the late reply, I don't really keep up with this forum anymore. I'm on Nral's discord if anyone wants to get in touch with me.

Yeah, I don't care anymore because I think this lore is...

I imagine that the combination of ending support and the various controversies contributed to that. I’ve never been interested in MP tho

Blizz’s mismanagement neatly destroyed everything that I saw was good. Just like every other franchise I ever bothered to invest in. Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, He-Man, Starship Troopers, Lord of...

Tell me how you feel after Blizz writes new lore that retroactively ruins what you liked about SC2. If the SC IP isn’t already dead, then that’s what they’re inevitably going to do with it. Just as...

To be honest, I don’t think that anything Blizz crapped out could have lived up to the stories we imagined in our heads.

Original fiction or fanfiction?

Ditto. Nowadays I’m working on original scifi and fantasy fiction.

The forum has been down for a while, but it’s back now.

I have been stuck in my house since Feb 2020. Thankfully I can work from home so I’m not unemployed. I’ve gotten used to it, I guess. I didn’t really leave the house except to commute to work anyway.

You should get into contact with the Amber, Immortal, Liquidation, Edge of Chaos, etc devs. I’m sure they could use another modeler.

Looking back with hindsight, the Starcraft campaigns are... repetitive.

Ep1: Raynor rebels, gets betrayed
Ep2: Kerry hunts down her enemies
Ep3: Artanis fights extinction
Ep4: Artanis fights...

Tura, the reason I like the zerg is because they tried to make the devouring swarm trope somewhat more interesting to read about by anthropomorphizing them enough to make them vaguely sympathetic and...

Has anybody here played Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri?

The ideologies in that still set standards for today.

I wish that the sides in Starcraft were even a fraction as deep.

One of my...

I know franchises are prone to bad writing.

The new She-Ra show is terrible.

The key difference is that people actually criticize She-Ra.

Horde Prime is an even more shallow and poorly...

The problem is exactly that Starcraft was not intended to be a franchise. The sides didn’t get any foundation or ideology, but instead the characters’ personal desires and vendettas carried the...

Yep.

The manual included short bios for six factions for each race. (Modeled after the Alliance nation and Horde clan bios in WC2 manual.) Did this ever play a role in the games? Nope!

WC2 was...

To expand on that a bit more...

I don’t think a story mode was ever needed. The brief lore on the classic battle net starcraft strategy compendium was plenty sufficient. The manual lore was a nice...

Eh, what the heck. Here’s the link to the SC Discussion discord I’m hanging out at. https://discord.gg/hMZHQcDRFz

It was a stupid idea to shoehorn sequels after a story that was never intended to have sequels or support a wider universe. If you want sequels or a wider universe, then you need to prepare for that...

I agree to an extent. I don’t like the way Mengsk was centered in the terran lore and prefer an actual confederation like they described on the 1996 website.

I don’t like Raynor and Kerry for the...

What I meant is that the war as depicted oneshot in SC1 could have feasibly been expanded into an arc spanning multiple games. The period depicted in episode 1 where the three sides fight over terran...

The story being mediocre wouldn't annoy me as much if the fanboys didn't constantly praise it and chase me out of the fandom for not worshiping Kerry.

The Confederacy, Conclave, and Cerebrates (or...

If you must know, then it’s a combination of jealousy and disappointment. I’m jealous that Metzen was so successful despite his clear lack of talent/skill (he’s a much better artist than writer) when...
