EPTBout 30 min in.
Should this or any sort of announcement reach his youtube, then the hypetrain will be rolling. And we best have the tracks ready by then.

The painful days of re-uploading the entire map pool are over already. It becomes more an issue of what maps are already properly sized for Starbow. | ||

I think Xiphias cousin has already finished one. But I can give you my thoughts anyway: I kinda like the graphic "bow" , since that adds some kind of thematic sense into the name. People often ask me what "starbow" actually means. An actual bow makes that.. more understandable? Haha I don´t know .. TL has its horse. Starbow has its bow If you still want to work on it, can you get the text and colors to look more Starcrafty? (Kinda like the real Starcraft logo) @Hypetrain I am working on a brief update for the opening post. (Just to give basic info at least) More details will come in the wiki within the next days @Patch 2.1 I have not looked much into the patch or its features. When will it be avaiable? @Regarding the past What about old Starbow VODS who are uploaded? (Some are over one year old.) As you all know, Sbow has gone through a lot of changes. Basically because I have wanted to try various things like units, spells, different solutions etc. The game today is different from the game 3 months ago. Shall the old vods be removed? Or maybe renamed into "Starbow super alpha" or something? Or just let it be? (In case this adds confusion once Starbow goes "public".. "hey I saw a game with Immortals.. wtf!!") | ||

We can just upload our Starbow maps as melee maps and note on the extension mod that Starbow maps are designed to be played with the extension mod Starbow.

Makes me sad but removing old vods isn't too bad of an idea. Starbow can be an entirely different game month by month. God I remember when blink stalker rushes were imba vs zerg on match point. How long ago was that, a full year? | ||

Maybe save them in some way? (On the computer..?) What do you think Xiphias? (Since both you and Dec are the only ones who have uploaded old games, as far as I know) @Old painful Starbow memories.. Yeah.. T_T | ||

Getting a big name to put focus on the mod can really get things going fast. And as Sumadin said - this is the time to get ready to handle the influx of players. I have seen countless times how big youtube names do a feature of a small game or mod or whatever, then it gets huge attention, only for the masses to realize that it was a work in progress that was not ready for that kind of attention. Props to TB for trying to give us a heads up before things start rolling, but unfortunately the reddit thread looks like it might get things going faster than intended. There is already negative voices due to confusing information about the mod, so we need to get things like the wiki in shape asap. Honestly though, it should not have come as a surprice to anyone that this kind of thing could be starting. Anyone who pays attention to design discussions on TL must have noticed that StarBow gets mentioned more and more in those threads as an example of how things could be done. With the general consensus being that the mod is a nice experiment, but has too little traction to be conclusive in any way, someone was bound to try and give it a push into the spotlight sooner or later. Lets hope that we can get the things more presentable before masses of reddit followers comes to check out what this is all about. | ||

I just uploaded a map with the correct version to both EU and NA. Can someone help me to double check so you can find them in the Arcade on both servers? (So I did not do it the wrong way) Just search for Starbow @Logo :-O | ||
