Thanks to those of you who tuned into today's episode! For those of you who missed it, the VOD is available on ESV.TV! prodiG has "upload VODs to YouTube and/or Blip" on his to-do list so tweet at him (@prodiGsc) if you're getting salty because of the Twitch.tv-only VODs.
Next week, I will be in California for BlizzCon. As per our deal in Episode 3, I will give you a hug if you tell me that 'Metalopolis is killing eSports' if you see me in Anaheim. That being said, there will be an episode of MapCraft: State of the Terrain on Sunday, October 23, 2011. prodiG will be hosting solo so leave a reply if there's something specific you'd like to see from him next episode.
If you're interested in learning more about map texture, I may be streaming from OverKlocked tomorrow night as I continue to work on my map. It's not thrilling, but I'll put on a fun playlist. Broadway musicals, perhaps? I'll tweet (@jacquelinesg) if I do end up streaming.

Awesome episodes so far, but what happens when you guys finish this map? Are you just going to start on another one or something, or is this a one thing type of deal?
Anyways, I got some suggestions you guys should cover.
1. Race specific race restrictions/considerations; such as making sure units on cliffs overlooking expansions can be hit by the roaches 4 attack range, places to put your overlord, considerations with void ray charging, and ect.
2. When to tell you have overdone it on the texturing or placing of doodads. Speaking of texturing, can you demonstrate how to properly use man made texture like tiles, such as metalopolis is done?

wuhaaaaaaaaaaaa~ I never updated the thread!!
MapCraft: State of the Terrain Episode 4 will be aired live on Sunday, Oct 23 6:30pm GMT (GMT+00:00) on ESV.TV!
In episode 4, prodiG will be flying solo as Versailles is in Anaheim for Blizzcon (jelly). prodiG will analyze the changes that went into the latest version of his map, ESV Ithaca which is used in the Korean Weekly tournament and after special guest iGrok from Map of the Month will be joining him to discuss MotM itself, the judging process and more.

I can't find the VOD of ep.3 on the ESV twitch site anymore.
Forgot about the show after ep.1 and want to catch up on it. Anyone have a working link?
|
Very cool!
I have added them to my to watch list, hopefully I will finish the map I started on a year ago.

The link that I posted before was working, but now the VOD seems to be MIA. I messaged prodiG on Twitter so here's hoping he has an idea of where it could be found. It would be unfortunate if the episode were lost!

I hope they deliver awesome tilesets/textures/doodadds for HotS mapmaking

MapCraft: State of the Terrain Episode 5 will be aired live on Sunday, Oct 30 8:30am GMT (GMT+00:00) on ESV.TV!
Comrades, we have failed!
Metalopolis has been added to the Season 4 map pool.
This weekend's episode will be busy! As I continue to work on my fire and ice map's terrain texture, prodiG and I will be discussing the recent SC2 map news: the HotS map mod changes and the Season 4 map pool. While I'm thrilled for the HotS map editor changes (custom doodads, what what!?), the new map pool makes me sad. Oh Blizzard: why must you toy with my emotions? Be prepared with your comments and questions as viewer interaction is welcomed and appreciated!
Due to my work schedule, we will be airing the episode a touch late. For those of you who cannot join us on Sunday, the VOD will be available on ESV.TV immediately following the show.

Trying to catch up on SotT VODS... crappy hotel internet is preventing me. Chop up teh vods? =)?
No? Ok.
Hopefully will be watching on sunday if I can get caught up on the vods. The show has inspired me to start my own map. The entire process is fun!
|
Ohhh shit! Sup prodiG ? You are so awesome bro! I will def. be tuning into this, can't wait!

So Metalopolis is back and obviously this is a terrible thing, what's worse is that the community seems almost ecstatic about it. I suppose what's most frustrating is that it's a hugely Z favored map and Blizz knows that.
Also Calm before the storm has been added to GSL. At first glance this map looks very Protoss friendly.
So my question is, doesn't having heavily race favored maps in a map pool essentially make whoever wins the first game the winner as they'll maybe lose the second game on their opponents favorite map, but then win the 3rd on their own fave map. Surely map designing any map to be heavily one race favored is poor design?

Stream is live now for Ep. 5! www.esvtv.com
We should be starting shortly!
Just got a call from Versailles, she's stuck at work. We'll be starting in about an hour! (2:30 PM PST/5:30PM EST)
Sorry for the delay everyone. In the meantime, I'll do a pseudo-preshow and work on the finishing touches for my latest map. It won't be as educational but still interesting!

There will be no episode of MapCraft: State of the Terrain on Sunday, November 6, because prodiG and I will be attending Canada Cup in Calgary, AB! It's a relatively short drive away, and the both of us jumped at the opportunity to attend a major eSports event with a minimal financial investment.
If you have missed any of our previous episodes, you can catch any of the VODs on ESVtv!
Comments? Questions? Let us know!

MapCraft: State of the Terrain Episode 6 will be aired live on Sunday, Nov 13 10:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) on ESV.TV!
After a HYPE weekend at Canada Cup, prodiG and I are returning this weekend with another episode of MapCraft: State of the Terrain. On this episode, I will continue to work on the texture of my map while prodiG and a to be determined member of the ESV map team discuss the results of the TL Map Contest and the IPL Map Contest.
Questions? Comments? Leave a reply!

DERP. Forgot to update the OP (it's up-to-date now). Skyrim has siphoned too much of my time and now I'm playing catchup at the last minute.
+ Show Spoiler +Skyrim is godlike. If you've been playing it, you'll understand.
Today we're going to have IronManSC from ThePlanetaryWorkshop on as a special guest to talk about IPL and TLMC. He submitted TPW Ohana, which is a finalist map in the TLMC.

Have episode 5 VODS gone up yet? I can't seem to find them.

Looks awesome, I'm so shit at making maps, will be good to learn something.

They WERE up but Twitch.TV VODs keep exploding for some reason, I'm going to try to figure out why this evening after the show.
I can see all of the VODs here but none of the links work :/

Hey great show today! It was great to be a part of it. It looks like we barely squeezed it in on time I look forward to re-watching it on VOD and to your future shows!
EDIT: Vods work btw but not sure why there are 2 of the same episodes.

Just searched this after readings the interview. I'm sure it'll be really interesting to watch.
