CLAIMING YOUR REWARDS
![]()
After you have started any game instance of StarCraft Universe on your region of choice, type -displayPlayerHandle into chat and you will see the above message pop up. Copy and paste the displayed S code and send it to us as a message through Indiegogo at the END of the campaign. (We will ask for them) We will then verify that you have backed us and put you into our system. On launch day, you will receive your rewards with each new Hero you create! It's that easy!
![]()
Needless to say, we burned through our Kickstarter funds a long time ago. Backing us at the finish line will help Upheaval Arts dig its way out of debt, continue support, and help to reward those who put in their blood and tears to help us along the way.
There is literally no risk like with other projects that may not deliver. Our game is complete and will launch shortly.
![]()
It's time to make some noise. Even if you can't afford to back us, we'd love it if you helped us spread the word about SCU! Our biggest hope for is that it attracts a large and healthy player-base, and maybe even inspires Blizzard to take on the task of building an official StarCraft based MMO some day!

What is StarCraft II?
StarCraft II is a multiplayer RTS PC video game (StarCraft II Wiki). Players create and maintain a military force to defeat their opponents. Here is an example of StarCraft II gameplay.
What's the difference between a standalone game and a mod?
Most mods are like mini-games, but like StarCraft Universe, some are complete re-workings of the StarCraft II engine which make the game play completely differently than it was originally designed. These custom games are created using the map editing program included with StarCraft II and are published online through Battle.net.
Will I need to own StarCraft II or its expansions to play this?
NOPE! The StarCraft II: Starter Edition, which is FREE, is all you will need to play StarCraft Universe!
Didn't you already run a Kickstarter campaign?
As stated in the overview, we ran a Kickstarter in 2013 to get the game funded. Since we don't own the IP on StarCraft, we obviously can't sell our game, so we're using Indiegogo to gain funds to continue the project's development post release. Please note, information and presentation on our Kickstarter page is quite dated.
Is this legal!?
Yes. Blizzard has approved crowd funding for custom games in the past, including ours, so long as they comply with their Acceptable Terms of Use Policy.
