My jaw DROPPED when I saw that Orca, the Man, the Myth, the ABSOLUTE WIZARD, made a *space battle segment* for this, to actually defend the Spear of Adun and protect the different clusters... My god, it's legendary.
My downstairs Neighbour complained about the bang my jaw made as it hit the floor. Absolutely incredible work. I hope Orca get's to keep doing similar stuff in the future, even if not as a modder, maybe he will be working professionally on some great new titles. I have literally no clue what he does for a living, but hopefully something Frostgiant-y.
I'd like to say, never in a million years would I be able to come up with something like this. Real Scale WoL was my first major editor project, and to see the crazy features added with RS LotV is surreal. To think that back then, the concern was just making the missions playable. Orca has done incredible things in RS HotS and LotV. It's gonna be hard to see him semi-retire Truly the maddest of lads. o7 (Side note, I had very little to do with the development of RS LotV. Direct any praise to the playtesters and other modders)
I said in another comment directly to Orca that this whole mod series is magnificent. And yeah, he is (and the mod) magnificent but your work is different. You are both perfectionist and it is noticeable at a glance. As an spectator I can't not put you or him above one another. There are 3 of you that just shine in this whole scene... And some that even if not "masters" (for a title of sort) make wretched things that no matter how flawed are just so fun that they are great anyway. All the admiration to GGG, his community and the modding community for SC2. Too bad he is retiring and the big three won't be the big three going forward. This may be foreshadowing but you all could pursue a profession on this. This looked like a preview of a game like spore where you go from microbes to space travel (but actually great in more regards and more entertaining). Like the start of the MOBA genre in dota (maybe I'm too hopeful). But it does sadden me that you won't have as much fun in a big game dev studio like with modding since they have to be realistic on focus on the important aspect and leave rough ends to make profit. By the way, thinking about it... This whole modding community reminds me of the studio that made Hades (can't remember the name). Maybe that is something for you all to pursue together as semi indie.
We've reached that point. Where starfighters (which had to be scaled down in earlier versions of Real Scale because they were too large) are so tiny they need an icon to represent a squad of them. We've enlarged. We've embiggened. And it's glorious.
I remember when people said modding the Spear of Aden top bar was difficult and nearly impossible. Not only did psychopath Orca change the abilities he ALSO gave you two entirely different ones on the same map that change merely by clicking onto different parts of it, all while giving you a real scale Spear of Adun to use like an Empire at War space station. We’re gonna miss you, Orca
That Spear of Adun almost made me go "Holy sh&t!!!". Both the sheer audacity to pull a real-scale space battle on Starcraft 2, work into this beauty of a mission, and the realization that Motherships which are a size of entire ground map and then some can *sit in the Spear of Adun's gun clusters without issue*. That's a BIG poking stick you have there, Artanis...
Yeah it makes the real scale weaponry top bar abilities make a Lot of sense. A ship that is literally the size of a decent sized asteroid or small moon.
27:34 hey mom look! i’m on the tv :p as one of the main playtesters of real scale lotv, i must say this has been an absolutely amazing experience. seeing all the crazy black magic orca has managed to do with the editor to create such an amazing final product is so cool, and seeing these videos made by grant and seeing all of the hilarious reactions from both him and the viewers was the highlight of my day. so, thank you to all of you who watched this series, thank you to grant for paying for this to be created and doing a public showcase, and most of all, thank you to orca for making such an awesome mod. I can’t wait for the rest of you to be able to play it in its full glory. a fun fact i looked up was that the first playable version of real scale lotv was posted on may 16, 2022, and since then there have been over 70 versions that have been made, which is an absolutely crazy big number
A shame Orca left modding, this entire rework looks and feels brilliant! And the twist with Spear of Adun management is just amazing! (also, I'm almost certain that those last waves were meant for the Spear, so if you fail miserably at high-orbit battle, you will suffer twice as much on the ground)
with him retiring from modding it will fall to others to be inspired in the community and add the RS Epilogues and Covert Ops, maybe even add refinements from RS LotV into the previous parts.
Orca, what the fuck did you make with this mission?!?! I have never seen anything so impressive as your sendoff for this community. Thank you so much for all your time and effort!
