| Project Revolution Total Conversion Soon! |
SCLegacy has a new member code-named Rise, he is setting up an exclusive coverage. StarCraft Legacy will be doing a series of exclusive articles on Project: Revolution.
Project: Revolution is a total conversion of Warcraft III: Frozen Throne to Starcraft: Brood War modification. There is a staff of roughly 20 dedicated coders, graphics artists, and reps that work non-stop on it in their spare time. Its graphics are of better quality than the WC3 release, and the mod will be absolutely free. They have been working on it for the past 3 years, which is longer than the production time of some full games! Here is a taste of their work, a brand new release.
What? You haven't heard of this before? What rock have you been living beneath the last three years?
SLAPS YOU! Wake up! Read that again, yes, you heard right. When this Conversion is ready to launch you will be able to play Starcraft in the Warcraft III: Frozen Throne Engine.
Stay tuned to the many interviews and articles of SCLegacy in the coming days. You can read the first of many series of articles over at SCLegacy -- Here
Check out the AWESOME screenshot of the Terran FIREBAT unit.
The breath-taking Valkyrie animation shown here was developed by Edfishy, part of the Project Revolution Team.
