I’m sorry in advance if this isn’t the correct forum. Please let me know if I need to post this elewhere. I was wondering if it’s possible to create a new type of game using the Starcraft II engine. I briefly scrolled through answers in this forum and skimmed through videos on map making, but I can’t seem to find a clear answer. Before I spend hours trying to make a game with the Starcraft engine, hopefully, someone here can tell me where to look.
I’ve played Starcraft extensively before, but I never tried making a custom map before. I’m guessing you can change the starting conditions of the game, the end goal of the game, and the texture of the map. But can you make an entire new type of game with it?
For example, can you create entirely new-looking characters? Can you mix and match abilities? For example, can you make a marine shoot like a tank but also cast a tempest spell like in Warcraft?
I’m asking all this because I have an idea for a new game that I want to try and create. I don’t know if Starcraft’s map editor can do this. If an editor of a different game would be better, please let me know.