Not gonna lie: If this is truely the last Mod we will see from Orcawarrior2, then at the very least we can say that he went out with an absolute bang. It truely is the TH-cam of mods, or to put it in less recent meme terms: It is a mod that changes the way starcraft plays and pulls it off perfectly. You can be proud of what you acchieved Orca. What a banger.
eh, I think it's pretty fair as part of psychological warfare; not a legitimate argument,but being forced to kill mind-controlled innocents is really demoralizing and even more horrifying than the regular amount of murder committed in war, and getting that pointed out to you constantly can fuck you up, so Amon doing exactly that does serve a purpose
Not if you assume that Amon is saying that solely to be an asshole. Amon doing things solely because it hurts people is very fitting with his character.
@@MrNum8325 to be fair, if they write Amon as a completely a**hole, that's ok too, the problem is Amon having an identity crisis, we don't know if he is a misunderstood villain or a pure evil villain cause it keep switching between the two, which ends up making him so unrelatable.
The fight in orbit is amazing, the idea of preventing the spear from taking damage and loosing your abilities up top is so good. Balancing it with the ground defense too, it’s so good~
I don't even know how, but every single mission was cooler than the previous one. Without fail. Every mission felt like the coolest possible Starcraft 2 mod of a mission ever, and then was one-upped by the next one until finally, the ultimate step up, the most incredible flourish? (Spoiler for, like, five mins into the video) TWO incredibly awesome missions at once and *REAL SCALE SPEAR OF ADUN* (kinda). Actually perfect. Insanely incredible work by all involved.
The man, the legend, the Orca himself, not only made campaign real scaled, but made it balanced, beginner friendly, and added a ton of new content at Blizzard level of quality! Absolute mad lad, you've got my lifelong respect.
That reveal brought a tear to my eye ;) Just realised it's been a year since I started this youtube membership for Grant's content, and seeing something this incredible come out of it is definitely worth it. Thanks for all you do, Grant and the modders, you're all awesome.
Tal Darim mothership with 35 range casually covering all 3 pathways at the same time with no micro. Also, that space battle section is basically Empire at War with the fighter squadrons and everything.
Orca, the real scale mods have been the most influential mods in the modding community, what you have done for us cannot be measured. Thank you for everything, and godspeed, you magnificent bastard.
I love those Empire at War icons for the space combat ships. What else can be said about Orca now that makes him justice? He's a modding GOD. What a insane and amazing community, with divine modders, inspiring content creators and very trolley Twitch donners. You guys are simply the best there is, the best there was and the best there will ever be
Artanis: "Amon is using the Armada's most powerful ground forces against the Keystone. As painful as it will be, we have no choice but to destroy them!" Alarak: "Fear not, comrades, for we have Armada of our own! Should the dire need arise, Ji'nara may descend with her Mothership that takes like half of the map. Though she may break the space-time continuum doing so - as she is also defending Spear of Adun at the same time - only the might of the Protoss this High can match the forces of Amon!"
I am INMENSELY surprised and impressed with this. Seriously this whole real scale campaign was a journey to see how far you guys have gone it's really impressive from WoL it was just the same missions but with tinier and bigger units, HotS was a surprise because it came with changes that somehow diverge from the base game and finally LotV the prologue was a chilling start almost made me think this was gonna be a little similar experience from HotS but NOPE the whole campaign was surprising the way you guys handle the capital ships was a smart and interesting choice AND to see the finale? Dude you guys surely made me look at my screen twice because I remember playing the original LotV and thinking that losing the abilities of the Spear of Adun the more I progress while defending was interesting and challenging BUT in this mod!? Putting a space-battle just to defend the Spear of Adun!? Now THAT is so cool. Orca and to the rest of the modders you guys are just amazing for making this happen to see how far this community can go is so incredible and it's a real shame that Orca is semi-retire from this but know how much you have done for this game and it's community, you are the GOAT for this amazing project Orca and I can say the same to the rest of modders. I aplaud to you and send my praises to all of you from my country Venezuela
Thank you Orca for everything you have done. I wish you the best with whatever comes your way next and you will always be remembered by all of the SC2 community and always welcome back.
The combination of the hardpoints feature with the mechanic of the Spear of Adun losing functionality during the final mission is quite simply _genius._ It makes perfect sense, and yet it's something nobody would have thought of. I love it.
That was amazing. No other words really describe it. It changed the final mission from being an honestly weaker version of all-in, to being it's own thing that's really cool in its own right. I would absolutely be terrible at defending both locations at once, but holy sh*t that was amazing.
Okay, 10/10. As the video was starting I was thinking "Man, it'd be so awesome if this final mission had two layers. The narrative is perfect for concurrent battle in orbit and on the ground..." and ya just got me.
