Article Topics

I think if we can get enough editors from different suburbs of our community we can churn out some pretty decent stuff I think content from the competitive scene would be a good addition personally.

@@Ping, @ one of you guys step up. I wanted them to approach you about it but it seems things have changed (?)

I guess I could come up with some stuff, mostly talking about the past because there is nothing else to report. The stuff we talked about in a PM @@eezstreet would help a lot.

The ESL stuff? I was hoping you'd contact them for their database or if they could get the data.

That's unfortunately not an option, as I wrote in the PM.

I have an idea (and the means) for a how-to gaming article:

How to set up Jedi Academy for a Clone Wars style, old-fashioned battle droid hunt -- your chosen character against an army of various projectile weapon equipped battle droids.

It may require that I bundle a few assets together into a mod just for the article, but nothing too hard. In fact, the focus of the article would be to make it as easy as possible to set up this MP game mode, even for total beginners.

I'm thinking gaming articles like this may help to attract people (back) to JKA. We need to give inspiration and show people what kinds of novel gaming can be accomplished with JKA and the JK series. New and fun ideas that help to revive the game and its community.

We could do a follow-up with stormtroopers as well... maybe... for some Rebels inspired action.

Is anyone digging this?

I'm lost. Is this an article idea or a mod?

It's a creative excercise... XD No, not really. It's a gaming article accompanied by some customised assets repackaged in order to make it easier for people to set the gameplay up. (Or, alternatively, with just a set of links for files to download from JKHub.) Think of it like a gaming magazine multimedia article -- you know, like those magazine articles that used to have files on a CD...

I was thinking of writing it up as a fun article (and step-by-step guide), accompanied by images/screenshots.

Edit: Maybe I could even shoot a gameplay video...
