Heya guys will we ever possibly get a collab with carbot animations for a starcrafts themed mission? i think that’d be cool.

Maybe be more specific about that. Starcrafts is starcraft + cutesy art style/making fun of mechanics. A mission based around being in starcraft with cutesy art style and making fun of mechanics? It’s not like starcrafts has a battle idea that could be translated into coop. Heck, derpfestor is already like, identical to Amon.
On top of this, from my understanding, actually adding anything in the Carbot style beyond, like, a console is an exceptionally difficult task due to it being a sprite based animation in a 3d game engine. He made some videos about the process he had to go through for his Starcrafts mod for the arcade that explained it pretty well, but its a rather difficult task.
True.

Even if you had the StarCrafts mod as a starting point, the sheer number of assets needed for co-op would be relatively crazy, what with the co-op exclusive units, buildings, level-specific assets, and mutations being a thing.
I would surmise that it would be more likely if StarCraft as an e-sport was solely dependent on how well you do in co-op missions relative to your ally than it is to have a Carbot mod for co-op.
Been a bit since I messed with Carbot’s SC II mod, but doesn’t it just replace the buildings/units of the player, but leave the map alone?
At which point, I’d say a “Carbot Commander” would be a more appropriate attempted inclusion into the game than any sort of “map/replacer for everything”…
4/1 then

Sort of? The maps themselves are also custom carbot terrain. The “mod” is an actual arcade map unto itself.
