A New Beginning is a single player mod for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, focused on expanding the story from one of the game's original endings. In the mod, the player can expect a return to humble origins as the new Padawan Learner of Jedi Knight Jaden Korr, now famous for ending the threat of Tavion Axmis on Korriban one year ago.
A demo level for the mod was originally released on 28 February 2015, but further updates have been lacking in no small part to my own personal responsibilities and quite simply, time! Recently, time has again permitted more development on the project, though as a one-man team, progress is still somewhat slow.
What I'm currently looking for is feedback regarding the Yavin Temple level specifically as I've now deemed it complete! There are new cutscenes and I've kept the original level as a follow-on while I begin working on rebuilding it to be longer and more challenging.
Special Thanks to Redsaurus for his amazing tutorials!
The Yavin Temple is more of a roam-about level. Like the Jedi Outcast counterpart, you could run straight to the end, however there are rewards for opting to explore.
There are a few secret areas within the Yavin Temple level. There's a small guide to them below, so don't look if you want to try and find them yourself!
Please, please, please share bugs with me! I can't fix things if I don't know they're broken and believe me, if you stare at something for too long you'll stop looking at it properly. If something's broken there's a good chance that I simply overlooked it.
Suggestions are welcome too!
Finally, thank you very much for taking the time to read this and play through this content!
