After a long Hiatus

It's been a long 11 months since I've even looked at this mod. In fact, I'm surprised that I've still got it on my drive. Luckily now, it's backed up to a reliable location, and can be retrieved at a later date. As of the last 3 days, some serious improvements have been made.

- The skybox background is competed
- Cameras have been updated for all planets, and all planets function normally
- All planets can be landed on by spacecraft.
- The final resource, Helium 3 has been implemented.

The next feature of the mod to be developed will be the completion of the ground unit tree, and an establishement of a rudimentiary aircraft, aerospace, and spacecraft tree. The latter three will only include 1-3 units by the time pre Alpha testing begins.

Finally, I've come to the decision that the name Tears of the Sun  is pretty terrible and needs replacing. If you have any suggestions for a new name, send them my way.

Despite a catastrophic computer failure I've managed to recover the maps from a flash drive. Here are some screen shots of the forest terrain and some new UI elements. New UI dialogs include the taxation counter. and new Dialog boxes will be coming soon.

Welcome to the Tears of the Sun blog! Here I hope to track the progress of my upcoming Starcraft II map: Tears Of the Sun. The map is a multiple player 4x game. This is something that I believe is missing from SCII.

Players will begin the game on the surface of their planet. They can zoom out to space to view their planet at any time by pressing escape. There will be an AI player on each planet as well as another player. It will be up to the player's discretion on if they want to be aggressive or diplomatic with the other player on their world. Once they reach sufficient technological capacity then they will be able to fly to other worlds through space and engage with other players.
