First of all, awesome work!
Please keep it up!

I think the Valkyrie could use a bit of a resize though, especially in the middle part of the model. It's not as chibi/cartoony looking as broodwar and its a bit offputting. Edit: You can also see a tidbit of the UI in the bottom left corner, looking great as well so far! Mad respect and props to the development team of this - It's amazing to see the community taking the matter into their own hands and doing it themselves since Blizzard shows no definitive signs of doing anything. I pray Open BW does not get shut down, it deserves to see the light of day!
This can't be any more true!

It looks so great!!!Keep on working!

Can you possibly add changing resolution? it's too zoom out

I'm the one who made that mockup screenshot— glad you like it! I should stress, it is a mockup, not an actual gameplay screenshot. The terrain I made by altering and clone-tooling together free stock texture images, it sadly isn't a functional tileset— yet! The Valkyrie and Mutalisk will also both get another improvement pass in the future, the exact texture/rendering setups for the final graphics are still being worked on. More units to come...

This is fucking amazing. Great work, I've even been showing my non-BW playing friends this stuff and they find it just as neat.

I'm most excited about the HD part of this project and you did an excellent job so far if you made that Valkyrie and Mutalisk. I think it seems like an extremely hard task to maintain the gritty and industrial feel that Brood War has in which Starcraft 2 didn't continue with (and ended up looking a lot more "cartoony"). But so far, I really REALLY like how the design is. Still has that Brood War feel to it. Keep up the awesome work.
Also on another note, when I first saw this thread I saw that only Terran was available for the replay viewer so I didn't bother to check it out. Now Zerg is out as well which was pretty fast and I tried out the replay viewer and it is awesome. Being able to rewind is such a godsend. That feature along makes this an invaluable tool. There are definitely suggestions I have, that I'm sure may be in the pipeline or have already been suggested (Worker count, replay time, being able to see what is researching) but yeah, this is extremely awesome. And how fast the updates come is really promising.

Could you specify what you mean by worker count and replay time?
The total worker count is displayed between the "gas" and the "army" count, the current replay time is displayed just above the pause control (the browser window should be about 7x as wide as the minimap width for everything to display correctly).
"currently researching" / "research done" tab is in the pipeline.
Let us know of your other suggestions!

Holy shit I'm retarded. You're right. I have no idea how i missed those things. I guess I'm just so used to looking for them in different places.

fun thing about this replay is that the player colors differs from those when watching replay in normal way. Also there is a 3rd player = observer which may casue some isues

Thank you! I did make them both, though I may end up focusing primarily on the Zerg... I have a feeling someone else will be doing an even better job of capturing that industrial terran feel in the near future...
For now, have a couple gifs of some classic mutalisk flapping action (This is probably larger than the final 'HD' sprites will be).

The mock-up did look better Although I suppose that is with filters applied, and lower res.

this mutalisk... dont wanna be zerg no more :D
|
i pref not adding HD 3D design :/

I love how that Mutalisk looks. Very accurate to the funky prerendered work in the manual, which I know is the idea here. We're just all used to Modern Blizzard Mutalisks instead of what they were actually supposed to look like in the SC1 era, silly as it may be.

Haha, yeah, that sort of thing does change a lot. On any model things like the level of detail and strength of bump maps should change depending on how big it's meant to be seen, so as resolutions and rendering setups are finalized, expect improvements. Everything is still subject to change.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wNL55YQ.jpg)
Another factor might be that those gifs are at the same (low) framerate as the original flapping animation. We'll see if that's something that ends up changing as well...
And I remember people calling mutalisks flying shrimps back in elementary school, brings me back.

Just want to stop by to thank the developers for their amazing work.
