They are working, I occasionally talk to Mille and Ryan Winzen on StarCraft II and they tell with very much emphasize that they are still developing the mod. Also, try to create a map that is similar to SCU, I already am developing one like it, however, I don't really plan on joining their team unless they offer me a position.
@ttosaj Battle.net will be the server. Character progression will be persistent, meaning, you will be able to save up to three characters; their level, items, abilities, guild, achievements, etc. will all be saved.
This should totally become an actual MMO and not just a fan made game. I mean, it already looks better and seems more playable than most other MMOs out there nowadays.
What, I'm really curious about is cities. Would they be like little outposts. And you can go inside the Command Centre (for Terran) like you can go inside the Temple of the Moon in Darnassus?
This is incredible! My jaw dropped seeing this. I did hear a rumor, so I looked into it and wow. Very impressed and very interested in getting this when it's released! I've been a Starcraft fan ever since it came out and seeing this just made my day! I'm glad Blizzard is supporting this. Most companies would go berserk and sue the hell out of the people. I'll be eagerly waiting for its release! :D
@CreationArtist25 Technically you could save more than 3 characters, but loading them will be a pain in the arse, because you would have to constantly go to your XML files and save/load them up BEFORE running SC or the map. One question, is it going to be paper doll, because that would be awesome.
1. Open Starcraft II and log into battle.net 2. Click on "Arcade" 3a. Search for SC Universe or... 3b. Click Spotlight (if you're not there already); SCU will be one of the first things that appears The rest needs no explanation. Just press Play, wait for it to load, start the game and have fun!
Truly an ambitious project. I've always loved StarCraft more than WarCraft, and was upset that Blizzard never produced a "World of StarCraft" game. This may be the only reason I buy StarCraft 2. Can't wait for the official release.
I hope this has a lot of hybrids in it, seeing as Zeratul seems to be talking about them. but what I REALLY want is for the Viking to be able to transform to air! Go Vikings!!! xD
@Muflex04 Wow was originally a PVE only game, they added PVP to appease the players that wanted it, balance has always been prioritized towards PVE since it was the main aspect of the game. I don't play it, but you should get your facts straight :P
No rush, but don't forget to keep workin' on this mod! Looks like you guys have something really good going and by the views/likes on this video alone it looks like there will be lots of players! Me included. Don't sweat it. Best of luck on making a great mod!
i guess you are right, i know they aren't looking for members but i feel they are not working anymore, or they have not a lot of time for it. For the moment i have a couple of map published but its not my best, i should do something better, thanks for the advice
@SunBelowClouds Actually, I think he didn't get it. He was talking about it on one of our interviews. If your interested, the recording is here livestream . com/sc2streamster/video?clipId=pla_41709c3f-e371-4ab7-ac37-52d6dd0db0b0&
Much appreciated! If you'd like to help us out by donating, you can head over to our website posted in the description box and click on the donate button. Thanks so much! :)
i really wonder how you guys are not contacted by blizzard? i mean cmon, the work you guys doing is IMPRESSIVE, i can'T wait to see this live on sc2 :o
@masterprivate118 Actually anyone can play this. Some individuals with poor computers may need to play on lower graphics settings, but it works fine. Furthermore Blizzard has been making some pretty massive improvements to game performance over battle.net which has consequently resulted in improvements within SCU. We will come up with minimum and recommended computer specifications for SCU in the near future. :)
They aren't looking actively for any members at the moment, and even if they are, you should have a portfolio and sample of what you can do for the best chance to get into the team.
@NewskoolGamerzNSGZ All data is stored clientside. It's not blizzard-employed and I doubt blizz would put that much effort into a project like this without any money coming back. Because it's a custom game written by normal developers in Starcraft, the save files would be saved in XML, the only way to currently save any data.
I tried the game and fell in love but I have one question: Many more maps here are shown and are working well. If your running a beta you should let us try new maps so we can report bugs and glitches that you might not have been able to find.
@jcdenton2k Addon and mod authors like this are (or should be) aware of the implications what they're doing before they start. You can't take someone else's product, tweak it slightly, then try to get money for your tweak. The only change WoW made to addon authors was preventing them from actively soliciting donations in the game itself. And just because an addon author makes something good, doesn't mean blizzard is banned from trying to improve the functionality of their game...
Well, there are "many" mods trying to recreate the fps style or thirth person, but most of the time battle.net have a small minimum delay which is much bigger than in normal fps. By making a map of this kind, it will surely lag caus of battle.net delay. I'm not scared about lag ingame, just need an option to set the Camera,s maximum range and there you go. But for b.net you can't change the delay with the servers... Still, good luck.
This looks. EPIC. It will be the even more amazing version of WoW, you guys really are awesome and you have my full support. I honestly can't wait till this comes out, but don't rush produtction, take all the time you need to make this perfect. Oh and btw, I noticed that 8 zergs didn't like this video because they know we're coming for their asses.
My question.... is there going to be a server for this or will it be requiring rerolls every time you want to play. and you have to wait for other players to join the game.
@XBommelXx Fyi Starcraft Universe IS Sc2, it's a fanmade mod/custom game, meaning you have to get Starcraft 2 to play it.
They are working, I occasionally talk to Mille and Ryan Winzen on StarCraft II and they tell with very much emphasize that they are still developing the mod.

