Karune is back on Official forum

[supersonic]

Hey I dunno if anyone cares but I thought it might be a good source of NEW official information from Karune if we asked him some questions:

"BlizzCon has us all pretty busy over here, but there is definitely time for questions. We have lots to show you guys at BlizzCon! Should be lots of fun."

That's a little chat I had with him =P
if you look at the other threads that hes talked in it would seem they are updating the art just in time for Blizzcon and possibly for a better impression for Beta? Who knows but it's good to have some official words and new information again!

Hehe, Zealot new art, wonderful news!

Yeah I thought so too, although I didn't entirely mind how it was before, I guess the graphics of it were a little 2007 =P I can't wait to see how it's all going to look at Blizzcon!!

Oh and is there a forum I should post on for people wanting to know who's going to Blizzcon? Because I am DEFINITELY going =D

Ooh Zealot got art ugprade!?!?!? okay, I'm calling it.

Carrier, Phoenix, Mothership all have their art upgraded. The Void Ray also has its art updated, this time without the spinning thing. Thor I believe has been completely redone to fit its role much better. Roach model has been tweak along with the Lurker. High Templar model definitely has be remodelled.

That's it.
Carrier, Voidray, Mothership and High Templar have been remodelled. Phoenix, Roach, Lurker have been touched up. Lets see how many I get right.

Really? I didn't mind the Phoenix art, in fact a lot of the Protoss stuff I don't really mind. They could do a better job on the Stalker though, and maybe the observer.. And yes the Void Ray cause use an update, same with the Phase Prism..

Edit: yes for sure High Templar

The fact that Zealot art, something I actually didn't find any problems with even since the original debut, is being replaced gives me lots of hopes at the units which actually look bad.

[supersonic]

That's true, I'm very excited to see how it's going to look and then again when it finally gets released.. lol..

Are you going to Blizzcon Wankey?

I feel the contrary. Why are they wasting time remodeling units that everyone likes? Its stupid.

Even more interesting:

"On a side note, going along with the Galaxy Map Editor can do anything trend, I hear it may even be able to create a first person shooter style custom game Anyone miss those StarCraft paintball games? Our devs internally have already tried out some pretty clever side projects that have been quite successful."

Now, I couldn't be more excited about the Editor (and they have renamed it from SCUMEdit to Galaxy too).

Because right now, it's hard to comprehend till you see it, but when they remodel them your going to like them 10 times more than you did before! =D
