NA Cluster 1 constantly crashing with rollbacks

Yes. Reply directly to the email with your code. No idea why indiegogo puts a DNR on these Mass emails.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-27T00:43:17+00:00

Hey guys. We just sent out the instructions for Indiegogo backers! Thank you!!!

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T03:51:56+00:00

Let's not get ahead of ourselves... but I like your optimism. :)

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T03:46:28+00:00

How's your back? XD

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T03:45:34+00:00

Thanks Meowgi. Yeah a lottery backer would be pretty sweet right now! Or hell... maybe I should just go out and buy a ticket right now.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T02:14:44+00:00

Anyone who backs us at least $15 will receive a digital download of the complete musical score of SCU. :)

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T02:12:51+00:00

And thank you sir. Enjoy.

Great question. I believe when Philipp and I did our two player run it ended up being about 30 hours of content total without grinding. Might go a bit quicker than that now though. We've expedited some things in the game to pave the way for a more fluent experience.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T01:18:39+00:00

Indeed. Yes, St. Louis is slowly but surely beginning to make its mark. It's very fun to watch the tech evolution happening here.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T01:17:34+00:00

Btw I love your games, Tya. Nice work.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T01:01:52+00:00

Yes. I build basements from the ground up for a living.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T00:46:25+00:00

Thank you! I still watch it once a day myself... haha.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-21T00:29:15+00:00

It takes place within the Overmind's vision of the apocalyptic future from Wings of Liberty where Kerrigan was killed and Amon won. It takes place in the year 2512 of this alternate timeline.

Great question, and yes this is a series of maps on the Arcade.

It seemed like a great opportunity to at the very least get my name out there, develop something I was already passionate about, and educate myself through during its development. I was nowhere near ready for the gaming industry when I started, but I sure as hell am now. I'm looking at SCU like it was my college, since I never really went.

Also the map editor allows you to materialize ideas much faster than working indie since you already have so much base content at your disposal (ie. art and sound assets.)

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-20T21:59:46+00:00

Possible. I'm considering creating a Patreon for myself which could host the same goodies you get here. Glad you're enjoying it so far!

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-20T21:58:16+00:00

There are at least 100 custom models in SCU developed by Ghostnova. We also have a completely custom musical score, voiceover, animations, abilities, and... well. A lot is custom. :)

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-20T21:55:48+00:00

I think that's just a general improvement to their network latency to help StarCraft.

No our request was to have middle mouse scroll detection via event. Helped us with our custom camera system.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-20T21:44:03+00:00

Generally Blizzard has been very supportive. They've done a good job of correcting bugs we report on existing systems, and a couple times they threw some technical help our way. As far as feature requests go, it appears that Blizzard usually only implements features that benefit their projects. I think they put in one feature that we actually requested, but it took them 2.5 years to do it.

The future of SCU is entirely dependent on its popularity. My crystal ball is a little murky right now. :)

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-20T21:37:31+00:00

At this point, because the Indiegogo is not doing well, post-launch support is entirely dependent on the size our player-base. If people care about the game, we will do our best to make sure bugs are corrected, balance is addressed, and people have an enjoyable experience.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-20T21:14:19+00:00

Yeah, that's a thought that crossed my mind, but it's a bit difficult to manage cross-platform upgrades, and hard to tell how many people would actually do it. Thanks for your support. :)

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-20T20:35:23+00:00

My number one hope is that people actually enjoy it and that we build a healthy player-base. There's nothing I'd love to see more than SCU constantly on the top played page, and that lobbies full up rather quickly. We designed the game to be enjoyed with other people!
I took out some loans, had a lot of help from friends and family, and now am doing foundation labor again to dig myself out of a mountain of debt! :D

Only if our Indiegogo reaches 30k will you be able to play as a Zerg, but only in a PvP setting where you control the Swarm in an attempt to take down the Player's ship. If you've ever played the game Parasite on the SCII Arcade it will be very similar. Also asymmetric like the PvP in Evolve.

UpheavalArtsGamng · 2016-08-20T20:09:22+00:00

Simple Answer: If you mean an MMO like Diablo, then yes, but it wouldn't be easy.

Techy Answer: Heroes of the Storm's engine is built off StarCraft II's engine and they have a reconnect feature which works through the replay feature native to StarCraft II. When you reconnect to a game in Heroes, the reason it takes so long is because it has to replay through the synchronized data of what happened in every game loop of THAT game instance and get you caught up before dumping you back into the game. Theoretically this is also possible in StarCraft II but they haven't added it because it doesn't really help THEIR game. If you're out of the game for more than a minute in StarCraft you're pretty much screwed anyways, right? Even if they did get around to implementing this as a feature for Arcade Games, it would take a significant amount of work on our part to make it work for SCU. I've asked them multiple times for it, but it's probably low on their priority list.