@JordanTylerDurland I was making a reference to an old WoW webcomic where the Blizz studio had a Starcraft Galaxies poster on the wall.
@The1xFalcon
I didn't have in mind the engine, but a those boss encounters are very similar to those in WoW. :)
I just hope this will be half as good as it looks.
This should totally become an actual MMO and not just a fan made game. I mean, it already looks better and seems more playable than most other MMOs out there nowadays.

I liked the part with the flashy effects :D
@BlackBunik Well, Blizzard is making a FPS MMO. It's currently called Titan.
Who in their right mind would dislike this?! I mean seriously... this was amazing.
The voice actor in the beggining should have been Zeratul in the blizzard campaign
1. Open Starcraft II and log into battle.net
2. Click on "Arcade"
3a. Search for SC Universe or...
3b. Click Spotlight (if you're not there already); SCU will be one of the first things that appears
The rest needs no explanation. Just press Play, wait for it to load, start the game and have fun!
@SunBelowClouds Blizzard does hire mod makers, since they don't need any training. This guy was offered a job at valve because of this, though.
really excited to try this custom game out for myself =]
Thanks man. Good question.
WOW you guys are amazing, really that is Extremely impressive, i hope the SC2 Store comes out soon.
The guy who plays Optimus Prime also plays Tychus in the campaign.
This is looking pretty insane, guaranteed the creators all get jobs at Blizzard after release.
Truly an ambitious project. I've always loved StarCraft more than WarCraft, and was upset that Blizzard never produced a "World of StarCraft" game. This may be the only reason I buy StarCraft 2. Can't wait for the official release.

CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS!
@tiger05555 its a fan made mod for starcraft II
I hope the baneling will be a playable class.
Bliz really should hire these guys
@Muflex04 Wow was originally a PVE only game, they added PVP to appease the players that wanted it, balance has always been prioritized towards PVE since it was the main aspect of the game. I don't play it, but you should get your facts straight :P
Shocked that Blizzard never started doing this on their own, they should of started making this years ago
@ethan2343 This kind of stuff is really hard to make. And it's in alpha; that means you will be waiting a lot time :D
Does your credits music guy, Maverlyn, not have a website we may be able to acquire his tracks from?
Didn't think i was going to be picking up SC2...until now
No rush, but don't forget to keep workin' on this mod!
Looks like you guys have something really good going and by the views/likes on this video alone it looks like there will be lots of players! Me included.
Don't sweat it. Best of luck on making a great mod!
i guess you are right, i know they aren't looking for members but i feel they are not working anymore, or they have not a lot of time for it. For the moment i have a couple of map published but its not my best, i should do something better, thanks for the advice
Oh yeah, and also, post on forums as well.

This was so much win.
quick question: when will this awesome mod be available? :)
@JordanTylerDurland world is 1... ITS !!! UNIVERSE OF STARCRAFT!
"For thousands of years we have fought for our future" Why does this sound like Optimus Prime?
Cant wait!
@Mastermind19871987 Actually Tom's not working on the project. He's got bigger fish to fry with LoL. Note special thanks. :)
Can't wait for this!!
Any idea of an ETA in the making yet?
I knew it..........I thought this song sounded like it would be a starcraft song when I started listening it to David Orr's blog. XD
Levi scene = I woke up my parents with a loud nerdgasm
So when to expect this game :)? Made an exception and donated since I found this project fantastic:D
I can't bind any skill to the letter C, is this intentional? cuz it opens the Character tab >.

This looks waaaaay better than i expected it to look, I thought it was going to be like frontlikes eu :O
Anyways, I can't wait till it gets out :D

Actually the portraits move in RIFT
This looks. EPIC. It will be the even more amazing version of WoW, you guys really are awesome and you have my full support.

Oh and btw, I noticed that 8 zergs didn't like this video because they know we're coming for their asses.
I don't like WOW but when Blizzard officially comes out with this, I'm all over it.
I can't wait to raid Starscream!
The mod makers for sc2 dont need servers, battle.net works as the server for every single mod.
Zerg is my favorite race. Can you put them on the game?
Why is the site down? I wonder if Blizzard hired him to work on "Project Titan" lol.
when is it coming out, will you ever release a beta for people to play a indev mode of scu
Can we get a beta goin or something physical so we can see? :D
My question.... is there going to be a server for this or will it be requiring rerolls every time you want to play. and you have to wait for other players to join the game.
@PichuGun
I know
i just wanna say it beats the "normal" Sc2
So this amazing piece of art is actually a starcraft 2 mod ?
Holy shit these people are talented.
Look like Phantasy Star. I am okay with this.
BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN - CAPS
Looks fucking smexy, any idea when it will be released? Or at least an open beta?
My question is: When this will be avaible for play?
Yes sir.
Anyone else the place called Region Name?
proyect titan?
Thanks! I'll try to donate asap! This is looking pretty awesome so far, my cousin and I wait for it so bad :p
its so similar 2 wow just different theme
@SunBelowClouds they did
woah! EPIC!!
For a small unpaid indy dev team, this is amazing.
That is an AWESOME voice over :D
I would buy SC2 just to play with this mod!
When can we play it on EU_Server? i searched but not found...
When can i download the game :D ? Its so cool !!!
