Originally started as a map-pack, the project outgrew itself and started a new life, a stand-alone mod. The action adventure (with RPG elements) takes place in the fantasy world of Loria, a Human kingdom besieged by conflict with the Orcs. A group of heroes, which includes you, is being cast down by the All-Seeing-Eye to save humanity once again. Travel alone or with your friends in co-operative mode, through the rich and colourful world of Loria and end the Orc's evil reign. Land of Legends uses a Sven Co-op 3.0 code base, but replaces all original content, surpassing SC's origional customisability. Our model and mapping style ranges from toony to semi-realistic. We're trying to build a living and colourful world for the player to be in. This MOD was in production from 2005 to 2009 by a small team of developers called DevEd and was released in December 2009.

Due to one member of the Development Team leaving, we're currently looking for new Team members. This update also features some new content that has been created last month.

No news is good news, so this news is, potentially, going to be bad news. After some internal arguments one of the mappers, goanna, has quit the development team. He's no longer supporting the 4 maps he made for the main-story line of in total 15 maps. This leaves a gap in the mod, which is in need of filling up. I will probably have to do this myself, but since I don't have too much time on my hands, I've put up a position in ModDB's new Jobs section with the specifications for the job. So, if you're a Half-Life 1 mapper looking for a new challenge, let me know. That would speed up the development of the MOD for a great deal.

We were pretty close to release, so this is a major setback for the mod. I was planning to release a new video this month, but that obviously has to wait a little longer now. As an alternative, I'll show you the new NPCs that have been made last month. On the left you can see the new commandable NPCs and on the right new female NPCs which you'll encounter in the urban areas.

The commandable NPC's were suggested by Beretta in the comments, so thanks for that. If you have any innovative gameplay idea's that might fit the mod, do not hesitate to leave a comment. And again, if you're a skilled Half-Life 1 mapper and interested in this project, drop me a line through the Private Message system.
