Just a heads up, the new mission i've uploaded of silent scream is not nearly polished enough to be played. Im actually unsure if the whole concept works at all. I might completely scrap it and move the plot points elsewhere. the entire campaign is idle at the moment though, im having way too much stuff going in in real life. As the story is already posted in one of the pages of the project , if someone wants to take over and do something , it'd be awesome.
It's okay, sometimes in life there are times when you need to focus on the things that matter most. But remember that you can never make something good without investing time into it, whether it's mapmaking, school, work, or anything else, so you don't need to abandon it. Just work on it whenever you feel like and take your time!

I am sure lots of people will lose their mind on boss fights. I once almost threw my ps3 controller into a wall after such hard and frustrating boss battle.
But I know the great feeling of "yes!, I did it!" after you've finally beat that hard boss all far too well.
Before the agenda, make sure to check out the testing thread this week - it requires a small group playing it. PM me or Deltron and we can set up a time before next Tuesday!
Stuff that is actively being worked on (based on the best of my knowledge):
A Silent Scream
Discord
The Hammer of Dawn
Legacy of the Confederation (sooner than you may expect)
Annihilation
Antioch Remastered
Odyssey
Enslavers Redux (I was a tester for this and have admittedly fallen off the wagon - I need to jump back on ASAP)
Mass Recall 6.0
Ascendency
Limpid
Survivors
Unknown status, maybe abandoned, not sure based on radio silence:
Shadow of the Brood (final mission)
Morals
Revenants
Legacy of Liberty
Path of the Damned
Gradius Zerg campaign
I expect Legacy of the Confederation to be very prevalent on my channel once they are released as I have had some consistent communications with The Oracle about it.
For WC3, I just started To the Bitter End, which is very cool, but also riddled with copyrighted music so it's sort of a pain in the ass to make sure the videos don't get taken down. The options for WC3 are incredibly abundant so I don't plan too far ahead for which series' I plan to start in the future. SC1 continues to be interesting though also filled with copyrighted music, haha... Finishing up the Celestial Stories campaign series, then probably on to the Vision of the Future series of campaigns.
As always, feel free to let me know of things I may have missed or if I'm wrong about the status of any campaigns in the above lists.

Mass Recall 6.0 should be out within maybe a week or two! I plan on making a new series for it and I assume there will be a 6.1 as I progress. I'm part of their beta testing and can see the issues list so I know nothing should be overtly broken, hence I plan on starting very soon after it's release rather than waiting for the first patch. I've considered playing SC1 simultaneously, releasing those videos on the same day, but that's also a pretty big time commitment.
My Replicant showcase series is finishing up this week and I'm going to play the newest 3 Silent Scream maps after. I predict Mass Recall being released by then and will start it at that point. If it gets pushed out there's a new Marauders map and a new Annihilation map as well. Mass Recall will be a very long series and there may be weeks where I do 2 a week instead of 3 so that I can open a day up for other things at my discretion. I could also leave a gap between each of the 6 campaigns for other videos. This will allow for a lot of the in progress stuff to be worked on though and I look forward to playing them when the time comes!

I think it will vary. I know some like the Queen, Corsair, and Reaver are being replaced with their respective LotV models. The controversial (if you could even call it that) one is the Dragoon and they've chosen to use their existing one. I personally like their one better than the LotV asset when it comes to best representing the SC1 Dragoon, but at the end of the day I'm pretty ambivalent.

The LoTV Dragoon will be used for Fenix, which I'm cool with, because the LoTV Dragoon looks a lot more sleek and Fenix deserves a more advanced model.
I'm still working on the retro mod, which is going to have a bunch of new models too, but it will come after the main release as well, probably when 6.1 is out.
Jay, would you be willing to do a play through of my extension mod Koprulu: Legacy? possibly with the creator and some other testers (anyone want to there is a sc2mapster chat channel). I find that it works best for 2v2 games.
Be sure to check out the extension mod: Hots Custom Map support on NA and EU, Despite the name it greatly expands the roster of options for the default 3 races and is updated all the way to NCO.
Sounds cool! What about sending me a replay to cast?

Been awhile since I updated! I do this mostly for my own reference, but in case anyone else is curious:
Mass Recall is my primary SC2 series
StarCraft Universe VODs secondarily on some days
more HeptaCraft casts and tournaments
miscellaneous campaign maps that flesh out series I've already started such as Wrath of the Tal'Darim, Hammer of Dawn, Marauders, Annihilation, etc on some days (again, alongside Mass Recall)
looking into the WC1 and WC2 remakes in WC3
Bob Levels in SC1
Everyone needs to try StarCraft Universe if they haven't. I'm going to try to set some time aside to make instructional videos for beginners who may struggle with common things that confused me a bit such as how the gear system generally works. I also planned on starting a retrospective series on campaigns that I've played in the past that would be a 10 min rundown to advertise to people not familiar with the custom campaign scene in general. I wrote a script for Crimson Moon and have since gotten very busy with both other video series and my work life IRL. Anyway, it's ambitious to say I'll definitely do this stuff, but I'd eventually like to.

Sounds Nice. Like the 10 min rundown Idea. I don't know how you manage it all , with every day life :). But I am glad you do. By the way, do plan to do more interviews? Like with the creators of starcraft universe or the Mass recall team?
I'm going to try to set some time aside to make instructional videos for beginners who may struggle with common things that confused me a bit such as how the gear system generally works.
Love this idea. A tutorial on how the gear system works, ship transit, basic combat, etc. would be super helpful to beginners and would help motivate people to play and stick with it. I actually think the most common question on SCU's facebook is "How do I play this?" So even just quickly showing this in the tutorial would be helpful as some people who want to try it out may have never played SC2 before.

I would be happy to help with any of this if you want. Just let me know.

Check out my YouTube channel for test playthroughs of custom campaigns as well as editor tutorial videos. Mapmakers, don’t hesitate to PM me if you would like me to test your campaign.
Re: creator interviews, yes absolutely! The Oracle made a soft promise to me in the past that he would come chat with me once the LotC remake is released, the lead SCU creator agreed to come chat with me (plus Deltron and Azothan presumably!), and I have a great rapport with Telenil so I'm hopeful he and/or Jones will want to have another chat about Mass Recall.
I'm interested in talking with any creator as long as they are comfortable with their English speaking and are willing to be recorded!
I think you, Azothan, and I should talk about some ideas on tutorial videos. I was going to boot up Prologue 1 and make short, digestible videos on the topics you mentioned, but it would mostly be me winging it so it would definitely be a good idea if we collaborated.

Agree 110%. Plus you only need the Starter Edition to play so it should be much more accessible to a wider audience in theory.
