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...

Metzen is running a tabletop game company. Oh joy.

Unless he has actually...

Why should that make a difference? Nothing short of a reboot is going to fix the problems with the writing. Any SC3 or FPS spin-off will be a soft reboot anyway given Blizzard’s disregard for...

I am not surprised. I don’t know if this is the end of the StarCraft IP, although I wouldn’t be surprised...

I’m Currently reading Rusalka by C.J. Cherryh

Watching Gundam Orphans on Netflix.

Gives me some inspiration for writing my own gritty scifi.

The search feature on the main website isn't working. Also, the site is littered with tons of broken links.

I’m trying out Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars. I preordered and got access to the beta. It’s a mix of Total War and Magic: The Gathering.

It has a linear single player campaign with named...

I’m playing Command & Conquer Remastered. The source code was released under GPL, so now there’s loads of mods on Steam.

Sorry. I’ll stop.

I blocked Rag because we can’t seem to have constructive conversations.

I’m sorry. I’ll stop.
