(Carbot's YouTube channel also includes unofficial animated series based on Blizzard game series Diablo and WarCraft.)Īs you can see in the above gallery, all of Burton's existing designs have been translated into the working game in their silly, bulbous, flat-shaded glory.
Instead, it transforms every single graphical element in the game, from menus to sprites to between-mission briefings, to look like the Carbot Animations animated series 'StarCrafts,' now in its seventh season on YouTube. The Cartooned DLC does not add any new gameplay or mechanical content to the StarCraft Remastered package. Specifically, StarCraft: Cartooned looks like a Carbot Animations cartoon-because the YouTube channel in question, operated by Canadian artist and animator Jonathan Burton, was tapped to create Blizzard's first full cosmetic overhaul mod for a retail game.
It redraws every single piece of art in the classic RTS game to look and animate like a children's cartoon, without otherwise changing the core gameplay. StarCraft: Cartooned is now live at Blizzard's online store as an official $10 add-on to 2017's StarCraft Remastered.
This is not a prank or a proof of concept.
