| Posted by:Jukado Brood War Mapping News through 2020. Welcome to all the new mappers that have joined over the last year. We’ve had a lot of new people, new events and ofcourse new maps. I can only speak for myself but personally Ive been very impressed by what you guys have been making, and that goes for people who have only posted their first or second map. So keep one hand on your pencil and make sure its scribbling away in your notebook designing new layouts. The other hand on your mouse, and keep it rattling about in SCM Draft putting your concepts into reality! Its been a very busy year for Brood War Mapping. Ive got to make a special mention for my Breakout Mapper Of The Year. This award goes to Minerals. click Blindside  click Charmander  click Desert Dwellers  Next up is an award for Honourary Map Ambassador, and this special mention goes to ox. It seems to me ox has done a lot of map promoting this year, and put in the effort to unite and stimulate the scene. If you use Discord chatrooms, you will be able to find a BW Mapping specific channel. Also Qikz STPL Map Contest was a major event in the mapping scene and deserves a spotlight mention. Qikz wanted some awesome new maps for his team league, and thats exactly what we now have. There were a lot of tournaments using foreign maps this year and I speak for all the mappers here when I say it is greatly appreciated. So thankyou very much goes to all you tour organisers and map promoters who have helped raise the profile to new heights. Now that 2020 is over Im going to roundup some of the mapping news below. But before we get into that, here are some links to The Cutting Room Floor. The site is an archive of axed game files.

However there are a few more items to cover. On January the 9th 2021, battlereports.com closed down. This venerable website has been a stalwart of the StarCraft scene forever. Theres no sugar coating this one, its a sad story. On behalf of bwmn I know I can say we are all unhappy to see this come to pass. Wishing you the best in your future projects. click battlereports.com closing Freakling posted a new creep spawner on Jan 10th 2021: click Creep Beacon Im going to continue doing map stuff and following the scene but I probably wont post another one of these next year, so if someone else wants to open a text file and start noting the mapping news and take up the mantle for 2021 that would be great to see. Finally we reach the most important question: Why does Charmander have a massive boner? | |

Welcome to the Korean and Chinese map makers who are sharing maps here. Long may it continue. And welcome back goes to returning faces. For example, having not been seen for several years, TkTkVrooM uploaded 17 finished maps in 2019! Thankyou to all the tournament organisers who used foreign maps. Did you know, Shakuras got its name from the phrase "Shake Your Ass". Did you know, the SCV got its name from the word "Skivvy". Did you know, korean commentators call zerglings "Sugarlings". This is especially appropriate when they have the adrenal gland upgrade. Did you know, after the 0.91 update, Bubbles had been rated 17 times and got a total of -2,147,483,638 points. This gave it a rating of -126,322,566.9 Are we moving into another 'Roaring Twenties' decade? Is 2020 going to be a year of Protoss dominance? | |

| Posted by:Jukado 2018 is over. It has been a very successful year for foreign mapping. Here are some highlights: Download ScmDraft map editor from: click here Stormcoast Fortress Suicidal Insanity has posted about a potential new feature for ScmDraft, a unit path preview tool. This feature would be an extremely powerful addition to a mappers toolkit. click here Unit Path Preview tool teamliquid thread   -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- We have seen two maps getting picked up for one of the big Korean leagues and the Blizzard ladder. Congratulations to Freakling for (4)Roadkill and (4)In The Way Of An Eddy being used in KSL and the official ladder. click here Roadkill  click here Eddy  click here KSL Season 1 maps liquipedia click here KSL Season 2 maps liquipedia Roadkill was added to the blizzard ladder in patch 1.22.0 (Season 1) Eddy was added to the blizzard ladder in patch 1.22.1 (Season 2) click here Blizzard ladder maps liquipedia -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- The above two maps were used in BSL5 and additionally so were (4)Kiseyras and (4)Heartbeat. Congratulations to CrystalDrag and Jungleterrain for this achievement. click here Kiseyras  click here Heartbeat  click here BSL5 map pool liquipedia Going forward BSL6 has kept Eddy, Heartbeat and Kiseyras in the map pool. click here BSL6 map pool teamliquid thread -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- An update for Brood War remaster introduced new ramp tiles. Its significant news for mappers as these are the first new tiles to be added to the game since Brood War. Please note that if you use these tiles in a map then it will not be backwards compatible with version 1.16 etc though. click here Patch 1.22 blizzard announcement  -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Golgotha teaching Brood War to students at a school in Thailand lead to some fun events which bwmn was able to contribute to in a small way. A couple of gaming sessions were held, there was a stream with Korean casters, and a bunch of swag including t shirts, keyboards, headphones etc courtesy of Afreeca and Blizzard was delivered to the school. And there was also pizza! click here help teaching brood war to thai students tl thread part 1 click here afreeca kcm lan party thailand tl thread part 2 click here thai lan party success tl thread part 3 -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Brood Wars 20th anniversary was celebrated with Blizzard sending commemorative certificates and coins to various community figures.

| Posted by:Jukado 2017 has been a significant year for brood war and mappers. A different version of brood war was released, dramatically changing the landscape. A different version of scm draft was released. Several features are present that greatly improve a melee mappers toolkit. A massive thankyou to Suicidal Insanity for this. click here Stormcoast Fortress click here scm draft teamliquid release thread  -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Also a major korean tournament used a foreign map. Congratulations to Jungleterrain for (3)Uzi Sara being used in the Ginyuda Team Battle (ASL team battle). click here Uzi Sara page click here ASL team battle liquipedia page  -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- More foreign tournaments have been using foreign maps too. Overall its been a good year for map makers in my opinion. We have also had a large number of new mappers posting maps on this site. A warm welcome to them. I have to admit Im really impressed by the quality of the maps these guys have made so far. Likewise it has been a pleasure to see familiar faces returning to the site to comment. May your concepts come readily, and your execution be ruthless. Here is to 2018. | |

| Posted by:JungleTerrain So I've been checking every once in a while to see if any korean mapmaking sites have come back up and it seems intothemap is back up. Not sure how new or legit it is but there isn't any content up as far as I can tell. I used to check out the maps there a lot back around 2008-2012. I will be keeping an eye out for more sites like this, including mapdori, etc. Feel free to post any discoveries regarding melee mapmaking sites or communities! Check it out here: http://intothemap.kr/main | |
