Epic Challenge Mod V (the final ECM)

[RJA]

At last.

Years have passed, and I feel like I'm playing less and less at this game, which made my childhood and early aduldhood.

And I hate to leave without a gift. So, this final chapter is dedicated to all of you, all of us, Jedi Knight lovers, Kyle Katarn's friends.

And this time, another kind of story.

Not long after Jerec's demise, Kyle and his apprentice Mara Jade are sent with Luke Skywalker to investigate a cosmic temple invaded by the remnants of the Empire. But they were unable to understand what they found at this time. They only knew it was a sort of holocron of the Light Side. But today, a cult of the Force called The Order of the Lost Flame is growing, and in a bold move, they have managed to steal the artifact from Luke Skywalker's hands. For the Jedi Order is not what it once was. The temple has burned, many apprentices were killed following a tragic betrayal, and few defenders of the Order and justice in the galaxy remain active. Kyle Katarn is no longer one of them. A lone wanderer, our veteran is now sixty years old. Yet, a vision from the Force puts him back on the path. The galaxy is in danger. One last stand will lead our heroes, along with a new generation, to uncover the truth behind the acquisition of the holocrons—revealed to be forgotten deities of the Force. Past, present, and future are intertwined, and a long, dark journey awaits Kyle, linked to the Clone Wars, higher realities, and many other secrets…

 

Let me introduce to you...

 

 

Do you need to know the previous mods to play this one ?

Absolutely not. Each ECM has its own vibe, and even if some times, things are connected, they are all stand-alone.

 

How many maps ?

A lot, as usual, but maybe less than the previous ones for the main part. I tend to create inventive challenges, and to vary the gameplay a lot.

 

SP Only ?

For the main story, yes. But for the whole mod ? NO. For the first time, I will release a lot of MP maps with creative gameplay (platform racing, co-op challenges, duels in places from all the five mods). So yes, still a lot of new maps, of course !

 

New features ?

Of course ! New saber colors, weapons, force powers (including Force Destruction from DFII, and Force Elements, a new kind of power...)

But also a bunch of new AI classes.

 

Is it really going to happen ?

Yes, already 6 maps made, almost 7.

 

What about "The Path of Lana"

I don't have the motivation to do a whole lore about ECM anymore. But all my work on this little spin-off was readapted for ECMV. So, yes, you will play those levels !

 

Is Kyle getting old ?

Of course he is. Like any os us, those two decades have changed him ! It will be his last adventure. The last with me, by the way.

 

What about the droid attack on the wookies ?

Yes.

And now... pictures !

 

 

The first level is set-up in the Mysteries of the Sith era...

 

 

 

 

After this, back to the present days. Decades later...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See you soon, apprentices...

This looks and sounds pretty rad.  I'll be giving it a download when it's ready.

Big fan of your Epic Challenge Mods, and this looks great so far! In my mind I still think of the more cartoony Nintendo art style of your early ones but I really like the more Star Wars-like vibe you're going with in this one. I prefer it and fits the game well.
