Your Own Campaign

[sandwich_bird]

Eh, I dunno. I wouldn't consider a game having side-quests, cinematics, dialogue, lore etc to be "good execution" since all AAA games have this. You must therefore agree then that all AAA games must have "good execution"?

Not all (ME: A) but many. In terms of AAA RTS though, I can't say the same. Obviously, there's a much smaller pool to compare. But, for example, I tried Spellforce 3 recently and felt that the story wasn't properly delivered even if it sounds alright so far. It's really about the whole experience I guess. SC2 is a great experience from start to finish despite the bad story(imo anyways). Huh, admittedly this is all very loose subjective stuff. I'd have to think more on this to have a better position.

Ah, I think the word you're looking for here is "specious". Yes, Sc2 is most definitely this.

yeah, that might be it.

I would do what I tried to do in the Galaxy Editor, and create my "uprising" campaign under a different name, with new units, spells and custom models, six campaigns in the vein of SC1's campaign style.

If you eventually do it, I'd take a look Stratos

What was that about?

Just as a side note, if they release a Warcraft 3 Remastered with a slightly edited WC3 map editor, how funny would it be if people used SC models to make a SC2 custom campaign in the WC3 engine since the editor was a good deal more accessible?

I am really surprised Blizzard never cleaned up the galaxy editor. I thought I remembered them saying they would, years ago.

It was my interpretation of a "proper" Brood War sequel, not too dissimilar to the common idea of a Zerg -> Protoss -> Terran campaign with the main antagonist being a Protoss.

They don't have to. People have worked their asses off to learn it and pump out content anyway.

[Visions of Khas]

Okay, Kaiser, how would that have played out? How do you make the protoss into the aggressors?

Grad, it seems as though there would be even MORE content if the galaxy editor were more accessible. From my perspective, the modding community is currently suffering its final death throes.

[Gradius]

Yeah but that’s a really small percentage of the player base that even cares about that kind of stuff and it’s not dying due to the lack of content, though I’m sure more would help. Look at the custom campaign initiative, there’s a bunch of stuff there.

My theory is that it’s dying because nobody can really take the StarCraft universe seriously anymore. It’s just kind of went off the rails and anything can happen now in the story. But yeah, some more support for the modding community could have helped for sure, especially if Blizz actually delivered on their promise to create the marketplace. That way mappers could have some actual motivation to put in the countless manhours required to trudge through the editor.
