Story:
“A long time ago at the peak of the High Kingdom of Pandura, a group of seers looked into legends of a powerful force believed to be the origin of life; this they called ‘Gan’, though modern peoples know it as ‘Divinia’. The ancients sought to utilize Gan as a weapon; in doing so, their perverse intentions spawned the malignant ‘Gan-Ti’, or ‘anti-life’. Infusing Gan-Ti into artifacts, the godlike High Kings ruled the Panduran Archipelago with an iron fist.
Eventually, rebellion arose and the Order of Archkeepers was formed of the most noble warriors to free the people. They managed to capture the relics of Gan-Ti and cast them into the fiery pits of Mt. Suvius near the shores of Oria island. With the evil power of the relics suppressed, the monsters that terrorized the countryside were slain and the old Kings overthrown. Peace had come.
As of late, however, rumblings have been heard from Mt. Suvius, and the wise have come to fear an eruption. With a reckless young King having just assumed the throne of Oria, will the powers of Gan-Ti again fall into the hands of the most powerful, or can a new force arise to combat the inevitable?”

Wow, very, very impressive. I am a big fan of the snes games, brings back memories.. haha! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your kind words! Be sure to know you can always stop by in icq and exchange thoughts. Its just that we dont want to feel forced to compete with "other" Hl2 mods all the time
I see you guys are taking the same approach as I'm taking.. ;)
As long as you don't have school or eqivualent, then you'll make fine progress.. :P
As for the screens: they still look great! These maps are a fine example of not doing a detail overkill, but applying the right amount of details at the right spot. Whomever is mapping it is still doing a fine job.
As for you guys not accepting money: I think that's just great, honestly! I can't think of the insane amount of mod teams who are asking for money on their websites to support their hard work. (Which, as previously stated, should be a hobby which you do for your own enjoyment.)
Though I myself haven't played the game on which this mod is based, the media and cool attitude of the team certainly get me exited.
From a modders perspective I also completely understand the media stop, so I'll just bookmark the Mana website in my favorites and drop by every now and then.. ;)
me <3 this mod :)
awesome interview and new screenshots..keep up the good work :)
No... way! Secret of Mana mod?! I wanna play it!!! Great idea and concept WIPs. Lets just hope you guys can finish this w/o quitting halfway through.
