You've been working at home on your own Dark Forces level, and are setting some flags in the starting sector to values that had never been tried before. There's a blinding light, and you suddenly find yourself in an abomination of your own house. You realize that the Jedi Engine has sucked you in, and turned your house into a Dark Forces level. You know what to do: your goal is to get the Death Star plans, and get out. |
The level takes place in a house, and the author has recreated several of the standard things we might find in a regular house. Of course houses don't usually have secret passageways (there are a LOT of secrets in this level) but we can assume that's the Jedi Engine in effect. The Engine seems to enjoy mutating aspects of our everyday life into things from Dark Forces. The dog is an interesting interpretation; I wonder what Boba Fett used to be! One of the more enjoyable things about this level is that the author has managed to create some very interesting things, like trees, a computer, and more using only the Jedi Engine. There are no new 3DOs, or FMEs. The tree in the picture is a good example of what can be accomplished. I enjoyed trying to figure out what different parts of the residence used to be. The best thng to do with this level is just to walk around and see what you can find. There are lots of interesting things in here. I won't spoil it by describing all of them; you can download the level to see for yourself. |
I
really had fun while playing this level. There's no reason to stay within
the guidelines of Dark Forces or Star Wars when doing stuff like this, and
the author really seems to have a great time here. I suppose he might have
added a few new things to the level, but I enjoyed it just the way it is.
I hope there might be a few more levels like this in the future from
different authors.
