wth is starcraft

Script Frenzy is an international event where participants try to write a 100 page script over the course of the 30 days of April. If you've participated in NaNoWriMo before, its a lot like that - and is hosted by the same people.

You can write any script you want, sit com, drama, movie, made for tv movie, graphic novel, stage script...its all up to you. They have awesome resources on the website for good programs (I prefer Celtx) and formatting advice.

More information: http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/eng/whatisscriptfrenzy

Is anyone going to participate with me? :kame:

Woah

I'll participate. I'll start writing on day 1, and hope I'm motivated to actually finish.

I'll probably end up with twice that much for Apex, but I most certainly won't be releasing any of it.



Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

You don't have to release it, in fact I don't think they have anyway to validate it except the honor system.

From what I've read, you upload something to verify it. But since the uploaded file isn't saved, you can replace every letter in the script with "A" or whatever, and upload that version since it just counts page numbers.

Ah, I knew they did that for NaNoWriMo, but I figured it was too subjective to do the page count thing in a validater.

Woah

Oh, maybe that's what I'm thinking of.

EDIT:
Nope, it is Script Frenzy I was talking about.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
