Welcome to the first progress report of the new year! I hope your 2021 has been a great one so far, this month has been great for the mod, so let's get started!
NEW CHARACTERS
As the mod is a sandbox mod, we should always be in a situation where we can offer you characters so you can create your ultimate star wars stories. This next update will feature brand new characters to the mod as well as updates to pre-existing ones.
Such new characters will include:
- Luke Skywalker (The Mandalorian + Battlefront II)
- Cobb Vanth
- The Bad Batch
- X2
- K-2SO/KX Security Droid
- Jerec
- And many more
NEW WEAPONS
With new characters should come new weapons. Since KotF 2.1's launch in 2018, we hadn't added any new weapons, be it out of laziness or we were busy focusing on other things. For development of this update, we will be looking into adding new weapons. We'll have more details later on.
FATHER VS. SON
Last progress report, I stated that there would be a comparison video between the old Father vs. Son and the new. However over the course of this month, a lot of development was performed on other aspects of the mod, and a good break was needed. As a result, Father vs. Son was not worked on whatsoever during the month of January.
NEW GAME PLUS
Mentioned in the last progress report, a New Game Plus option was mentioned as a possible new feature for the Jedi Outcast campaign. During the month of January, this mode was successfully coded in and is fully functional for both Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy.
What is New Game Plus? Thank you for asking.
New Game Plus is a special mode available for both Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy which will provide you with randomized, tougher enemy configurations, while also keeping it somewhat lore friendly. So while you won't be fighting Clone Troopers and Droidekas, you will potentially see Shock Troopers and Purge Troopers standing guard in important locations.
While the mode is called "New Game Plus", this will not have any effect on difficulty. You will be able to access this new mode regardless if you're playing on Padawan difficulty, or Jedi Master difficulty.
Considering you guys' continued work on the mod, attributing the lack of new weapons to "laziness" hardly seems fair!
Was somewhat joking, adding new weapons to the code is a very tedious process
"out of laziness" bursts out laughing. But you have added new lightsaber hilts since KOTF2.1's launch?
Weapons meaning guns
Sorry I haven't returned to beta testing for awhile. School is back, and I think I need to take a leave of absence from the Galactic Legacy team for awhile.
Alright, thank you for letting me know
new game plus, wow what an epic idea, brilliant cant wait to have a blast with that
