Gauging Interest
« on: December 18, 2010, 09:55:20 am »

So, I've been obsessed with the Starcraft Universe now for a little while and I've come up with what I think is a decent idea for a Starcraft based forum game, but I need to know if I'm the only one who has an interest.  So vote and post your opinions, if I get an overwhelmingly positive response, I'll post the thread later today.

((Be sure to state your preference for an RPG, or strategy based game.))

I heart Starcraft.
Hell yes.

But seriously, I'd think strategy would be easier to balance, but have no real preference, and would be fine either way. But it's hard to roleplay as a Zergling against a Marine, or a Marine against a Hydralisk, et cetera...

Well the RPG would restrict you to Terrans, unfortunately for those of us who love either Protoss or Zerg.

Then it's a little less imbalanced. But that brings the problem of piloting vehicles. The vehicle pilots aren't shown with any sort of suit (except maybe Wraith and Goliath, I don't quite remember), which suggests that it's difficult to fit into the vehicle with any kind of large suit, or they may have an airlock of some sort. People WILL want to drive a tank as Terrans.
Of course, Marine suits are somewhat difficult to take off, from what I understand...

I believe I'd give it a shot, RPG or Strategy. Though I do lean towards the RPG myself.

Cool, I was worried we'd have a bunch of people who hate Starcraft on these forums good to know I'm not the only one who enjoys it.  It seems like most people want to go with the RPG option, so, it looks like we're going to do that.  I'll leave this up for a couple more hours though, it'll probably take that long for me to create all the rules and such.
