MMO "Starcraft Universe" developers came out on Kickstarter

A Starcraft II MMO mod that turns a game into an open MMO world may become reality faster than planned. The developers of the add-on launched a company on Kickstarter in order to receive funds for the quick release of their project. In this case, the requested amount is not calculated in millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Developers needed only 80 thousand US dollars. In this case, for a couple of days, 10 thousand dollars have already been collected, so the campaign looks quite real.

The mod is being developed by Upheaval Arts, and will be distributed via Battle.net from Blizzard. For those gamers who have already purchased Starcraft, the mod will be free. But, of course, absolutely no money mod can not be implemented.

Subject to receiving support from the Kickstarter community, the developers promised to develop new storylines, locations, and add localization for players from different countries. Of course, the “sponsors” get additional buns, such as things from the game, a Skype conversation with the developers, and even the possibility of working with a composer who writes music for the game.