Something that I love about this mission is how quickly it starts becoming impossible to manage- even in the base game! Orca's incredible work on this mod has to be some of the most inspiring work I've ever seen for a game. This really was the magnum opus he wanted it to be. Incredible work.
28:14 I'm not crying, I just got solarite in my eyes, ok?!?! you're crying!!!! we're all crying, but they're happy tears, if also solemn. Orca, may your career put Blizzard under your shadow. you will be missed, and you will do great things. You already have. So long, Mod Cowboy.
Orca, you earned The Real Scale Legend status. Hope everything will be fine, you succeed at what you have started, and your dreams come true. Some of mine already did. Thanks to You, Grant and all of your wonderful team. Peace! Love you all
Thank you Orca for this and all the other incredible mods. This is absolutely beyond amazing and you have my utmost respect. As you leave modding behind and move on through life, I wish you well and the best of luck. And to quote GGG, "Peace!"
What a brilliant series and a fantastic mod. Well done to all the modders that helped create this beautiful piece of art. Orca. You've helped create something legendary. You will be forever remembered in the modding community. Thank you for all your work. Best of luck in any future endeavours. ❤️
What a magnificent end to a man's modding career. Orca, thank you, these mods have a level of quality and fun that honestly surpasses blizzard in a lot of respects. It's because of you as well as the rest of the modding community that Starcraft and campaigns has new life again, you managed to bring back some of the magic of playing these campaigns blind for the first time, new enemies, new toys to play with, new jokes and even new mission designs. You brought back what makes the StarCraft campaigns fun to play and Real Scale Legacy of The Void is truly your magnum opus. Your legacy will not be forgotten as one of the founders of the current modding scene. Best of luck Orca and thank you for the fun.
I thought I had high expectations, but that? That was absolutely amazing. Utterly brilliant. Never would I have expected suddenly a space battle on top of it. It's brilliantly designed, particularly with allies that feel like they can hold off a lot themselves, rather than the typical allies that RTS games usually give you. Orca is an amazing modder and will be sorely missed.
This was beyond fantastic. I never expected anything like this. Thank you for everything you have done for the community, Orca! We're going to miss you!
As hard as it would be to do, co-op real scale would be really interesting. Imagine having one player be a "fleet commander" managing the giant units while the other is a "ground commander" coordinating smaller units
I genuinely don't have words for how incredible that was. I can't believe that this happened and it came out so much better than anyone could have ever predicted. Just absolutely incredible!
I knew the Mothership would be awesome and it delivered. About the spear of adun battle, i never imagined it was even possible, i didn't even know the model for the spear existed in the game, it was a very nice work. If there is one thing i can talk about that, maybe make it more apparent as which part is getting attacked, maybe with the usual screen blink mark or something so it's easier to spot where are the attackers.
This mod just feels like the full realization of everything the starcraft modding szene has managed. Foundations for full custom campaigns by mindhawk, the implementation and scaling of real scale stuff by Rhyme, the seemingly impossible Spear of Adun modding by the person that made Legacy of the Taldarim I think (?). Orca and his team put it all toghether and even pushed further to infinity and beyond. Thank you so much for this! As a long time viewer it just feels great to have witnessed this entire journey and much thanks to GGG for being the heart of the starcraft community and bringing all these people toghether.
This is the kind of magic that you can only get when a community commes together around a game they love, and that is why games with mods are superior to games that cannot be modded.
This is it! I was waiting for this! Time to watch this absolutely beautiful display of Grant's abilities with the Mothership! This is going to be absolutely spectacular!
SO bloody AMAZING!!, the space battles were great I loved how it didn't cost supply to get the ships in so it's like a mini game but the effects are on your army(land) for the battle. the Taldorim motherships were AMAZING well worth the cost it seemed. Thank you for such an amazing mod Orca, and thank you GGG for letting us enjoy it with you!
Holy cow. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the space battle segment. Grant mentioned something about Empire at War and making a Starcraft Version of it earlier in the series, but I never thought it would be foreshadowing this!! It looks amazing!
my god..... I, I love it that space battle is SO COOL!!!! i really hope when the ship hard points are brought to the other real scale campaigns there is stuff like that... its so epic thank you Orca! the greatest starcraft modded there is!!!
The scout is a fascinating unit, it has a burst cannon for ground targets but for air combat it uses missiles which in Starcraft 1, the rockets were its most devastating weapons.
