harIII Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire -----Plot----- It is a perilous time for the galaxy now that an exhaustive civil war has taken a hold of the Empire’s gaze. The treacherous group of traitors, under the name the Rebel Alliance, have struggled for the past five years in the efforts of destroying the imperial government in hopes of returning the peace of the old Republic. Amid the turmoil, the Emperor has filled his mind with the destruction of the Alliance so he may continue his Dark Reign on the greatest throne of power anyone has ever known. The Alliance has come to its near destruction as the Dark Lord hunts down the remaining leaders of the Rebels.

Dak Drexl Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Wow, this looks incredible! I've just recently started my own little OT mod (though much smaller) only to be thwarted by this! So, is this kind of a story behind the OT? Needless to say, I'm excited for this as well. It's always great to see the announcement of a big mod with already considerable progress.
harIII Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 This is the story of a 501st Clone War Veteran who is now serving with Vader and his secret task force of Force Sensitive agents. It will follow the cannon as best as possible and will bring you to a final confrontation with the Emperor and Vader (like I said it will follow the cannon as close as possible).
Time Lord Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 You do realize that there's an official LucasArts game called Shadows of the Empire? There's also a comic and a novel. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shadows_of_the_Empire
Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I CANNOT WAIT! It has the gameplay of kotor and the storyline of A New Hope! So when does it take place in relation to the movies?
Canderis Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 The beginning level is the Tantive IV so.... EDIT: This mod is going to end up having many newly modeled areas.
harIII Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 You do realize that there's an official LucasArts game called Shadows of the Empire? There's also a comic and a novel. Yes, well about a month or two into the project. But heck, this is a mod, where we can decide everything that happens. I'm sticking with the title.
newbiemodder Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 It looks like you've done a lot of really good work here. Keep it up. It looks great.
Holty1-5 Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 looks excellent is it a new vader model or is it that guys who's name i cant remeber Avo or somthing like that
JuniorModder Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I like Zorin the best! (the voice actor he got is spectacular! ) JM
harIII Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 If you look at the history (which only team members know) I believe so far Oriha or Armand are the most interesting.
HdVaderII Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 is it a new vader model or is it that guys who's name i cant remeber Avo or somthing like that Avol made the original Vader model, but I wasn't aware that he had given anyone permission to use his model in a mod before he left into the great unknown. If it is his, then I don't think you'd be able to release the mod with his Vader model in it.
harIII Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 It is Avol's model but we have a legitimate way of "using" it in the mod. I spoke to an administrator who gave me the ok on it. But regardless I'm still going to try getting permission.
none223 Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Is this a TC, SC, or just Expansion? I am questioning the cannonity of putting Rebellion Era with KotOR Era...
Trench Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 It's a total conversion. Besides, mods are non-canon. Canonicity is not a problem here. This'll be a cool mod.
Canderis Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 The way I see mods are interactive fan fics
JuniorModder Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 If you look at the history (which only team members know) I believe so far Oriha or Armand are the most interesting. Hehe I was kidding, I was just referencing the AMAZING voice actor for Zorin. JM
TheHiddenJedi Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Looks prety sweet cant wait for it to come out. If theres anything I can do to help let me know.
JuniorModder Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Though I'm doing Zorin already I'm willing to audition for other characters. JM
