Starcraft total conversion - RFE (request for employees)

So in working on a very special project I have realized it's not something I can finish on my own in the timespan I'd like to finish it within. Thus I'm making this post and perhaps those knowledgable can forward it to others with skills to assist.

Starcraft is awesome, and there's plenty of already coded games that there's probably no need to code a "better" version of it. What the game would need is merely the Warcraft III look, a bit of a 3D appearance and some enhancements for it to be a bit more modern.

The easiest and perhaps most legal approach would be to mod Warcraft III into a Starcraft game - a full and total conversion. As someone who has owned both games, I should have the full legal permission to do this - and thus many others could as well.

Here is what would be needed:

1. Maps created that are replicas of Starcraft default maps

2. GUI modded to be Starcraft-like

3. All the sounds ripped from Starcraft and translated into Warcraft III format

4. Object graphics altered to be from Starcraft (or originally rendered!)

5. Original Starcraft music can be used or original music composed or remixed

6. Campaigns can be made that follow Starcraft plot

7. Training levels and such can be made to further improve gameplay.

The above is the order from easiest to most difficult and from playable to hackable. Map creation can be done quickly while making campaigns may involve quite a lot of work and depends on graphics and audio to be complete. Making a tank animation or graphic does not depend on any other item, whereas making a training level depends on all of the above.

If there are those familiar with 3D graphics, Starcraft resource extraction (no, not SCVs), and level/map editors, please let me know so we can move forward with this project.

At the completion, Starcraft would finally have an updated 3D look, we won't have to wait on Blizzard anymore, and most important of all, we'd keep the gameplay the same!|||How about instead, you consider working with the people who have already been doing this same thing for about 4 years now? They are called Project Revolution and you can introduce yourself right here to an entire team of people with their own forum.|||A starcraft total conversion has alwready been done and it's great.|||Quote:

No, it hasn't been done yet. Project Revolution is working on it and they are still far from it (I say 2 years more at least). Or you mean night_wolvex conversions with missing models, additional units and kill_st4r models, it isn't best quality at all.

Starcraft is very popular as is - as a 2D game. It doesn't need 3D look to be better. Also Wc3 is dying game, so you won't make your mod popular at all.|||Quote:

Thank you!
