Alright, so the particular game which I have decided to begin modding is one developed by Raven Software: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, a first and third-person shooter action game set in the Star Wars universe. Jedi Academy was released in September 2003 and received positive reviews, achieving an 81% aggregate score. Needless to say, JA was quite a popular game, and still continues to be so (albeit to a lesser degree, as it is slowly dying out) among numerous gaming communities across the globe.
Jedi Academy is powered by the same version of the Quake III: Team Arena engine used in its predecessor in the series, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, containing modifications to the Quake code to include lightsaber combat. In a new feature to the series, the player can modify the character's gender and appearance at the beginning of the game, and can construct a lightsaber by choosing the hilt style and blade color. The player takes control of the character Jaden Korr, a student at the Jedi Academy under the tutelage of Kyle Katarn. They must then complete various missions assigned to them by Katarn and Luke Skywalker.
Additionally, there is a multiplayer mode that allows the player to play against other people over a network. This multiplayer mode is what I will be basing my work on; projects Jedi_Mediator and I successfully complete are to be uploaded to a modding community/ database called JK3 Files. From there, our mods will be available for public download. I think that's all I shall say for tonight.
Until next time,
