Star Wars: Jedi Academy Windows, RTX game

I thought I'd share some of the things I've been working on for the first update of Holocron Challenges.

Masters of the Teras Kasi
I've added a new gametype in called Masters of Teras Kasi (MOTK) which is based on the PS1 Star Wars fighting game of the same name.

In this mode you fight eight opponents across eight stages that are randomly picked making it different each time you play. Once you've defeated all eight opponents you're taken to the boss stage where you have to defeat the final boss.

Currently I've built two maps for this mode, one which is based on the characters and stages that appear in the PS1 game and another based on The Force Awakens. I also plan on making a third map for this mode based on The Phantom Menace.

The stages themselves are based on the aesthetics of the PS1 game so you fight your opponent on a flat plane and the rest of the map is just a skybox. You can either kill your opponent or try to work them into a position where you can push them off the plane for a ringout.

Ladder
There were 8 ladder maps included in the first release of Holocron Challenges and I'm planning to add more to that in the next update with these three maps.

The first is the Ord Mantell duel map from the base game that I've touched up slightly. Here you'll fight the Disciples of Ragnos led by Tavion.

As part of making The Force Awakens MOTK map I needed to build D'Qar (the Resistance Base) as one of the stages. Rather than just leaving it as a part of MOTK I've spun it off into a ladder map where you can fight Resistance members from across the three Sequel Trilogy movies.

The final ladder map in the next release will be based on the Massassi Temple multiplayer map in Jedi Outcast and you will have to fight opponents from that game like Desann and Tavion. I don't have any screenshots of this one yet as I haven't started it!

Characters
Although I'm not planning to add any new characters into the next release I am going to be adding in some new skins for the existing ones which are listed below.

Arenas
The Arenas map in the first release was the thing that took me the longest to make because each room has a completely different theme from each other. For the next release even though I'm not planning to do a completely new Arenas map I am going to work on remixed version of the first map which will have a lot of the same rooms but the fights in them will be different. So on Scarif instead of fighting Krennic and his Stormtroopers you'll be fighting Jyn and her Rebels, in Snoke's Throne Room instead of fighting Snoke and his Praetorian Guards you'll be fighting Rey and Kylo etc.

It won't be completely the same though as I do plan on removing some rooms and making new ones so there will be some suprises if you've played the first map!

Final Thoughts
I hope that gives you some idea of what I've been working on for the last few months, I'm not sure when the next update will be out but I'm hoping to have it finished before the end of the year. In the mean time if you haven't played the mod it might be worth jumping in and trying it!
