This is getting down right silly, coming up on two years into the project, no update on the blog in 1 year, no update here for 6 months....
Creator Fuzzwah on April 29
Coming up on 5 months with out an update..... How about a little something-something :)
Creator Jeff Rivera on December 4
It would be nice to know what's going on. Any updates at all out there?
Creator Justin Ng on December 3
Is this project still active? <3
Creator Mark on November 13, 2012
Been a while since an update here on kickstarter. Would love to know about some kind of schedule or see some more updates with more footage! <3
Creator David on October 25, 2012
Been a while with no updates.
As the SC2 scene continues to change and evolve I worry that scope creep for this project can keep pushing this off with no end in sight.
Or to put it another way will there be any Dinosaurs on this Dinosaur tour...
Creator Justin Agnew on July 16, 2012
Just returned from a 25 day trip to Europe. Including trips to the DreamHack and Ukraine. We'll be posting an update soon. In the mean time check our facebook page for updates in the mean time: http://www.facebook.com/StarNationMovie
Creator Philipp Riegger on July 16, 2012
So, any news?
Creator edwardhl on July 1, 2012
Whats the status with this project?? I haven't heard anything in 6 months.
Creator Gregory Gentry on February 6, 2012
I'm wondering if you are concerned at all about the nature of the scene making all the work you have done so far irrelevant the longer you wait to go into post-production? The way things are so volatile, with a tournament winner one week moving into near obscurity within just a few weeks later... Isn't it possible that the people you have spent so much time focusing on will be non-entities at release the rate you are going? White-Ra will likely always be relevant because he has himself become a brand, but of all the people you have spoken to, he is probably the only one. Maybe you can tell us more about the scope of what you are trying to do so that it doesn't seem like you might be dragging the project on farther than will be helpful? How long do you intend the film to be? Is another 200 hours of footage going to add? Assuming you will be done filming after that, how can you make 300 hours of film meaningful is something feature length? I hope you don't read my questions as accusatory. I am a huge fan of the work you have done so far and am seriously concerned out of my hope for the project.
Creator Justin Agnew on December 28, 2011
Expect a significant update at the beginning of the new year guys. I've been hunkered down putting together the backbone for the movie to figure out exactly what we need to shoot in 2012!
Creator BugAlugs on December 28, 2011
Hopefully the xmas rush will calm down and you get let rip with a few more updates on the StarNation project. J
Creator Brenden Keyes on December 7, 2011
Anything new to report Justin? Really looking forward to the next teaser.
Creator Justin Agnew on August 23, 2011
Enough people are asking me about it that I figured I would post in the comments here, yes it is possible to donate more if you would like. You can go here for all the relevant info: http://starnation.1501.net/index.php/blog/a-little-more-support-goes-a-long-way/
Creator Travis Grund on August 23, 2011
special tactics ftw
Creator GUERIN Jérémie on August 22, 2011
Very nice teaser, I'm really glad you're exploring the human and personal side of the players. All those guys are some sorts of heroes for me, I'm really happy to see the direction you're taking. With all those nice footages, I'm really looking forward the final version :D
I feel proud of contributing to this project.
Great work, gl, hf
Creator Max Spencer on August 22, 2011
Just to say this teaser video was awesome and I am so excited to see the final result. I especially liked the choice of music and the interview with White-ra. Also, just to say the interviews seemed well produced, with little background noise, generally away from the noisey setting of the gaming floor and this worked really well! Although it might be cool to get some interviews with players right in the heat of the moment for some contrast. So glad you got all the funding you needed for your project, it's going to be awesome.
Creator Willy on August 22, 2011
These interviews and videos you've gotten look and sound fantastic. White-Ra's "More gg, more skill" is absolutely epic. Can't wait!! :D :D :D
Creator Gregory Gentry on August 22, 2011
Everything you've shown us has just been fantastic. Keep pushing. I am so excited for this project. If you need any help - legwork, things that can be done electronically, administratively, (from a distance) anything at all, I'd love to volunteer some time if I can. I have a feeling this project is going to be extremely important for this community. I'd love to be able to give more than money if I can. No credits necessary! I believe in StarNation! Thanks for your work.
Creator Marcus on August 9, 2011
Completely agree Thomas, I have high expectations for this. :) I kind of wish had backed more money, is it possible to change that?
Creator Thomas Makinde on August 8, 2011
It's been way to long since the last positive comment...
Keep up the good work man! You have no idea how excited I am for you and for this project.
Creator Romana McDonald on July 21, 2011
Hey :) I just want to say that I think what you're doing is great. It's so important that the games and events get coverage by real people and everything.
Best wishes in all your endeavors!
/hug
Creator David Wannheden on July 15, 2011
Just a friendly reminder - For those who pledged and are expecting to be coached by a progamer, make sure they get to at least choose the race the player who will coach them is! It would be kinda silly if you are protoss and get coached by eg Select or Spanishiwa ;)
Good luck have fun :D

