SC2Mapster

Well after spending an insane amount of time (well over 1 year) learning and working, and with the help of this awesome community, I'm releasing my project: LifeForce.

It's in late, late beta now and and am just optimizing a few things, so if you like epic single player campaigns that have:

- an upgrade panel that carries over between missions, like a Bliz campaign

- all new units/heroes/abilities/upgrades tech tree

- A storyline that considers your choices and changes depending on your actions

- 3 difficulties

- a ton of polish, testing and balancing work so it's professional and bug-free

...this could be just the SC2 experience you've been waiting for.

I have a lot of contacts in the web design industry so I had someone whip this up for me, would love to know what you think. Check my sig below. Thanks guys

EDIT: Here's a fresh gameplay video, feast your eyes :)

website looks awesome, great presentation :)

looks cool, i signed up! Btw nice website, really like the simple scrolling design

I turned sigs off, because some people put there shittons of useless shit I don't care about. So post the link explicitly.

So this is what you've been up to all this time! Looking good, though your website doesn't work properly for me. I can click pictures, but doing so simply takes me to the top of the page - doesn't seem intentional.

Will have a look, soon, hopefully...

Clicking on the pictures does the same for me. It would be nice if clicking the pictures enlarged them in some manner.

Everyone that enjoys SC2 single player campaigns should sign up to get the first 4 missions on July 15. You won't be dissapointed!

Cant wait to try look so good!

Congratz! Do you have a facebook?

Thanks!

Tha looks interesting, I'd like to play. When willl it appear on bnet as a full campaign?

One year is alot of time, how did you manage to keep yourself motivated?

@AlexO6: Go

There's a few screenshots on the Lifeforce website you can check out.

Also, I have two very short clips of gameplay in my video here (the very first clip and at 1:04):

Full gameplay videos will be released at a later time and date.

Unfortunately bnet doesn't support single player campaigns like this. If it was just one mission, fine, but the file sizes are too large and the bank files too complex to fit what Blizzard says it wants on bnet. So until that changes, I'll just send you all the map files next Friday (be sure to sign up, I'll send it out to the whole sign-up list at launch).

As for the motivation thing, I don't have any "trick." I'm just passionate about my map-making. It doesn't take any willpower for me (in fact, it's actually the opposite... sometimes I have to force myself away from optimizing 1 more trigger or terraining 1 more area when the duties of real life call). I'm just drawn to learning, creating, and testing my maps in the same way I hope all you guys are drawn to playing them :)

Uploading a gameplay snippet now, good god YouTube uploads take forever.

Also, thanks Deltron for your support throughout this, you're the man.

I have played the first two missions so far and it has been awesome!!

@Hockleberry: Go

Thanks for the compliment :)

Official map page is up! </shameless self promotion>

I wanted to have a "release" sort of set up like a real game where everyone gets it at the same time (rather than whatever order they happen to wander to the site). If you don't want to give up your email nbd you can download directly as well

But... your e-mail is in your profile?

Seriously though - does anyone still have issues with spam mails these days? I haven't gotten any in my actual inbox in years.
