BlizzCast 6 - New Portraits and Screenshot

20th Nov 2008 02:14 AM GMT | Troglodyte | 7 comments

The latest BlizzCast is out, this time discussing all three major franchises of Blizzard. The StarCraft II discussion starts just after 19 minutes, and looks at the unit design from concept to creation with Senior Art Director Samwise Didier and Lead Game Designer Dustin Browder. Some single player content and a brief analysis of the Thor is also included.

A summary of the SC highlights include:

• Any unit that is deemed "too powerful" for the multiplayer will most likely end up in the single player campaigns.
• The Thor, as you know, is still being worked on.
• The overall process from start to finish on creating a unit is pretty interesting.
• The Zealot is the very first unit portrait to be created.

This batch also came with five new portraits (bringing our total to 14) and another screenshot:


You can download the entire episode here, or read the transcript at the Blizzard website.

Edit: Extracted the Thor and Mutalisk portraits from the flash files, although not as hi-res as the others.
