But there's another way. One can only bring his game design skills to the new engine. In sc2 we had a great possibility to receive almost immediate feedback from the players across battlenet and gain better vision of what players like to play and what is boring. So, if someone thinks his game idea has proven to be popular as sc2 map, he can hire coders and artists and implement his game in unity as a game designer and team leader. I think it's what Karawasa did.
That is exactly what I did except instead of hiring people I asked them to join in as partners. The history of the map (don't forget WC3) helped tremendously.
Hey guys I just wanted to say that Element TD is coming to your phone soon. The Android version will be released on the 15th. iOS coming shortly thereafter.
Thank you to everyone I met here back in the day. I couldn't have made the map without you guys.
if you want to make money... GTFO of starcraft 2 and go learn code or something... your wasting your time and the player bases...
There are certainly better ways to make money with your time...but money can be made modding Blizzard games. Just look at Dark.Revenant. He has made the most out of anyone else on SC2. I'm sure he has generated five figures. I place him as the third most successful at monetizing their mod. Second would be me. First is obviously DotA.
I don't understand why some of you guys are against it. If you keep your map free then you should actually get more players as maps that go premium will lose some people. I'm all for the system. I just don't think it will amount to much...and that anyone holding their breath is delusional.
Why not? It can bring some professionals into the market, if it's profitable any company could start doing mods for SC2 like for the app store.
Sure the amount of customers is not so wide but it's still a new market!
That's a big if. I highly doubt it will bring professionals into the market. My point is that if you're waiting to make money then your time could be better spent elsewhere.
Instead of complaining, why dont you use the time to create an awesome map and make some profit? :)
I'm not complaining nor do I have any problem with it. I just think it is foolish to hold your breath. If you want to make profit there are far better ways to spend your time.
I think this is a case of letting the market decide for itself. If people want to play something that hasn't been updated in over a year...you can't fix stupid.

Thank you! I actually didn't learn Unity (see below).

Since this is now featured on EU and NA I figured it would be a good time to reintroduce this.
Any and every suggestion welcome. Discuss!

Oh you are so wrong.

I'm sure Blizzard will do it. What I meant was it's not worthwhile enough for mappers to wait for.

I didn't even know this existed until recently. I'm pumped! Who else is playing?
