What is it ?

I deeply believe that StarCraft 1 campaign is the best RTS campaign ever made, I decided to make the experience re-enjoyable for veteran players for who, StarCraft campaign has become too easy.

Why ? What about the other remakes ?

There are of course, other remakes aiming to make the campaign harder, there was StarCraft insane (but I didn't like it, I even suspect some maps to be simply undoable) and StarCraft hardmode (Which truly was an amazing work, but it deviated too much from the original campaign in my opinion).

Briefly said, I wanted to make my own remake. :)

For who ?

For people who truly love StarCraft 1 campaign, but to whom its difficulty is not thrilling anymore.

What has been done ? What more to be made ?

I did the first 3 episodes, Rebel Yell, Overmind & the Fall. I want to do the 3 remaining episodes & I'm working on it.
I don't deserve much credits, it's not much work actually (basically adding scripted waves, static defenses, new enemy players, starting techs for the enemy & testing the map), I'm satisfied if my maps are not "easy", but not absurdly undoable either.
Also, I tried to respect the introduction of the different units in the campaign (I didn't put enemy Ultralisks in the first mission for exemple) as if Blizzard made its campaign, but for masochistic players.

More harder version of SC? I'll take it gladly! Since it's work on progress I'll be able to test it next year in January, you might finish some episodes by then, currently my hands are busy with Hard Mode Brood War.
Wanted to take a brief look but link is invalid.

Yea, I don't know what happened, I'm trying to upload it another way since the file is too big to be hosted directly in a message.
Here you go: https://mega.nz/file/U6UlzaiD#5JHJczk0wD0iMwvkHqrggrvG2PJ0DgAq5d3uQiaw4Mk

I myself am very busy, so I won't work on my SC maps very often. :P

Okay, I've done the whole SC 1 campaign but harder, I might be working on BW soon. I shared a download link in the first post. I hope this will please some fans. Don't hesitate to tell me if some maps need a complete reworking, if they are too cheap or too easy.

Enjoy. :)

Oh_Man -- what units would u want to see in a second SC1 expansion? Green Archon? Terran Viking? Baneling?

Oh_Man -- Blizzard should go the WoW classic route - give us a second expansion for Starcraft 1!

l)ark_ssj9kevin -- I ended up buying it :(

dumbducky -- Kinda wild I never played it.

Ultraviolet -- kinda wild that SC:R is approaching a decade old at this point
[2025-3-12. : 6:26 pm]
NudeRaider -- doesn't change much of my argument. That's still 15 years ago. And they went the "lazy" route and used the sc2 engine for, which obviously is more limited (but way quicker) than rendering everything from scratch.

Ultraviolet -- I haven't even paid enough attention to remastered cinematics to even compare to what that guy did
[2025-3-12. : 6:06 pm]
Ultraviolet -- think he was comparing what that guy did to SC:R's cinematics more than SC2's cinematics
[2025-3-12. : 6:00 pm]
NudeRaider -- That said, I like the gritty look of his more than what they did with the sc2 cinematics where everything is just glowy and polished. This is just more fitting of a war scenario and captures the desperation of the Protoss better..

NudeRaider -- Oh_Man
Oh_Man shouted: how can one person surpass entire video game company, none of SCBW's cinematics got remastered liek this
they weren't really remade, just rerecorded in hd or something. It's now over 25 years after they were made, tools and techniques have improved a lot and are much more accessible.
