Even if the rest of the bible was just Starcraft related I would still say quite a bit of what you have done so far is unrelated, its a good history don't get me wrong. | ||

That takes me back. Such a fun game ^^ at least in my memories of childhood. I love being old enough to have had an Amiga, and basically played or been around for the whole evolution of computer games. Nice article! | ||

Even if the rest of the bible was just Starcraft related I would still say quite a bit of what you have done so far is unrelated, its a good history don't get me wrong. It would be pretty hard to see just how ground-breaking starcraft was within its genre without seeing the genre first. The incredible accomplishment of having "Three Balanced Unique Races" really gets put into perspective here, and that's an accomplishment that a lot of people take for granted today. It's amazing to me that even though Warcraft 2 had only two races, which were nearly identical, balanced was still not achieved. And just a few years later Blizzard released their very next RTS which took the whole idea of racial disparity, magnified it a thousand-fold, and still managed to somehow retain balance. Incredible. And looking back on it, it might not seem as incredible as it was without this background information. Also, I don't think you realize just how much content the entire history of starcraft and the e-sports scene it spawned really has. I wouldn't be surprised if the content here was much less than half of what the final product will be. Props to chobopeon, this was an epic read and the youtube videos were excellent. Can't wait for part 2! | ||
