Star Craft (open source Brood War) running on the New 3DS

2026-10-17T02:56:27+00:00

Hey, people. Recently I discovered that AI has made porting open source projects for different plataforms really easy. Today I've been trying to make Star Craft 1 run on the New 3ds hardware, using gemini flash 3.8 high, on antigravity. It's really early in the development and A LOT of changes have to be made to be playable. But this early concept of gameplay is really cool and all the maps are there.
If you want me to make this project public in the future comment bellow and make suggestions so I can make good prompts.

I've actually never played SC1, but I'm a huge fan of SC2!!

(I don't know if this violates the AI rule, since its not an "AI generated vídeo" but an AI helped port).

What are the top 5 balance changes that StarCraft 2 needs?

2026-10-18T09:40:45+00:00

I think the ghost change from the last patch might be one of them? maybe with some tweaks? i'm not sure but just interested in what the VERY TOP of the Priority list would be

The guys on the Battle Report youtube channel (part of the Yogscast) created a more faithful miniatures game with smaller scale models, base building, resource harvesting and tech progression.

I was today years old when i found out you can change the theme of your UI and the color intensity of your buildings !

2026-10-16T17:02:31+00:00

I always thought these custom console UI's were just stream overlays lol, this is sick that blizzard added these, easiest $6 i've ever spent

Is PvT ever going to be fixed?

2026-10-17T12:13:24+00:00

I was watching an almost 4 year old uthermal video, where he remarked how you basically have to scv pull or put toss very behind early or it's too easy for them to win at all levels except a few pros, and it made me realize how long this has been going on

Aside from the 8 worker blip we just had, it's literally been years of this matchup being super imba, with people only just realizing in the last year or so how bad it is. The level of effort and execution required to win a macro game from the Terran is unbelievable and it feels like we have just accepted that's how the game works

We had no end of Protoss complaining during 8 workers (rightly so), but whenever anyone addresses this elephant in the room it seems to be met with 'git gud' and 'stop whining' sentiments by the people who benefit from it.

I personally know multiple 5k+ Terrans who now mainly play deadlock and motherlode instead of sc2 because they can't be bothered with TvP

If a 40K Dawn of War 2 gameplay styled game came out for Starcraft, what would you want from it?

2026-10-16T20:50:06+00:00

I like the gameplay of both Starcraft and Dawn of War, but I'm just curious if yall would want hero based squads or squads spawned in from points like in Retribution?

I wouldn't either one, and part of the reason I want this kinda game is because I feel like it would give the opportunity to explore a bit more of the universe in smaller ways.

Duran manipulated everyone in Brood War, and was the real villain of the game

2026-10-16T15:49:50+00:00

https://preview.redd.it/qktpbmdbluvh1.png?width=890&format=png&auto=webp&s=8955c0171dec0252aaa195bfb0a8283c223d7c50

if you analyze his actions with the hindsight of Starcraft 2 story. it can actually be deduced he was already working to undermine everyone.

first of all - he couldn't really be infested and under Kerrigan's control - he shows no sign of it whatsoever, and only his voice changes when he joins the Zerg. he only let Kerrigan think she's controlling her when in reality he was the one manipulating her.

we can see this manipulation clearly in the "True Colors" mission. Duran is the one that subtly suggested Kerrigan to betray her allies by asking "and what of your allies, what should be done with them, you're simply going to let them leave?"
the queen thinks the killing her friends was her idea, but it was Duran's psyching powers that covertly planted this idea in her mind. just like he did with Dugal when he insisted on killing Stukov and destroying the Psi Disruptor.

every time we see Duran in a mission briefing he always gives exellent tactical advice as if he knows everything but at the same time it's horrible strategic advice because winning his battles doesn't help his 'masters' at all.
what did kerrigan get from killing Fenix and Razhagal? absolutely nothing. she just made the Protoss her sworn enemy
this only benefited Duran, who needs the zerg and protoss and constant war so he'll have all the bodies he needs for the hybrid project.

why did Duran ensure Mengsk's survival? because he is the only one crazy and evil enough to give him the resources to create the hybrids. and so that humanity will continue to have war with the protoss
and by keeping all the 3 sides hating each other he is setting up the perfect ground for retrieving the Xelnaga keystone pieces and making sure no one is strong enough when Amon will finally return.

think about it: we first see him as a Confederate commander that pledges allegiance to the UED, but he immediately starts to sabotage their interests right in the next mission, was it possible he was infested this whole time and no one noticed? impossible. he was already orchestrating everyone in response to Kerrigan's independence.

it's even safe to assume he is the reason why the zerg attacked humanity in the first place - if this entire time he was in a position of power within the Confederacy it's very likely he convinced the leadership to experiment on the zerg, helped creating the psi-emitters and had no problems murdering millions on mar-sara and chau-sara to test them.

an idea for a spin off game inspired by an earlier post

2026-10-16T23:25:49+00:00

someone suggested earlier a game inspired on dawn of war 2 and while i was replying to the post this idea cross my mind inspired on statecraft and brood wars missions where you control a limited amount of units (like The Jacobs Installation mission)

and it cross my mind same gameplay , at bigger scale with more detail graphics and environments that you could maybe even interact with so you can make more complex missions you couldnt have in the original starcraft would be one heck of a game

cause those missions where you had to really think your actions and use the units abilities carefully and strategically where really fun . would be awesome if someone was to do game expanding on that . that still feel more like starcraft than xcom

Basilisk Big Brain Bouts - Serral vs Percival

2026-10-16T19:05:35+00:00

Anyone watch it?

Insane game 3:

I've never seen such a crazy late game transition before - If you are subscribed to Rotti you can watch it:

https://www.twitch.tv/rotterdam08 - otherwise it will be put on Basilisk's youtube channel later.

But yeah, Swarm host late game transition when you're 20k resources in trading down in TVZ - to win the game. I've never seen this transition before in my years of watching pro starcraft. When 16 Swarm hosts got queued I thought it was a misclick!

What was the original reason given for raising the worker count from 6 - 12?

2026-10-16T11:01:34+00:00

So I'm not saying we should go back to the reduced worker count. I am wondering if a reason was given for raising the worker count in the first place.

When blizzard FIRST raised the worker count from 6-12, why did they raise it to that particular number instead of 10 or 14? Was any reason given or was it just an arbitrary, 100% increase?

Calling it now: SC 2030 is a rogue-like extraction shooter.

2026-10-17T22:38:50+00:00

The expendable qualities of the marine we'll be playing as, the emphasis on upgrading the suit from the devs, the trend of extraction shooters, and that Blizz has a way of being late to the party on things these days (mobas, card games, etc.) I guarantee 2030 is a rogue-like extraction shooter that will release when most gamers are tired of extraction shooters.

what are some out-of-script stuffs you've done on SC1/SC2?

2026-10-16T14:38:56+00:00

by that i mean things that go against the script (like destroying the facility with drones in SC2 HOTS) – i'll go first:

in BW with kerrigan and the psi emitter once the evac comes for the SCV i let the SCV get onboard the dropship and then destroy it with scourges. because i'm an asshole!

and some missions i cheat and get myself a dark archon then mind control another army. it's fun, lol.

in SC2 with zagara and the banelings i cheat and rush and kill her base straight up without the banelings – i keep killing her everytime she comes back until there's nothing left!

in Nova:CO i cheat and rush to kill general davis before the camera cuts to cutscene (can't recall if i succeeded, lol)

do you have some more?
