Hello all. I am drafting a website about game development and modding, and thought Starcraft 2 would be a good game to start the site out with. What I would like to do is have a website that houses tons of video tutorials for the editor and also has generic gaming videos such as trailers, matches, etc. I would like to do this because instead of having to rely on the search features of Youtube/Google to find relevant material (or the search features of this forum), you could find everything in one place organized in a more intuitive way (example: you want tutorials relating to unit abilities, theres a category for that. You want tutorials relating to validators, there's a category for that. You want basic trigger tutorials, cat-eh-gore-ee.).
Before I get myself too far into this project, I am wondering who would use this free service? If you used it and liked it, would you exclusively use it? What would it need to have in order to pull you away from Youtube et al?
If you want some more info, let me know and I will post away.
I think video tutorials have their greatest value for people who are new to the editor and aren't yet sure where to find things. They can follow along the video to see what menus to access etc.
I prefer written tutorials because they're easier to progress through at my own pace. It's also much easier to CTRL+F and look up a section you need to take a second look at. So I probably wouldn't use something like that unless I couldn't find a good written alternative.
