The day has finally come, StarCraft 2 has been released all across the states. We've been waiting a long while for this, and damn is it about time.
StarEdit Network was one of the greatest resources for StarCraft map and mod making. Now that the sequel is here, let's help build SEN back up by creating some incredible projects. We've seen some good work so far by a few members, but I personally hope to see a lot more activity in the weeks to come. Thanks for making SEN so great, everyone.
That said, we have a new contest to announce, hosted by payne!
SEN StarCraft II August Map Contest!
- Finding solutions to problems -
- Finding solutions to problems -
Just like the first contest, the idea is to help promote map making in general for StarCraft 2. There's a little twist with this one, however. Instead of producing a specific map for a theme or concept, you'll have to find solutions to problems. On top of that, there isn't any specific deadline! The point is just to solve the problems, and the more you solve, the more points you earn. Granted the contest can't go on forever, therefore whomever collects the most points by the end of August is our winner.
Specifications:
- If you are the first one to solve a problem, you earn 2 points.
- Once the first solution has been discovered, any different solution is worth 1 point.
- If the problem mentions a "simulation," the most realistic entry earns 2 points. Other submissions will receive 1 point if they were original enough (to the discretion of the judges).
- One can propose multiple solutions for the same problem and earn points for each of them. Just make sure each solution is different enough from the previous ones.
- The problems will be revealed on August the 1st to ensure no one has the advantage of time over others.
- The contest ends as soon as a valuable solution has been proposed for every problem, or by the time the end of the month comes.
- Rewards will be distributed to winners once judges are done evaluating all the materials.
- You must have a SEN account to submit material.
- Keep in mind the point of this contest is to help out map making in general, so please keep submitting solutions even if the contest has ended!

Currently Working On: My Overwatch addiction.
I found a GameStop box addressed to me on my doorstep thismorning.
