Veteran Mapper

Gaming is pretty much my thing. I have N64, Gamecube, Wii, PS3, and of course a PC.
The original Starcraft is my oldest and most played game. I also play Blizzards newer titles like Starcraft 2, Heroes of the Storm, and Overwatch.
Over the past 7 years, I have created (I forget how many, at least 20) maps. With 80% of them completed and a few betas on the way, I bring an interesting variety and outlook to Starcraft.
My projects do not have outstanding popularity, but this is only because they do not get much "exposure" as compared to the super-popular maps that roam around.
Now, I ask you these questions: Do you find playing the same "popular" maps (over and over again) boring? Do you wish new maps would be created and played? I can grant you this wish. All you need to do is help spread my work to other players. Together, we can teach SC:BW players that new maps are just as good as the old ones.
I'll get to posting my projects on SEN as soon as I can.
I may occasionally open a discussion for my next map to make.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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