AuroraJenkins Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 We'd like to announce that the TSL Restoration Project now has a shiny new website! shiny new website! We've been working on restoring the cut content for about a month now. Among other things, we're extending the ending, restoring the droid factory, and tweaking and restoring other fun dialogues and cutscenes. Why? Because we enjoyed the game greatly and we'd like to see it in a more complete state. We think that it would benefit greatly from the return of many of the removed scenes and areas. This is not an officially-sponsored project. We currently know of no other efforts to restore this missing content. The vast majority of the material we will be using will be just as it was intended to be as far as we can tell from developer notes. However, some sections have been tweaked and edited in order to form a more cohesive storyline. This is simply an announcement of a work in progress in order to inform others who may be interested in the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 uhm.... wow.... From the looks of things, you've already got a ton of this stuff working... I'm amazed (as in excited, not criticizing your abilities ) Everything is looking great, and I'll definitely be keeping tabs on this project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmerman Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Looks good! I definitely felt the same way- KOTOR 2 felt unfinished, unpolished at the end. Best of luck to the team to make the game better than before! Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 This is SOOOO Awesome that you guys and gals are working on all these points. I have already marked your page in my KOTOR II favs list.

ChuckX8oD Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 how does one make me run through this game again when Guild Wars comes out? Finish it, lol. cant wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Good luck to you and your team, But it is sad that fans would have to do this. I was talking to a friend one night about it and Its almost like the devs wanted it this way and left the content in there to let modders finnish the game for them.

I was talking to a friend one night about it and Its almost like the devs wanted it this way and left the content in there to let modders finnish the game for them. I have found over the years, in many ways the modding community is just as if not more creative and talented than the developers group. To some degree that is not a surprise as creativity does not respond well to deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 to Darth Khasei, I AGREE totally with you. I won't go into details but in my line of work I get many a call from developers asking for a "remote" graphic designer due to time constraints. We're usually more talented and get the job done better. Hence why you'd be hard pressed to find a robe one of us has done that doesn't look better than the original. We put much more time into our work. _________________________________________________ I checked through the website for the Telos Restoration Project and the sites awesome and every thing you guys are working on WILL become the most downloaded mods (if you'd insult a project that big by calling them that) I'd call them "Modular Completions."

Emperor Devon Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 This looks like a truly fantastic mod... I'll definitely keep my mind on it! I never though about it before, T7... It really is sad fans have to finish making the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beancounter Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Originally posted by T7nowhere Good luck to you and your team, But it is sad that fans would have to do this. I was talking to a friend one night about it and Its almost like the devs wanted it this way and left the content in there to let modders finnish the game for them. I agree with you on that. I think the devs were fustrated by the deadlines and left the code in there to leave a hint of what they wanted to do in the first place. I would have rather waited for a month or two and get a more complete ending. Oh well, that is the way of the game development world - it does not sell as much when it is released in Feb then in Dec. Aurora, good job so far in putting the pieces together. I can not wait until your team releases a revised ending! I wish I had more free time and I could help out!

Captivus Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I think it may change your language (I mean all the text) to english but I'm not enteirly sure ...

In one case, thus far (although it is just some preliminary work, and this may very likely change) we had to add in an edited VO in restoring an incomplete dialogue. Iirc, we don't have any playtesters with non-English versions of the game at the moment, so I'm not exactly sure how the custom text would appear.
