VILE EGRESSION 2 : THE REVENGE!
On August 1st, 2009, Laconius dropped a bomb on the StarCraft community: his epic Protoss campaign Vile Egression. Though some may have been worried by the campaign's seemingly short length, this three map project in fact contained hours of gameplay, some of the most unique and interesting mechanics we've seen in a StarCraft campaign yet. But we all know the gameplay was not the most important part of this campaign. Vile Egression's stunning storyline carried its characters through turmoil and war, showing us that in the face of impossible dangers and anguish, we can press on and triumph and find hope. Even during the Zerg invasion of Aiur, the practical genocide of the Protoss people, the protagonists' love for each other carried them through. No other campaign has matched this level of emotional poignancy, even though so many have tried to rip off Vile Egression since its release.
That's why I'm proud to announce our tribute to Laconius' awesome campaign: Crescendo Entertainment's own official sequel! Vile Egression 2: The Revenge begins its monthly release today! It's been a dream of ours for years to give an homage to Vile Egression, and we at Crescendo Entertainment are so glad that we have finally seized the opportunity. But this joyous occasion is also met with tragedy; for merely three years ago, our beloved Laconius passed peacefully away in his sleep.
Laconius, you were an inspiration, and your legacy will carry you on. We still cannot believe you passed on so young. You'll live on in our memory, as you have taught us so much.
Lac, rest in peace. May your soul find release. We won't forget you.
