On The Soapbox

Editorial by Jeff Walters


Yeah, I know we're late . . .

But it's been a busy month to say the least. I would have had Darkness Falls out earlier, but I wanted to really get the hang of JK first. You can read my review to see what I thought, but basically....it rules :) This month's editorial will be a very very short one. This is because it I made the mistake of leaving it till last...and well...I'm exhausted.

You may be wondering where Part 3 of 'The Making of Mt. Kurek' is.....well...I basically didn't have the time. The final part will be very involved and detailed and so I thought it would be best left to November or December when I have the time to do it right. In it's place though, is the beginning of a great article series by Mark Haidekker.

I would also like to say that I'm looking for a permanant writer to join the Darkness Falls crew. I'm after someone who knows their way around the Jedi Knight community and is preferrably part of an Order. If you're a decent writer and would like to make your mark then please contact me

Dark Forces on last legs . . ..

Many of you may say that it's been on it's last legs for almost a year now, but the release of Jedi Knight has (as many feared) drained much of the life out of Dark Forces. The best Dark Forces site on the net - The Crow's Nest - has practically shut up shop and many other sites are looking shaky.

Even though I too have made the switch from Dark Forces to Jedi Knight.....as long as people are still making levels for DF, this magazine will always have some Dark Forces content. There are still many great DF levels on the way. The one being made by Jereth Kok, Peter Klassen and Steve Miller is starting to sound like it will be something special.

Next Issue....and the future

Hopefully....the feature piece in next month's issue will be an indepth tutorial on how to edit the COG of Jedi Knight!! Brian Taylor (the guy who made the first ever COG patch for JK) will likely be heading that up. There will also be an interview with Alexei Novikov, one of the main guys behind the soon to be Jedi Knight Level Editor - JED. Also, Darkness Falls and my webpage - Bespin, will both be moving to a new server in a little over a month. Not sure exactly where yet :) But one way or abother they have to move as my University's server shuts down at the end of the year. So stay tuned!!

By the way, I'm still taking suggestions for catergories (eg, Best JK Order, Best DF Level, etc) in the Dark Forces & Jedi Knight Awards that will be held at the end of this year. So if you have any ideas for awards then simply enter them into the box below and click 'Submit'.
