Starcraft: Resurrection (working title)
A ten-mission campaign, starring the Protoss, in which you confront a sinister foe--or join him.
Progress: 16/20 Missions Complete
-Ideas
•Branching campaign. You choose whose side you're on three missions into the thing.
-Triggers
•Um...the standard ones, I guess. I am so sick of typing "Kelaris must survive"...
-General Campaign Features
•Two fake cinematic sequences! Maybe three!
•Replay value! You'll need to play it twice to get everything.
•A mod! That's right, I'll be submitting a mod to go with the campaign, to be run in two missions. Let's just say if you thought the Protoss were godly, you ain't seen nothing yet...
Specifications
-Players
•Single player.
-Map size
•All sorts of sizes. This template doesn't work very well for campaigns...
Storyline / Introduction
You, the player, are the Protoss War Tribune (shut up, I have creative license). When an obscure Terran research station is overwhelmed by the Zerg, you are forced into investigating, thereby uncovering a sinister plot. I'm not telling any more. No spoilers here. Unless someone insists.
Features
-Player Interface
Um...the usual way. You click units and tell them where to go.
-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
•The whole campaign branches after mission 3, right up to mission 10.
•**SPOILER** You die after mission 8. Then things get REALLY crazy.
Details
-Characters
•Kelaris, a Praetor and the hero of the campaign
•Judicator Seral, the leader of the Conclave
•Axon, another leader of the Conclave, who hates your guts.
•The Progenitor. The best description is "WHAT THE HECK?"
•And others! I think I've used almost every hero! With a different name!
-Weapons
•Psi Blades. Phase Disruptors. See comment on map size.
-Other stuff
•Literary references! I am hopeless.
•Variety in gameplay! All sorts of missions.
•Did I mention the mod and the fake movies?
•Drama! Well, more than in Blizzard's crappy storylines...
•Zealots! Duh. You aren't going to have pre-deployed Protoss missions w/o Zealots.
Screenshots / Demo
The first mission![attachmentid=17949]It's supposed to be fairly easy, so don't worry if it is.
Made with Production Template (which sucks for campaigns! Sorry, guys...)
PROGRESS TREE:
OMission 1: Firestorm
OMission 2: Defiance
OMission 3: The Maladyne
OCinematic: The Sentence
OMission 4a: Failure to Communicate-----OMission 4b: Conversion Factor
OMission 5a: Slavery-----------------------OMission 5b: Progenitor's Blessing

OMission 9a: Betrayal----------------------OMission 9b: Orestes
OMission 10a: Deus Ex Anima-------------OMission 10b: Deus Ex Anima
Circles indicate that it's done.
That's pretty much everything. Tell me if you want more info. The whole thing will probably be done by next week. And this seemed like the best place to post this. Please post constructive criticism or requests for more info if you so choose.

This seems to be not true to the starcraft legacy. Its always nice to have some new ideas for something but when you are applying it to a game already made, you have to decrease your imaginative ideas and go somewhat with the flow of starcraft. Besides that, it sounds good.

Who the hell cares whether it's to the starcraft legacy? As long as it's fun, it's all good.

So it can follow the farking story so it isn't a made up wonderland. I believe that atleast 3/4 of the people who enjoy starcraft will agree with me. Otherwise, it should not be called starcraft.

I agree with Mp)Marine!!
You really shouldn't bend the story like you did, maybe make it more like the regular game, and keep it original!!!!

How am I to make it original if I make it like the regular story? I will make my story however I darn well please. Let me put what I do this way:
•Basic structure of society and such: Same
•Names of people: Different
•Much history of the world: Same
If you prefer, I can change the name. This title IS tentative and subject to change. If you have concrete suggestions, I will be happy to listen. Otherwise, please stop bugging me. That is all.

That's your prerogative. If I made maps solely so others would play them, I'd consider myself a pretty poor map maker. It would be nice if you did, but I won't stop you. I simply hope that some people will decide to.
UPDATE: Two more missions down! Eight more to go!

Ah...thank you, I think. Anyway, I've almost finished Mission 10. Still got to do 6b, 7a, and both 8s. Probably a cinematic at the campaign's end, too. I'm posting a tree showing what's made so far in the first post here. Anyway, I'm making good progress and will be done by next weekend (April 1) unless I get sidetracked. Cool, no? If anyone wants a demo, I can post Mission 1.

Sounds great! Post Mission 1

First mission posted! Without the "next scenario" trigger, of course. It's meant to be pretty easy. Enjoy!
UPDATE: I'm not actually going to do the last cinematic. There's going to be a bit of a closing, of course, but I'll leave it up to each person to make their own ending. And this way I could make a sequel if I so chose.
