It has ex Starcraft people on it and looks like it has the backing of Riot Games? @_@


edit: Tasteless has been in contact with them before this was announced. Nerd chills Tasteless.

In its "core values" bit, it mentions "main" and "natural", which are sc2-related terms, right ? It's not mainstream RTS game language ?

It could be good if they look to sc2 for inspiration !

Key people includes former SC2 Production Director Tim Morten, Wastland 3 Game Director and TFT campaign designer Tim Campbell, TL's very own monk (!), creator of Game Heart Ryan Schutter, and senior writer at Blizzard Micky Neilson.

That would be awesome. Hard to get super excited because I remember Day9 working on an RTS a long time ago and that ended up failing and being a different game iirc. The more RTS's the better, currently we only have aoe4 to be excited about (will for me).
When I think of something else, something will go here

I'm looking at the people listed on this site and now I really think Blizzard should just reveal the name of the 1 person working on SC2 so we can communicate directly with them.

SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

Would really be interesting to know what are this company's key people's thoughts on what features a "next generation" RTS should have. Even if ofc most of those ideas wouldn't end up in the end product it'd be fun to see which ended up making the cut and which didn't, or how some evolved during the development process.

rly ?

Guys behind Frost Giant worked on games like SC2 and WC3 before, so imo it can't be even compared to Day9 working on a game. Those guys actually made the best RTS games ever created, it's hard not get your hopes up on this one.

StarCraft was the first real esports and that game had resources at specific places and maps were made for natural progress in expanding the economy. Having commentatirs and an active scene helped making standard terms and phrases.
It is possible that StarCraft was the origin of these terms, but it is highly likely that SC popularized them.
However, they are not unique to SC. Any RTS with resources spread in a similar way use these terms as well.

Always nice to hear about more people getting into the RTS space. Given typical RTS timelines we'll be lucky if the game gets released by 2023 though.

I hope it will be a real RTS like SC2 not a pretend RTS like WC3.
SC2 has the perfect balance of macro and micro.

If too little macro it becomes shallow like WC3.

If too little micro it becomes too similar to Age of Empires, which although being a great game, is not as masterpiece like SC2.

I think the website is down from all the traffic.

Here's an article with most of the info:

You haven't played or watched aoe2 very much if you think it has too little micro.

I just see that you have no idea about AoE when you said too little micro, let me laugh at your comment lol.
