Star Wars: The New Era

Half-Life 2 mod |

Star Wars: The New Era was the first large Star Wars modification attempt made on Source Engine. It was produced by Invision Games, a group of over 60 modders and Star Wars fans that have evolved from the Movie Battles 2 community and a mod team working on "Star Wars: Source" before. Star Wars: The New Era was supposed to become a class-based multiplayer experience featuring objective-based scenarios. The project was abandoned in 2013 after all of the remaining team members dropped due to time constraints after starting to study or working in the industry. Initially, the latest state of the mod was planned to be released under Creative Commons license to allow the community to continue the work. Unfortunately, getting in contact with many former team members in order to open-source their work did not work out, so the decision was made not to release any assets without express permit by the respective authors.

Report RSS A tour through Jabba's Palace

We are nearing Christmas and Invision Games already has a couple of presents for you now. Our level designer Fazzer and texture artist Shadow have been working very hard to create an authentic Deathmatch map of Jabba's Palace on Tatooine.

Posted by on

This is the fourth Deathmatch map for Star Wars: The New Era. Jabba's Palace spans across several levels: From the well-known throne room seen in Return of the Jedi to the darkest dungeons where a hungry Rancor might just wait for you.

Fazzer and Shadow have been working well together to make this map as authentic and detailed as possible. We hope you enjoy it, too. All 10 screenshots of the Palace are available in our Moddb image gallery.

Looks good. I've been to your site and am very impressed with the design. Question is, when are you looking at for a beta release?

We'll probably be able to announce a more concrete date than "2008" soon. But at the moment, I am unable to tell you precisely, sorry!

Oh yeah, sorry for double post! Is the Rancor pit and the bay where Jabbas Sand Yacht is in there too?

How is this battle going to pan out? Stormtroopers vs Jabbas Palace guards (Klattu, Gammorean Guards, Lando in Jabba rig, Greedos etc?!
