Title: AKIVA: VILLAGE
Post by: {AR}MetalKiller on November 17, 2025, 11:17:06 AM
Hi all,

after several months of work, my map is finally in a playable state.
This is still a preview version and a few things need polishing, but I'd really appreciate any feedback you can give.

The map takes place on the jungle planet Akiva, in a small village inspired by various Asian architectural styles.
Although the planet exists in Star Wars lore (you can find it on Wookieepedia), this map is not connected to canon.

Below are some impressions of the map.

If you would like to have the loading screen for the map, download it from the loading screen link.
Be advised to make a backup of your original files!
Extract the contents (aki1.lvl, load.lvl) to GameData/Data/_LVL_PC/Load.

Big thanks to the GameToast and SleepKillers discord servers for educating me on several topics.  8)
Thanks to Dave (wsa30h) for porting to the classic collection.


It's very likely that we will play the map on multiplayer on the AR server (SWBFspy) in the next weeks.
Feel free to join us.
