:payne:

Anyone knows what happened to both these guys?
I have a few projects, some secret, some not, from them that were probably never released, and I was wondering if it'd be a good idea to simply release them now that they aren't active anymore/left the mapping scene...
Enlighten me!



None.

Gotta say haven't seen them in donuts in quite some time. I did know they communicated to each other using MSN or whatever. Sam might know more.

Just here for the pie

I saw them in donuts recently. Also, I'd say you should release the maps. It'd better to preserve them than potentially lose them forever.

Do you mean like Nightfall and stuff? Dude you should probably wait like at least another year before releasing their shit without permission. Send them PMs or something if you care so much.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Indeed, don't release their stuff without permission.
Kaias is still around once in a while for support with Oreo Triggers.
So the best course of action would be to PM him. Or maybe someone can give you a way to contact them via IM or eMail which would probably be faster.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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
