Star Wars: The New Era is the first large Star Wars modification made on a next generation engine. It is produced by Invision Games, a group of 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 will give you a tense multiplayer experience for all flavours. Engage in quick Deathmatch battles, fight as a Jedi using the Force or use strategic teamplay in the Team Assault mode.

Report article Routine work in progress reports from us now in effect

We have begun using our showcase forum for TNE team members to post work in progress updates of their projects for the public to view/comment on. Today's update reveals the under construction map of the Naboo Theed Palace by Aigik and the Super Battle Droid and 21-B Medical Droid by DT.

It's been quiet on the news side from us lately, and I again apologize for the long periods between updates but I'm posting this today with great confidence in having more routine updates on our progress. In the past we've held off on news releases until we've had more "final stage" quality like media releases, however given the fact that most of us have work or school to deal with in addition to working on the mod, we sometimes go for long periods without being able to touch the various projects we're working on and thus finalize them for a photo session. For a while now we've had an empty section of our forums called Showcase (found here: Invision-games.com). I am pleased to announce we have finally begun using it. 

Team members will be able to post up and update the various projects they are working on for you to comment/give feed back on. It is my hope that a weekly or monthly news update similar to this will be posted with the latest updates and pictures. Please note that while regular members can't create topics in this particular forum section, they can reply to ones made by the team. Also note that these projects are considered to be a work in progress, and as such not complete yet. Level shots may contain badly lit or unfinished assets, models might be unfinished/missing textures, etc.

So, for our first update, we have the Naboo Theed Palace, being mapped by Aigik with assistance in texture design from Quakis:

The forum thread related to this can be found here: Invision-games.com

Next up are two player models being worked on by our main player modeler and animator; DT. These models will be included in the second release with the objective based Team Assault mode.

First is the Super Battle Droid:

Second is a 21-B medical droid:

So that wraps up our first WIP media release. I hope to be able to show off some pictures of what I've been working on the past few months soon, which includes Hoth and Endor for release 2 :p

Thanks for your continued support and patience!

SU-WEET! Awesome job guys! Ever since I got wind of this project I thought it was dead like half of the other HL2 mods I've seen, if you ever need a playtester, DROP ME A LINE!

(Oh, I'm trying to get my own mod started, if you have any tips on how to go about that, let me know...)

I don't think that it's called Theed Palace. Theed is the name of the Capital of Naboo. wait, let me check on the SW Wiki. Hot damn, It's actually called Theed Royal Palace. For all your fact needs, starwars.wikia.com is the place to go. Cheers.

So please try to play a bit with the light :) Thx
