The Galaxy Editor is not out yet however it is still possible to start working on maps. I will show you different projects that have already been started by the Mapster community.

Contra by yuggren

yuggren, a chinese map maker, made the first scenario map: Contra. You control a hero with 3 different weapons and 5 abilities. Your goal is to defeat the various packs of zergs all around the map. It takes its roots from the tower defense and makes great use of all the hero stuff we just discovered. PixelWarrior and I recorded gameplay videos to give you a preview. The english version is not perfect since yuggren's native language is chinese, he is looking for help in that area.

Patch Diff by Grum

Patch Notes provided by Blizzard are far from reflecting all the changes done between 2 versions of the game. Grum had a brilliant idea, he just used the diff feature of GitHub with the game files. The result is a comprehensive diff of all the changes done in a patch.

Mwcomsimgoakrozsm by Corbo

The Starcraft Ghost third person shooter now has a name (My Wife Cheated On Me So I'M Going On A "Kicking ass Rampage On Zerg" Suicide Mission) and even a trailer! Check this out, it looks really promising.

• Ambience, Yes! Modified lights so it gets an space look (no atmospherical colored), fow and fog have also been modified as well as unit's vision sight to give it a more creepy look and increase the game's suspense.
• Camera, locked camera to third person shooter mode. Camera doesn't follow unit, but you can rotate it 360°
• Custom terrain, or more like bunch of doodads added to give it a different look than the original map (Metalopolis)
