Short interview with Browder
Sydarm at StarCraft.incgamers.com spoke with Dustin Browder on the evening of Saturday the 13th, the lead designer of StarCraft 2 being mysterious as always, Dustin Browder hints on some surprises:
Yea, I am taking a short break to talk with the fans. I will be going back to work shortly.
You working a lot of hours due to beta crunch time?
Yea, hopefully I can take a few hours off tomorrow.
Beta this week?
Nobody really knows. It depends a lot on testing and how things go. QA is beating on the game as hard as they can. When we get a good build, it will go out.
Ah, so Battle.NET is ready, just waiting on a good solid build?
Battle.NET is part of the build :)
Care to comment on what the "rested points" are on the Battle.NET screenshots from the preview? Does it mean winning games can earn you a higher rank quicker?
No. Wait and see :)
