W.I.P. Tatooine: Raka's Quest (RPG/Quest Map)

[Breakdown]

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

Jedi knight Olos and his guardian, Raka. Veterans of the clone wars.  Raka was assigned to protect the Jedi, Olos during the Clone Wars, and since, they have become good friends. After Order 66 was initiated, Raka swore he would continue to protect Olos with his life, and that no imperials would lay their hands on him. Raka and Olos travelled the galaxy, undetected from the empire. Soon, news of a Rebellion  reached Raka and Olos, and they decided to join the Alliance and fight for the galaxy.

Tatooine Galactic Civil War

Raka and Olos are travelling through the Outer Rim terretories, when suddenly, an Imperial star destroyer appears above Tatooine. TIE fighters are launched, and the two are forced to fight them off, though the resistance was broken through, and Raka and Olos were shot down and sent pummeling into the Tatooine surface.


Raka crawls from the wreckage, coughing smoke and sliding across blades of twisted metal. Much to his surprise, his comlink had connection, and quickly he alerted for help from the Alliance.

"Are you injured sir?"
"No, I'm fine..I don't know about the others.."
"Others?"
"A jedi and a droid."
"Do you have a location you could give me?"
"Tatooine desert. Canyons. I can't see anything else."
"Roger. We will not be able to send you any help, however, there may be an Imperial outpost nearby. If you can make it there, stay undetected. Attempt to find a small fighter, if you can, there is a Rebel cruiser above the surface in your area, judging by your description the canyons. Be careful sir."
The comlink died out.

Raka turned to the wreckage.

Singeplayer:

Olos's cloak billowed in the wind and smoke, clinging to the gnarled body of the ship. There was no body. The droid was on it's side at middle of the wreckage, it gave two whispering beeps, and then shut down. Raka stared at the wreckage grimly.

Olos has become one of the force now. I must do this alone.

And Raka set off through the dangerous deserts of Tatooine, searching for the imperial outpost.

Multiplayer:

Olos lay down near what used to be the front end of the ship. Ash covered his face and blood trickled from his nose. However, he was breathing. His lightsabre was still attatched to his belt, undamaged. The droid was in the middle of the wreckage, beeping ad chirping. It had a few scratches and dents but nothing serious that Raka could see.

Raka looked to the west. His eyes widened. There was an imperial troop heading towards the wreckage to investigate. Hurriedly,  Raka went to wake Olos...

So, here it is, the official announcement of (I think) the first SWBF1 RPG style/Quest map! This is being made by me and YJJ (he is doing a brilliant job on reskins and models), and progress so far is I'd say  around 60 percent.

Basically, the idea is to travel the desert to capture and destroy checkpoints, overcoming challenges (such as deep ravines as seen in the pic, or freeing rebel prisoners) and destroying enemies. I can guarantee you your journey from the crashed ship all the way into the imperial outpost will not be easy,I am making sure this will be difficult to play, but fun all at the same time

Even so, this is very early stages,  just remember that when viewing the screenshots...

And much more...

I will update this probably every day with new pictures of the map coming along! I have no set deadline in mind, but I am hoping for the end of the month, though it depends on stuff like when YJJ's computer will be fixed and any bugs I may overcome.

(With credit to Hardcore, who gave me ideas and motivation)

[aeria.]

Will it be just a simple reskin and map or will we see some interesting weapons?

[Breakdown]

We might see some new weapons, depends on what I feel like.

Raka will have a new model by YJJ reskinned to fit his character, so no shipped stuff there

Also, the map will contain quite a few custom props made by YJJ

[TarnishedWit]

So is it only going to be a one-sided map to play, where you're only that one person? ANd how do you think this map would fare in multiplayer?

[Breakdown]

That brings me to something I forgot to say in the first post,

There will be a MP version that is modified for the suiting of online play.

Instead of just playing as Raka, instead you and your online friends can play as a party of other to join raka on his quest, such as a droid companion a ship pilot, etc. Sort of like KotoR

this looks real cool. maybe a speederbike run through a canyon would be fun 

[khy]

That was quick.

Thanks for the comments guys...

there's a picture of the nice toasty Y-Wing, Raka's ship

I'll take a few more pictures, to get a better view of YJJ's reskin

[MileHighGuy]

cool, maybe add a burnt depression to the terrain for the impact crater 

[Breakdown]

I added one, it's just not showing up from that angle

[TarnishedWit]

it looks shockingly well-preserved for a ship that just crash-landed

[Breakdown]

Yeah, I realise that, we'll probably change the model anyway

[MileHighGuy]

or you could make its chunks into props 

[Breakdown]

True, but in my opinion I don't see how a soldier could come out of a ship ripped to shreds and still have full health xD..unless I changed the health to add for more challenge...*evil ideas*

Also, YJJ and I are going by a rule where we must showcase at least ONE new screenshot of material a day,  well I guess unless we are busy, such as tomorrow, when I might be going into the city for the day, but yes, It's just as a reassurance that this is being completed, and just so we can show you what we're doing

[TarnishedWit]

is there a way for someone to start out with lowered health? if so, it'd be easier for the first part of the mission if he found health
