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!
Last time I uploaded, it failed after 2 minutes but after publishing it again it continued and finished after a few seconds. And the new version was online. Am I the only one with that feature?
Now we just need to kill the 2 minute limit.
Or 15 small melee maps of 1MB and 5 custom map of 17MB
Both total size, size per map and map increased ? So now we can have 20 maps 5MB each or 5 maps 20 MB each.
Wow, 20MB...Now all I need is... an upload speed of 167KB/s to bypass the 2 minute limit!
Reminds me of the Sega Saturn game, Dragon Force where you have to choose different formation styles to combat the opposing general's army, it changes based on whether you're up against footman, cavalry, mages, archers, etc.
Yay seconded.
This news is most excellent.
Does anybody know when Blizzard will integrate it?
Yess! I remember when it was just 5, and everybody was overjoyed that they made it 10! lol
All I can say, is, Hell, its about time!
HOLY @%&@% *@*&*(#%@*#%*(@#( YYAYYAYAYAYYAYAYAYYAYAYYAYYAYAYYAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAY
Fuck yeah! map space! I like this :) I think 100Mb should be enough and 20 Mb per map is also pretty good, since we can add mods :p Great change
Finally! We can actually create good maps now with added extras without worrying about a low size limit!