I'm genuinely emotional over this. I'm gonna miss watching this series So much. Orca, you're a legend and I hope you are forever proud of this. To the other devs, I hope all of you are just as proud too. All of you are absolutely Fantastic. In the meantime, it looks like I'm gonna finally have to get the campaigns just so I can play this mod. This looks like an experience unlike any other, like a new game in its own right. Thank you all so much for sharing this with us
First off THIS IS AMAZING Second Is it just me, or has anybody else thought that the spear of adun just looks like the front part of a much bigger ship? Like every time I look at it, I think it just looks like the front part of a bigger ship
Sadly, the custom campaign manager has also been made real scale. What you need to do is click on the top half of the download pixel, and install it to the desktop. Then increase your desktop resolution and show desktop in details mode rather than icons mode. There will be a seemingly blank line where the campaign manager is. Blow gently on the screen on that space, and the campaign manager should load up.
This is amazing. I love the two plane combat and having an actual impact on when will toy lose you support. Bravo, this campaign deserves a standing ovation.
Orca, you fucking madman! You are AMAZING! Thank you so, so, so much for going as far as you did with this. Rhyme, Mindhawk, Zephyr, you all are awesome too. Thank you all for this.
The only critique I have for this finale is I wish there was a way to attach an effect for the various Spear of Adun effects to fire from the ship towards a spot on the planet. That's the kind of overkill polish that is 100% not needed, but if it could be done it would be awesome.
Your playthrough of Real Scale Legacy of the Void, has been the best the mod/campaign that I've seen on this channel. Orca is an absolute *Legend* for making this mod. I don't own LotV, and I plan on buying it, just to play through this mod. This is fantastic
Orca proving he is the greatest SC2 modder and then promptly retiring is the most badass and depressing move ever. So long you absolute legend. You will be missed.
This series has been a delight to watch. I wish Orca well in future endeavors, and should they venture professionally into game dev... I wanna support that. Orca, you outdid yourself over and over. A true masterpiece.
amazing fucking mod. will be playing a full playthrough myself. i hope orca finds great success in whatever he does next, even if its not modding for sc2 anymore.
My jaw DROPPED when I saw that Orca, the Man, the Myth, the ABSOLUTE WIZARD, made a *space battle segment* for this, to actually defend the Spear of Adun and protect the different clusters... My god, it's legendary.
Exactly the comment I just wanted to leave! Still jaw on the floor. Incredible.
My downstairs Neighbour complained about the bang my jaw made as it hit the floor. Absolutely incredible work. I hope Orca get's to keep doing similar stuff in the future, even if not as a modder, maybe he will be working professionally on some great new titles. I have literally no clue what he does for a living, but hopefully something Frostgiant-y.
@@mapron1 Same. Thank you for the words I'm still too slack-jawed to find.
This is greatest modification I have ever seen.

Without your work in WoL we'd never be here! Thanks for getting the ball rolling and for all the fun times you're given to the community.
Well now you can try making RS Nova
But it was also thanks to you Rhyme, you practically started the mods for the campaign
I said in another comment directly to Orca that this whole mod series is magnificent. And yeah, he is (and the mod) magnificent but your work is different.

That was amazing. No other words really describe it. It changed the final mission from being an honestly weaker version of all-in, to being it's own thing that's really cool in its own right. I would absolutely be terrible at defending both locations at once, but holy sh*t that was amazing.
I totally want to see some of the original SC2 devs reaction to this masterpiece of a custom campaign!
Okay, 10/10. As the video was starting I was thinking "Man, it'd be so awesome if this final mission had two layers. The narrative is perfect for concurrent battle in orbit and on the ground..." and ya just got me.
Something that I love about this mission is how quickly it starts becoming impossible to manage- even in the base game! Orca's incredible work on this mod has to be some of the most inspiring work I've ever seen for a game. This really was the magnum opus he wanted it to be. Incredible work.

I'm not crying, I just got solarite in my eyes, ok?!?! you're crying!!!!
we're all crying, but they're happy tears, if also solemn.
Orca, may your career put Blizzard under your shadow. you will be missed, and you will do great things.
You already have. So long, Mod Cowboy.
This entire mod is amazing, it makes me want to buy the campaign just to play it! I especially love the addition of the Spear of Adun fight!!
getting the campaign is totally worth it its only 15$ so not a huge purchase
Talk about a fantastic finale. Holy shit. I REALLY hope that this "defend the spear of adun" idea is added into Nightmare mod.
