Anyone know if this is just the base game, or if it includes Brood War as well?
It'd be very cool if they open-sourced it, a la older IdTech games.

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Check the forum post... Probably they will update the main website soon. I just installed the Mac version (sadly, it doesn't work well with my display)
Interestingly, when the game launches or exits on my mac, i can see my desktop flash briefly as it changes into and out of what looks like ultra-high-res mode, a kind of 1:1 pixel retina screen mode. I wonder if the game is rendering the oldschool resolution but then nearest-neighbor-scaling it to ultra high res for no good reason?
The new remastered version to be released in Summer is the same client as the normal version - I'm guessing 1.18 is actually here to test new engine for that release.

#13My personally most played RTS. Is actually amazing that this game is still being patched. And also used in AI classes. EDIT: https://youtu.be/L7XiE_V0PZ8

I downloaded a previous version 0.8something (I'm not at home to verify) and it did include Brood War.

It includes Brood War, too.

#16Hopefully they'll add linux support with that new opengl backend they have
Pretty unlikely given they've never released a game for Linux before, despite having OpenGL support and internal builds.

#17The only issue: it was not adapted to run either on high-res screens (retina display) or on wide screens
The Mac client runs at 1280x960 (double 640x480). The font in the menu looks like it's been upscaled or redrawn, but everything else is just pixel-doubled.

#18Is it native or wined on macOS?

Anyone know how well it runs on wine?
