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?”

Pure brilliance, can't wait for this mod guys it's gonna be so awesome. I'm a huge secret of mana fan and i was wondering what are your plans for multiplayer? Like will there be more than one gametype. Will it be cooperative singleplayer. If so that would be awesome. It would also be awesome if you could do battles against other players.
do you guys allow donations to support your hard work ?
nope, we are doing fine, please keep your money, as we aren't doing this for profit, we're doing this to realize a childhood dream of many.
is it possible to get like a demo made of some ingame action ?
actually - i was thinking about the same thing, the day before - maibe we do it, maibe not ;)
Been watching this mod like my bro tetsuo since early nov. before hl2 was even released...gotta be honest, I was kinda looking more forward to the release of this mod than hl2 :D it totally reminds me of my days growing up...me and tetsuo played that game to its max as im sure all of you did...anyway you guys are doin a phenomenal job...keep up the good work..oh yea do you guys allow donations to support your hard work..if so let us know...and one last thing...is it possible to get like a demo made of some ingame action...like just a fly through of a map? Just to get us droolin some more :)
Been watching this since about Nov i think, not sure, but when i saw it....my childhood came back to me...I love you guys, cant wait for this game to come out. If its anything like the SNES game ill be playing this games for hours on end. Keep up the good work, seems like its coming together very well.
we love you people too, we truely do !
you give us a reason to work our brains everyday.
it's the fans that build a game, we the developers are just tools
I love you. Please keep up the good work

Fake!
o well, as one of the team thats been able to walk around in our maps i can say that they are the best looking maps i've seen for a mod. Dieblein and Outlive bust their arse to make the source engine do all the crazy things that my concepts proposed. Its easy for me to pen a temple covered in waterfalls, its alot harder to make a waterfall in source that looks natural
To anyone calling those screenies fake: Tough very detailed they are easily possible. All that is required is a big imagination and lots of patience. Of course, some good concept art really helps too.. ;)
As for Source: This amount of detail can easily be handled and if the mappers of this mod can create such nice looking screenies, then I'm pretty sure that they have enough knowledge about the VIS process to keep fps within reasondable boundaries.
So in all: stop being jealous and just start being awed. I'm pretty sure that if you ask one of their level designers (or at least the one who made the map of which we can view the screenies) about their experience, that they'll give you a big list of previous projects or simply state that they already have worked so many years with different engines.
thx - the seiken densetsu game on the nintendo ds, is far from beeing a som2 (!) - it's a little 2D something in the manauniverse like sword of mana on gba
what you are really waiting for is right here - you're at home baby
cannot wait for this mod guys, awesome work.
Definatly much better than the constant gun ridden mods that keep coming out everyday ;p
Also, Secret of Mana 2 is being made for the Nintendo DS *CANNOT WAIT!*