That was truely amazing, though Orca leaving is sad he is truely talanted and I wish him the best in life
Orca, you earned The Real Scale Legend status. Hope everything will be fine, you succeed at what you have started, and your dreams come true. Some of mine already did. Thanks to You, Grant and all of your wonderful team. Peace! Love you all
I love that this came out on my birthday. Keep up the great work!
holy crab custom cutscenes + two maps at a time
this is awesome
Thank you Orca for this and all the other incredible mods. This is absolutely beyond amazing and you have my utmost respect. As you leave modding behind and move on through life, I wish you well and the best of luck. And to quote GGG, "Peace!"
Look i m on TV !
More seriously, thank Orca for making that mod, and thank you for letting me test it, I had a really good time doing it ^^
What an absolute mad lad Orca is, when I first heard empire at War I've never expected an ACTUAL space battle in fricking StarCraft 2. Glorious
What a brilliant series and a fantastic mod. Well done to all the modders that helped create this beautiful piece of art.
Orca. You've helped create something legendary. You will be forever remembered in the modding community. Thank you for all your work. Best of luck in any future endeavours. ❤️
What a magnificent end to a man's modding career. Orca, thank you, these mods have a level of quality and fun that honestly surpasses blizzard in a lot of respects. It's because of you as well as the rest of the modding community that Starcraft and campaigns has new life again, you managed to bring back some of the magic of playing these campaigns blind for the first time, new enemies, new toys to play with, new jokes and even new mission designs. You brought back what makes the StarCraft campaigns fun to play and Real Scale Legacy of The Void is truly your magnum opus. Your legacy will not be forgotten as one of the founders of the current modding scene. Best of luck Orca and thank you for the fun.
I thought I had high expectations, but that? That was absolutely amazing. Utterly brilliant. Never would I have expected suddenly a space battle on top of it. It's brilliantly designed, particularly with allies that feel like they can hold off a lot themselves, rather than the typical allies that RTS games usually give you. Orca is an amazing modder and will be sorely missed.
Orca. This is insane. Thank you for all your hard work. You absolute mad lad.
utterly fantastic! big kudos to orca, grant, all the modders and testers and people involved!
Orca, this was amazing.
The in orbit battle was genius and amazing. I had no idea that was even possible.
This was beyond fantastic. I never expected anything like this. Thank you for everything you have done for the community, Orca! We're going to miss you!
There's going out with a bang and then there's this, well done Orca. Best of luck in whatever job you got.
As hard as it would be to do, co-op real scale would be really interesting. Imagine having one player be a "fleet commander" managing the giant units while the other is a "ground commander" coordinating smaller units
I genuinely don't have words for how incredible that was. I can't believe that this happened and it came out so much better than anyone could have ever predicted. Just absolutely incredible!
I knew the Mothership would be awesome and it delivered.
About the spear of adun battle, i never imagined it was even possible, i didn't even know the model for the spear existed in the game, it was a very nice work.
If there is one thing i can talk about that, maybe make it more apparent as which part is getting attacked, maybe with the usual screen blink mark or something so it's easier to spot where are the attackers.
This mod just feels like the full realization of everything the starcraft modding szene has managed.
Foundations for full custom campaigns by mindhawk, the implementation and scaling of real scale stuff by Rhyme, the seemingly impossible Spear of Adun modding by the person that made Legacy of the Taldarim I think (?).
Orca and his team put it all toghether and even pushed further to infinity and beyond. Thank you so much for this!
As a long time viewer it just feels great to have witnessed this entire journey and much thanks to GGG for being the heart of the starcraft community and bringing all these people toghether.
This is the kind of magic that you can only get when a community commes together around a game they love, and that is why games with mods are superior to games that cannot be modded.
ORCA THE MYTH THE LEGEND HOLY SHIT THIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN IS INSANE
This is it! I was waiting for this! Time to watch this absolutely beautiful display of Grant's abilities with the Mothership! This is going to be absolutely spectacular!
SO bloody AMAZING!!, the space battles were great I loved how it didn't cost supply to get the ships in so it's like a mini game but the effects are on your army(land) for the battle. the Taldorim motherships were AMAZING well worth the cost it seemed. Thank you for such an amazing mod Orca, and thank you GGG for letting us enjoy it with you!
Holy cow. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the space battle segment. Grant mentioned something about Empire at War and making a Starcraft Version of it earlier in the series, but I never thought it would be foreshadowing this!! It looks amazing!