Creator Eric Houtman on July 15, 2011
glhf! Coming back from the NASL finals last weekend, I was amazed and humbled at the power of e-sports. Meeting people from all over the world, making friends, and having awesome conversations because of this game. The SC2 community is so amazing, I hope you can show not only its humility and passion, but also its potential.
Creator Kenneth Lee on July 14, 2011
95% the money I earn goes to paying off my student loans. The little bit left I tend to either save or spend on family or friends. I haven't much to spend on things that I consider to be frivolous. That being said, I've had my eye's on Star Nation since it was first announced. And honestly I really admire the ambition of the Star Nation team to take a chance on creating something that will bring a fresh and unique perspective into SC2 and development of esports around the world. This project has the potential to do great things for the game and esports and that is something I want to be a part of however small the role. Best of luck. GLHF
Creator alan on July 12, 2011
Justin, Good to hear from yea man. Jer and I are keeping the green side down here at the nursery! The Greenhouse manager position is always open if you ever need it!
Heya man you should check out Reddit SC2 page, I know its a very active SC2 page, and a good website to boot. Check out Rebel FM, Geekbox, Gamespy Debrefings ( I think we listened to them here at the nursery) these podcast talk about gaming quite and bit and they have an open letter/ comments at the end of there podcasts, shoot em a letter and possibly get some free pub. Anyways good luck! Speaking of SC2 i'm gunna pop it in now and play!
Creator Jeremy Arca on July 6, 2011
ever since i came across this, i've been playing a ton of sc2. thanks for doing this, you've inspired me and many other people!
Creator Justin Agnew on July 6, 2011
Thank you very much to every who has donated so far! I'm hoping to have an update for you guys before the weekend. I am trying get a few things worked out with the project and hope to have some great news for everyone!
PS whenever tells me 'glhf' when responding to my project it puts a serious smile on my face!
Creator Scott S on July 6, 2011
Fantastic start! What's really coming through in the teasers is everyone's passion. Not just to win, but to share in the SC experience. Besides the tournaments themselves, there are the casters, the players streaming games every night, the coaching, and of course the long legacy in Korea. So many facets to how people are able to pursue this passion, and in some cases make a living from it. Looking forward to seeing this all told.
glhf!
Creator Anders Ravn on July 5, 2011
Pledged yesterday, really looking forward to following the project. I just finished watching the Frag Movie, and was quite surprised to see how the gaming industry works in some ways. I would really want to know if there is some of the same stuff running around in the SC2 world, or if the teams have gotten their shit together and taking care of their players instead of abusing them. Because while watching Frag Movie, coming from an SC2 point of view, all that evil Frag movie portrais seems pretty far away from the world of gaming I'm used to.
So yeah, hope you'll look into this subject as well as showing how awesome Starcraft is.
Good luck!
Creator edwardhl on July 1, 2011
This looks so awesome!! Glad to help you out....glhf
Creator Harrison Chin on June 29, 2011
Loving where this is going and I've already donated.
I'm positive if the SC2 community heard about the new funding goal abroad you'd be able to achieve it quickly, adding the Korean scene in particular would really truly complete this documentary, looking at the GSL and rapidly growing new SC2 pro-houses taking over from BW stalwarts like KT or SKT1.
Creator David Fourman on June 27, 2011
Just donated $15. Really looking forward to the final product.
Creator Justin Agnew on June 27, 2011
Currently being converted! Should be up this morning, sorry for the delay!

400'th backer today! This thing is coming together.
Creator Rory Bryson on June 4, 2011
If you have enough extra $- GO TO KOREA!
See 'Tastosis' et al at GOM!
Love the intimacy and casualness of the footage so far- great music as well! Uplifting!
Thanks and good luck :)
Creator Adam Greenspoon on June 3, 2011
Justin,
It's fantastic that you reached your goal so quickly. Hopefully this will not only be great for the community but also an amazing experience for yourself. Pave your own way. Good luck!
Creator David on June 2, 2011
Congrats on making it, let us know if you need anything else! Looking forward to the stories behind the game, the pros and the regular joes :)

Hey guys, anyone going to BlizzCon this year? It'll be my first. I also have 4 tickets to sell if anyone's interested. Msg me if you are.
Creator Ryan Sanford on June 2, 2011
Let's get this guy to some more tournaments! :D If we keep pledging like this we could probably get him to Dreamhack or the GSL. ^^
Creator obsKura on June 2, 2011
Also pledged besides the fact this project is already fully pledged. I'm so impressed about this and hope you might include even more stuff with more money. So looking forward to this. Keep up the great work!
Creator Andrew Bell on June 2, 2011
Well done on reaching the goal. Perhaps if you continue to take submissions past your goal you could take a look at companies such as blip and justintv who form the infrastructure that makes amateur live streaming accessible, and if you're popular, profitable.
Creator BrahCJ on June 2, 2011
Congrats on making the goal!
I threw in $15 even though you're already there. I'm sure it'll help somewhere along the way!
Really looking forward to the finished product! Would love if you could get together with some ROOT players, and possibly even get to have a look at their house, or maybe EGs. What is really interesting me here is the focus on the players, and what they do not only in but outside of SC.
Sorry I couldn't throw in more, best of luck with all your endevours!
Creator ninesecondsleft on June 2, 2011
I'm looking forward to how this turns out! Congrats on meeting the goal!
Creator Brandon on June 1, 2011
As a person who doesnt play alot but watches a ton of vods this is really awesome those guys like Naniwa and Idra are legitimate athletes and the world needs to realize it takes just as much skill to play any game/sport at a pro competitive level no matter if its basketball or Starcraft 2
GL HF I support you 100%
Creator Sharuko on June 1, 2011
Would a person that gets the DVD with a $30+ pledge also get access to the full movie download?
Thanks and good luck with the project.
