It's been going well, made a few break throughs and development is still on-going.

 

I can't say much, but I'll say this (but don't quote me on this), I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for this first chapter of the mod.

Any new screenshots you guys can show? Maybe of the Jedi Temple if it's also getting a new look like Corellia

I think the Jedi Temple textures aren't being changed as I believe it's meant to resemble the original Jedi Temple mod for K2.

 

But the Jedi Temple has been reworked from the Demo. To name a few changes, the medical room you wake up in now actually resembles a medical room, the weird ray shield has been replaced with a giant door, and the weird speeder was removed with its Jedi mechanic being moved to another location who is now sorting through a filing cabinet instead.

 

I'll see with Logan if he's fine with this being shown to the public, though I must put a firm emphasis on my earlier comment:

Kinda can't believe this is still around. I forgot how long ago I heard of Revenge of Revan, almost a decade? I'm impressed that it's still in production after all this time. As an old old KotOR fan who thinks the newer games aren't nearly as fun, I'm really looking forward to it. Cheers!

I would like to give an update to the development of the Revenge of Revan mod.

 

The good news: I, as a developer of the mod, have done my part for the Episode One release - that includes writing dialogue, placement of NPCs/placeables, loot within placeables/NPCs/merchants, and setting static cameras to name a few. All that needs to be done now is a proper bug test to iron out any undetected bugs and to ensure that it can be played from start to finish without game breaking interruptions.

 

The bad news: I am not the team leader of the mod, that would obviously be @Logan23 who is missing in action. Now, during my time in developing the mod Logan has disappeared like this before and when he came back he revealed he had to take a hiatus to deal with real life obligations. Now, when Logan disappeared the first time it didn't really affect the mod because I would simply focus on one module then move on to the next to continue development, but this time around I don't have anything left to continue developing because I've finished everything I could develop alone.

 

If Logan came back tomorrow, a beta could be achieved by January. But alas, real life obligations takes priority over our modding hobbies.

 

But do keep in mind: Logan doesn't say when he is leaving or when he is coming back, I only found out what happened by asking him once he came back the first time. So unless Logan returns I don't know for sure whether Logan is on a temporary hiatus or if he's passed away due to a tragic car accident or something.

 

Now whilst that last bit is highly unlikely, if that is the case then Logan would obviously never be returning and so too would we never hear anything about the status of the mod.

 

So, this is what I'm thinking of doing in the mean time: Dev Diaries.

 

The format of these diaries would be similar to Scorchy's old Kotor 2 Let's Play, the first diary would showcase the changes done to the Jedi Temple at the start of the mod and show off the changes we've made in comparison to the old Demo. There would be multiple diaries detailing a section of Episode One until we reach the end, there would be quite a wait between diaries so if Logan still isn't back after these diaries I'll consider making dev diaries for Episode Two's content.

 

If Logan still isn't back after all that time, the next set of dev diaries will become post-mortem diaries detailing the content that was planned for the other planets as by that point it can be assumed something has happened to Logan. These post-mortem diaries would detail my own interpretations of how these planets should be written, though assuming Logan does come back and we do get to develop these planets my own interpretations for these planet will not be the final product as Logan can veto my ideas he doesn't like for any given reason or he can embrace ideas from other team members whose ideas are better than mine.

 

I have created new NPC characters for Revenge of Revan, some appear in Episode One and some are planned for future Episodes so if we ever do reach post-mortem's I can still continue the Scorchy style format by using Holocron Toolset to position these characters like sock puppets to create a visual of what it is I'm showcasing.

 

Now, I really do hope we never reach a post-mortem stage and that Logan is living well and will be able to see at least some of his mod released for you to enjoy. I would like to ask you all, what do you think of this dev diary idea of mine?

 

Would you like to see these written out and released so you can at least see all the work that has been put into the mod thus far? Or do you have reasons to oppose such a move?

Can't think of a reason why not though I do hope Logan is ok

@N-DReW25, I am surprised you haven't mentioned anything about this idea in the ROR Discord before approaching the general public about this.
