ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO

I somehow came to these screenshots on an spanish site.
I don't know if you guys have seen this but I felt like posting so.

Can anyone confirm the first screenshot? Cause that looks... so nothing like Starcraft.
I spotted some tiles and other stuff that I might be stealing to make SC stuff out of it (modding wise)
I also saw some weird stuff like the beta buildings being on desert. Makes me think it's a fake screenshot or modded SC since they are shadowless as well...



fuck you all

Ya, but I mean. It's like completely different. The graphics, the GUI, everything.

I recognize screenshot 2 because I had seen the creep before (in one of mesks mods I think) and the crystals on the floating meteor but SS1 was just made of fail.



fuck you all

The later pictures were obviously mods- they were on campaign maps for BW.



None.

From what I had heard about this before, these are screenshots of what Starcraft was before the critics took a piss on it and said that it was too much like WarCraft II (now where the hell did they get that idea? >.<). I'm kinda happy they pushed Blizzard into overhauling it though ;)

EDIT: There's a nice little source http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/StarCraft_alpha



None.

Pre-alpha. Still conceptual.

Are you sure about that?

Lol, I found these pictures on teh internet ages ago... The pre alpha zerg buildings are avialable for download somewhere around. I think they're on ModsDB (the actual webpage, not SeN's DB).

Symmetry -- :wob:

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[04:25 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
