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.

Six planets in Total
Two players per planet
Fully rendered space
Land Combat
Space combat
Air Combat
Space units on the surface of worlds to provide support.

More information will come in following posts.