This was so Bittersweet to come to an end. Thank you for all you guys do for the sc2 community
At this point, where do we draw the line between "modder" and "game dev?" What Orca has done is beyond mere modding
Damn! They add the cut scene of the Spear of Adun getting damage! The Spear of Adun section is awesome!
Can't wait for it to be released, I want the beeg bois.
my god..... I, I love it that space battle is SO COOL!!!! i really hope when the ship hard points are brought to the other real scale campaigns there is stuff like that... its so epic thank you Orca! the greatest starcraft modded there is!!!
This mod is fantastic. I can’t wait to play it! Thank you so much for your amazing work Orca!!!
The scout is a fascinating unit, it has a burst cannon for ground targets but for air combat it uses missiles which in Starcraft 1, the rockets were its most devastating weapons.
Okay, the space fight is super, super awesome as an addition to the mission. :)
All Hail Orca.
I'm genuinely emotional over this. I'm gonna miss watching this series So much. Orca, you're a legend and I hope you are forever proud of this. To the other devs, I hope all of you are just as proud too. All of you are absolutely Fantastic. In the meantime, it looks like I'm gonna finally have to get the campaigns just so I can play this mod. This looks like an experience unlike any other, like a new game in its own right. Thank you all so much for sharing this with us
First off
THIS IS AMAZING
Second
Is it just me, or has anybody else thought that the spear of adun just looks like the front part of a much bigger ship?
Like every time I look at it, I think it just looks like the front part of a bigger ship
oh my god i love the Empire at War squandrons
Sadly, the custom campaign manager has also been made real scale. What you need to do is click on the top half of the download pixel, and install it to the desktop. Then increase your desktop resolution and show desktop in details mode rather than icons mode. There will be a seemingly blank line where the campaign manager is. Blow gently on the screen on that space, and the campaign manager should load up.
Thank you Grant and the people behind the scene. Awesome way to end the finale.
Best mod every
Thanks to everyone involved into the development and testing of it
You guys are insane in a good way
This is amazing. I love the two plane combat and having an actual impact on when will toy lose you support. Bravo, this campaign deserves a standing ovation.
Orca, you fucking madman! You are AMAZING!
Thank you so, so, so much for going as far as you did with this.
Rhyme, Mindhawk, Zephyr, you all are awesome too. Thank you all for this.
The only critique I have for this finale is I wish there was a way to attach an effect for the various Spear of Adun effects to fire from the ship towards a spot on the planet.
That's the kind of overkill polish that is 100% not needed, but if it could be done it would be awesome.
Giant Games Grant finally played a very Giant Game indeed!
Your playthrough of Real Scale Legacy of the Void, has been the best the mod/campaign that I've seen on this channel. Orca is an absolute *Legend* for making this mod. I don't own LotV, and I plan on buying it, just to play through this mod. This is fantastic
WHAT THE HELL, ORCA.
That was SO COOL.
Very sad to see you retire from SC2 modding, but holy hell did you pick a great way to go out.
Orca proving he is the greatest SC2 modder and then promptly retiring is the most badass and depressing move ever. So long you absolute legend. You will be missed.
Absolutely the most incredible Starcraft2 content I've ever seen. My hat come off to you, fella's!
Alarak managed to break free of his pylon jail and did survive til the end. Impressive.
Oh my god, Orca you've truly outdone yourself, this is sooo amazing!
That was one HECK of a thumbnail. I appreciate your work.
That is such a incredible mission! Your amazing work will be missed Orca, but good luck with what ever you will do next in life.
Protecting the ship in space? Now we are talking.
Very glad to see that you are having so much fun. Take care of yourself dude.
That's a really spectacular change to the mission by adding the two battle scenes, wowow! Great job Orca!
this is definitely the best mod for the SC2 campaign of this year so far
Real Scale WoL was the first series I ever saw of you, and this mod proves that Real Scale is the best mod out there. Simply Amazing.
It’s past midnight, I’ve got to get up early. But this just got posted… I guess sleep is for the weak
This series has been a delight to watch. I wish Orca well in future endeavors, and should they venture professionally into game dev... I wanna support that.
Orca, you outdid yourself over and over. A true masterpiece.
amazing fucking mod. will be playing a full playthrough myself. i hope orca finds great success in whatever he does next, even if its not modding for sc2 anymore.
Damn, I'm going to miss this incredible person that is Orca. But life calls. Damn good job
I love how Orca did the scaling for the spear of adun compared to everything else. This was a awesome idea@
