I (Robin Ek, TGG) just found out that the Shadow portal team (the makers of "Camelot: The Game") launched their F2P lewd visual novel-like "Starcraft" PC game called "SlutCraft: Heat of the Sperm" not so long ago. Well, since it's the early access version of "SlutCraft", here's what's known about the game so far.
Even though fans have been clamoring for a StarCraft 3 for years now, it seems like Blizzard really has no reason to spend time making one.
They sort of ran the story as far as it could go.
Also, it seems like blizzard is more busy with mediocrity at this point in time.
The problem with Blizzard is they have franchises that don't need sequels. People are happy playing the games that they previously made. What they need is new games, none of this business of trying to transport the old audience into a new version of an old game which only ends up nickle and dime'ing users.
Illogical Games has just announced the official release of Star Discord, the one-man indie dev's charming StarCraft lookalike on mobile.
RTS; it's a beloved genre...but it's in dire need of originality or it risks being consigned to a small pool of fans.
In my opinion, they have evolved and become more complicated. Way back in the day with command and conquer games, they were easier to pick up and play. I’ll actually go further back to a $70 Super Nintendo game called “Metal Marines”. Not sure if I’m off the mark, but these cellphone, real time strategy games become overwhelming quickly to me. There’s too much going on at once and it turns me off. Not sure if there are any on consoles to be honest. If there is a RTS that is on PS4, I’m open to the recommendation
Metal marines... what a game, and Herzog Zwei too.
Ensemble Studios and Westwood closing spelt absolute disaster for RTS games, with exception of blizzard, no one made any real good ones. Microsoft and EA ruined two top franchises before closing the studio. such a shame
Over complicated. Dawn of War 1 was almost the perfect rts, its all been downhill since.
This has a very... Interesting title xD.
I think Blizzard will be taking this down.
@Asuka "Fine example of rule 34, this is... XD"
- Very much so ;) I'm just surprised that the game got dropped now. I mean, I thought that something like this would have been created much earlier? Then again, perhaps no one had the guts to actually do it?
@Sciurus_vulgaris "Then Blizzard can sue....."
- SEGA didn't do that with SOR Remake, and Nintendo didn't do that with AM2R (they just told them to take the game down). Furthermore, the game is free-to-play, and it doesn't use "Starcraft" in the title. So it's like ID or Bethesda would go after "MiniDoom". Then again, Blizzard did go after a handful of lewd "Overwatch" videos, but all of them used "Overwatch" in the title.
I just wanted to add that the Shadow portal team (the devs of "SlutCraft") just informed me that I'm going to get a chance to review the full game once it launches. So "hopefully" that means that I will get to play the full release a couple of days before the game launches for everyone. In other words, I could have a review ready on the launch day.
