Go join in on the fun that is the Galaxy Editor Memes thread, :). Blizzard also released some new fan art and more comics!

Custom Map Storage Increased from Blizzard

All I have to say is, yay!

Quote:

In an effort to help make StarCraft II map publishing more flexible and convenient, we've recently made several changes to custom map storage, increasing all three storage variables for publishing maps online:

• Total custom map slots increased from 10 to 20
• Individual custom map space increased from 10 MB to 20 MB
• Total storage space increased from 50 MB to 100 MB

Whether you're someone who enjoys creating a large number of smaller melee maps, or if you prefer creating fewer, but significantly larger maps, we hope mapmakers of all shapes and sizes will benefit from these changes.

If you haven't yet taken a crack at the StarCraft II editor, head on over to our Maps and Mods page (http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/maps-and-mods/) for some mapmaking tutorials, as well as more information on official Blizzard mods we've made to show off what the editor is capable of.

Formation Defense 2.0 by wingednosering

Test your skills as a commander in this tactical defense game, where you and up to six other players attempt to protect your colony from hordes of enemies, while saving as many refugees as you can. The map has a very simple layout, allowing newcomers to sink their teeth into the standard defense formula while rewarding those who stick with the map with a wealth of strategic choices and abilities. Be warned: reaching and completing the final level, even on the easiest settings, is no easy task.

Equipped with its own set of achievements, nine factions to play as, multiple difficulty settings, multiple ways to win, and a simple, yet effective tech tree, this game provides a ton of replayability, while giving everybody enough options to grant them a comfortable challenge.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and defend your colony!
