Well, my name's Matthew Pate, I work at a great site called the Admiral's Command Chamber, and I'm 15 years old, since last week. Strangely enough, I 'liked' Star Wars for a pretty long time. I had TIE fighter, which I really enjoyed, and then a friend bought me 'Heir to the Empire' for Christmas a couple of years ago, and it basically spiraled from there.

Yeah, I edited Descent 2 for a couple years, but I found it pretty limiting. The cube system it uses is pretty annoying, and it's nearly impossible to make outdoor areas. I liked the idea of customizing games, Quake in particular, and once I started getting interested in Star Wars, I saw Jedi Knight, and a good review in a magazine I read, and I thought I'd check it out. I actually found Massassi and JK.net before I bought the game, though.

I felt that Imperial bases had been done to death, and I really like making outdoor areas, and I didn't really have a plot until I'd already built the pirate base, and then I just thought up something a little different. Well, I already had 1 level done, another nearly done by the time I actually released the first one, and with a dueling level and an interactive intro level, I only had to make about 1 1/2 more levels. It didn't seem like much to do...

It'll have plots. It explains the reason the Imperials were using the Asteroids to blockade the base in MotS, as well as other goodies. Lamnin (the main character) also discovers a plot that could mean destruction of the galaxy (sort of). It will have some plot twisty bits, especially in the third and beginning of the fourth level.

I sure hope so! Well, A lot of it is outdoors, as I find it easier and much more appealing. You can cleave anywhere and have a nice excuse. It's as easy to make it non-boxy, as it is simple to add extra detail like trees, rocks, canyons etc.

Yep. A new Dark Jedi turned Warlord, and some other minor ones. Drassk and Lamnin have also gotten a facelift.

Currently 65 custom COGs, 147 mats, 37 3dos, 5 ais, and 2 pups at last count. I hope it grows. A lot of the things I wanted weren't possible so I had to learn COG pretty quickly, meaning it's a little less efficient than you could hope.

Not overly, I use MotS mainly for the extra weapons and 3dos, but I have colored lighting around consoles, skies and engines etc.

I'm trying to have a 'small-town' feel about the level. Lamnin is trying to get resources at one point, but it all goes to help wimpy Kyle and Mara on Altyr 5. I haven't given too many force powers, only the simple ones, as Lamnin isn't an 'Uber-Jedi'. I want the player to feel they have to work around problems, instead of destroying everything, and so there are quite a few puzzles, but not really hard ones like in Warzone II.

Well, it's still really level 1. The 'new' level 1 is basically an interactive intro. There are about 3 enemies total, and the aim of the level is only to receive your mission and get to your customized A-Wing.

I hope there won't be any need, but I don't think I'll be that lucky. If there is an overwhelming problem, I might fix it.

A pack. Otherwise most of it could be released now. I want to do it as a pack, because if I want to change something about the series, I can quickly change it. If half the levels were already released, I couldn't do that.

Err, 5. I've already spoken about the first level, you've played the second, the third is escaping the prison Lamnin inevitably found herself in at the end of the 'first' level. The fourth is a secret, and the fifth is currently going to be a Jedi duel. You never know though...

Well after my Christmas break, I've found it hard to get back in the mood. I'm doing little things that needed doing currently. For example, I used print(""); everywhere instead of Cog Strings, and it took the better part of a day to correct that. I also made a new enemy, so I didn't have to use someone else's.

Not really, who should I criticize? I just hope that the JK community can live long and prosper... Oops.

Neither can I. Pleasure's all mine.
