why does he need 70k for this? where would the money go? How does that speed up development? Looks nice though, would rather they let us have the option to implement this in client then on only arcade
If you read the page, it's going to take a shit ton of animation time + modders time. And for your second part, that's not something Carbot can control

This is the coolest thing in Starcraft history, ever! If they (and us!) are good at promoting it, it could be fucking huge.
I hope it happens and that game media gives it exposure!

I would assume that they are aware of this - who knows, they might already be trying to incorporate the new unit designs in the Mod

I wish Blizzard someday makes a free to play WC4 or SC3 where only units skins like those ones are sold...
|
I wish they shared their development process :<, Last time I remember a kinda 2d/3d thing made in sc2 (AFAIK a remake of a Legend of Zelda game or something like that, might have been Pokemon, fuzzy memory) It looked kinda meh, nothing like the quality shown in the video.

They say that $70k is the minimum goal. What happens if they don't reach that? Do they plan to continue with it and release something eventually anyways?
Looks like they are doing well so far, hopefully they can make it since what they have right now looks fantastic.

This looks awesome, grats.
|
Great project, I love the tech demo already. But it doesn't let me choose any other race than Protoss any more.

Yeah I knew about this, I really hope they can lower the requirement for lotv units.
Also it looks like carbot was thinking to make the game less stressful but I wonder how are they going to achieve it

Really hope that you can fund 100%. Otherwise, the passion is not up to the level where we can do a lot of interesting stuff as a community.
|
I'm totally in. This looks so awesome!
The 70k are 75% reached, we can do this.
This is exactly what SC2 needs, a more fun-oriented fresh community-driven approach. (Funnily enough, this might even bring my brother to sc2, who still plays sc:bw because of the more clear 2d graphics)
So yeah, let's go! Maybe even Starcrafts+.... I have a dream.

The funny thing is that some of the big donations have come from people who do not even play SC2 - they just enjoy the cartoons that Carbot makes. For instance one guy called Touji (I think) dropped $1000 and does not even own the game.
Another donor dropped $4705 last night alone and has made big donations before. He has a BattleNet account at least, and has donated probably 10% of the total by now.
The 70K goal will be reached but it seems like it will be due to a small number of individuals not the community. I dropped $115 and will drop some more again next pay check. I would drop more but I am in an upgrade cycle for four of my computers.

This is amazing! How have I just found out about two big crowdfunding sc2 efforts just today (this and the basetrade tourney).

The new version of the tech demo is out. More units, bugs fixed, awesome!
|
It is just shy of $80K now, so we get Patches, and dat zergling with the patch in its mouth. Next up is 82,500 and I want to see it get there so that we get Crackhead (Patches' wingman).

Also the requirement for LotV units was reduced from $95K to $90.

Someone should organize a show match/fund raiser, or some kind of event to bring awareness to this very special project. It may help fully fund the mod. BasetradeTV would be the perfect partners (poke poke)
If not, we can hope Blizzard will match the community passion and donate the rest of the $$ 8)
