20-08-07 / 18:30 : Jedi Knight Mod for JK Academy (cjed) | A Jedi Knight (DF2) mod for Jedi Knight: Academy is also in development. It is aimed at recreating the whole 21 levels of the original game. Some screenshots are available here. The project was started 3 years ago (texturing at first) and the work on the levels is making progress since 2 years. A feeling that I found on the description page and that I share :
"...the levels were huge and very well designed—take a look at the Nar Shadda maps, for example. You just don’t get that sense of sheer immense height and scale from any of the levels in JO or JA
I have always thought that the reason is the JK engine, as the later Quake 3 engine used for the following titles (JK2 Outcast and JK Academy) didn't succeed in rendering perspectives.
.
We also learn that a petition has been opened to ask LucasArts for releasing the source code of the JK engine, for free to the community. | | Comments | Write a comment | |
