Hey everyone, it's sure been a month for the developer team but despite that we've got a bunch of new stuff to share with you all.

Hey everyone, it's sure been a month for the developer team but despite that we've got a bunch of new stuff to share with you all. If you've been following our donor channel you may have seen some of these before but let's go through it all once more.

New Site

Our new site is 90% complete for its initial launch to go along with update 1.16
1.16's changes and its balance patch are shaping up to be massive as of yet so the new site and all the new formatting features are a must to present it all properly.

Currently i'm sketching out how i will present the campaign on the site as well as making an installer tool to download the files in case that the uploads to battlenet are still dead by the time we're ready to release.

New Models

Thanks to Yohiner, Rob and the rest of the team we've been able to get several new models made and some of them are mostly complete just awaiting some additional animations or effects.

First up a look at a new Refinery Model by Leaf_It and textured by Rob, this one is mostly complete with jus some minor additions pending to its death models to bring them up to par with our expected quality.

Next up we got an early look at a new Larva model by Rob

The Amazing Gateway model sculpted by Rob and Textured by AltJunior, this model was voted to be prioritized in the Donor channels on our Discord sever and is nearly game ready by now.

The Spire and Greater Spire, models Commissioned by Leaf_It and made by the same artist who made the Zerg Colonies as well as the Defiler Mound, this model is still receiving some adjustments and we will be working on it sometime soon.

We've also attached a very early animation test transferring the rig of the StarCraft 2 Spire into our new Spire Model.

Our new Missile Turret model courtesy of AltJunior, we have yet to adjust the textures but the initial in-game tests look quite good so far.

We have many more models we can't wait to show you guys but they need a little more time in the oven before they can shine.

Campaign

There's still a fair bit of work left across several parts of the Campaign but i'm happy to announce maps are currently receiving a final art pass.

Ladder

We're actively working on the Ladder and we'll have more news soon-ish, hopefully the upcoming patch will be ready by the time blizzard restores upload services.
