Woah



Welcome to a long requested new contest on Nibbits for September 2011, with several Steam games to win. So get the dust off your Starcraft 2 map editors and get creative!

RULES
  • Maximum of 3 entries per contestant.
  • Map must be Campaign type, so single player
  • It cannot use any custom textures unless these are loaded from the map file itself. (i.e.: no seperate mods)
  • Design must be original, and created by the contestant.
  • Entries must be submitted no later than September 30th (when our clock expires).
  • It must be in the Starcraft 2 universe, so no cross-game entries like Warcraft 3
  • Story must be told and if applicable, spoken in English (subtitles mandatory if custom sound is used)
  • Must be a single-map campaign, so no big story over multiple maps
  • Cinematic scenes must not be longer then 2 minutes total
  • The map must be able to be launched with offline tools like sc2allin1 or the map editor without any special file installation (like Mods in the mod directory etc), so a single file
  • Stolen work will mean disqualification of all your entries
  • The map must have a clear description when uploading it, presentation counts!
  • You will need a working Steam account in order to receive your prize

n.b. The above rules are in some cases guidelines. If for example you need an extra minute of cinematics to make your story and entry better, please do. We have to set some boundaries, don't be afraid to sway a bit off these if it improves your map.

JUDGING
Maps will be judged by the community, but ultimately the decision will be made by the site staff. We will post all submissions on October 1st where everyone can review the entries and comment on them, and the winners will be chosen by October 20th. Your map will be judged based on the following criteria:
  • Map Design (10 points max)
  • Cinematics (10 points max)
  • Storyline (10 points max)
  • Gameplay (10 points max)
  • Originality (10 points max)

So you can earn a maximum of 50 points on your entry

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.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
