Last post of the year ^^
I´ve been really busy for the last 10 days. The coming week is also full, but I will squeeze in a couple of hours at the editor. XiA aka asphyxia88 has helped me a lot in the editor. Almost all the major issues are now solved. Thank you once again!
Here is the schedule for the coming year:
- New patch will be released next weekend (January 5-6). I aim to get everything fixed - the reaver will work, moving shot for Corsair, the new spell caster for Protoss, corruptors fixed and a lot of other issues that is on my "to do-list".. The foundation for the MOD will be completed, including all units, abilities, upgrades etc. (Balance will of course not be perfect.)
- On 21 January Starbow will be out of beta. The time between the next patch (January 5-6) and January 21 will be the last beta-time. Maybe some more things turn out to be flawed, other bugs are found out, certain things must be reworked since they are waaaay imbalanced.. if so, all of that will (hopefully) be taken care of before January 21.
- On 21 January it will be one year since I published the first version. It will be considered a complete MOD and I can no longer blame bad things on "but this is only beta!!". I will start to "advertise" better, fix a ranking system and spread the word. Contact Day-9, Husky and TL-attack etc.. Maybe arrange some kind of tournament. Fix the opening post with info, fix a credit list. Maybe Starbow gets a large player base who enjoy it. Maybe it falls into oblivion. Its time to see if the ship can float...
Of course additional patches will be relased in the future. They will focus more on balance and bug fixes. The map pool also needs to become much better. I once again ask you all to keep an eye for new maps. Maybe create a completely new map just for Starbow? Or recreate an old BW-map? Anyone feel like doing it?
Happy new Starbow year!!! 
|
I am pumped! Best new year ever!
|
I'd certainly be all for spreading the word of Starbow 
Unfortunately, this is not Broodwar, so I have no clue about the editor and can't make maps for it :/ But I know that I'd love to play on Fighting Spirit :D Aside from that, there's always some awesome maps coming up in the "Custom Map" section on TL, maybe we can check some stuff out other there/here?
|
Looking forward to what is to come! Wonderful job so far.
Yeah, haha, the map pool could use some refreshing XD

Happy new year to all of you starbowians :D

I need more replays to cast. HyunA sent me some nice ones, but I don't want to cast the same player three times in a row, seems a bit biased. Please pm me with your best games. I also don't want to cast myself  Can't wait for patch...
Oh, one more thing. Has all cheeses been tried out? I know it's boring to cheese or be cheesed, but it is important to the development of the game to know that e.g. 60 hp scv is not too strong if there is a bunker rush or the chrono on cannons are too good in a canon rush etc. Any experience?
|
wow this mod is incredible why is nobody in the chat channel T_T no starbow players on EU? or am i in teh wrong chat channel
|
Not a lot of people have been playing over the holidays and I am playing LoL right now, so just check in later today and there'll be more people online
|
Small bug (I think): When the swarm guardian consumes anywhere on the map, the opponent can hear the sound from the consume animation.
|
Hi, maps looks good, have yet to play a person though :S
Was wondering if you could better document current versions/patches. While there seems to be patch notes, one cant tell which patch the notes are for, nor which version is the currently most up-to-date.
|
Any good recent VoD I can watch? I want to see the improvement in the time I have not followed the project

I know I was much more active earlier, but I haven't stopped checking in on this thread (honestly, the only reason I come back to TL anymore). I've been waiting for the post. Awesome job Kabel. Really looking forward to it.

Just played my first StarBow game, TvZ. It was really entertaining! Way more fun then SC2... =/
Good job anyway guys and best of luck!
|
Glad you enjoyed it!
The new patch will be up in ca 1 hour on EU
Would be nice if you all wanna join the Starbow chat channel so we can get some nice games going tonight
|
Of course he enjoyed it, all games that I'm in tend to go like 5 hours '-'
Nah, jk. Excited for the new patch, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh :D

--- New patch uploaded on EU ---
First of all, XiA has helped me with a lot of the tricky things in the editor for this patch.. He deserves applauses!
- Corsairs, Mutalisks and Vikings have moving shot as in the SC2BW. (Players can now pull of some nice tricks)
- Corruptors deal splash dmg vs air units. They now have energy. For 100 energy they can cast contaminate, which disables a building as in SC2. For 200 energy they can cast "Corrupt" which destroys target ground unit. (Similar to spawn broodlings for Queens in BW)
- Vikings can now be upgraded to deal splash dmg vs air units. The upgrade has been moved from the Goliath to Vikings. Goliaths do not deal splash dmg.
- Storm has no cooldown.
- The Scout has been added to the Stargate. It has a weak air to ground attack and a strong air to air attack vs armored targets. Corsairs now deal less dmg vs lifted units.
- A new Protoss spellcaster has been added, called the Nullifier. It is now flying, can be built from the Robo bay. It has no attack but three spells:
Nullify - Launch a missile at target unit. Upon impact it drains all energy from the target and deals that amount of drained energy as dmg to nearby units.
Void Shell - Up to 5 ground units are not auto-attacked for 12 seconds.
Vortex - All units in a small area are sucked into the area for 12 seconds. Does not effect armored or massive units.

Lots of minor modifications and bug fixes. No drastic balance changes. (But many well deserved small ones, like Carrier nerfs etc..)
New map Redwood
I¨m eager to come online now to play/obs so I do not make a huge post where I explain every detail and why and so on ^^
