To say it's heavily inspired by StarCraft 2 is an understatement... I was wondering at points if it's not some kind of mod.

You’re not kidding. Legit looks like someone just took the models from StarCraft and then freshened them up. Protoss Terran Zerg, all of them. In fact you could have removed the context and just showed me the raw footage and I would have arrived at the same conclusion, that it was a mod.

I think that the game exists because all the SC2 pros decided that the game is starting to become a bit too old and blizzard cannot be trusted with making games anymore so they gotta make starcraft 3 themselves.

[–] Russianranger 2 points 1 year ago

You’re not wrong. Any and all faith I had in Blizzard went away over the course of the past decade, with it evaporating completely during the past 3 years. I don’t even want to think how they’ll muck up SC3 at this rate.

It looks amazing! That said, I backed The Repopulation and Star Citizen on Kickstarter...I'm hesitant to put my money into "hopefully a game" when I can use it now on released games.

Yeah, their KS goal being US$100k is a low budget for something they're expecting to take two years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

they dont expect to be funded only by kickstarter unless they get like ten times the goal but its more to see if people want that sort of game to possibly help securing publisher funding or just fund themselves like they have done the years until now
