Raven's Mike Gummelt Gives a Thumbs Up Mike Gummelt, Gameplay Programmer at Raven Software, recently sent an email congratulating me on the Colosseum mod. He later went on to discuss Colosseum in his latest .plan file, which is reproduced here and can also be found at Webdog. Thanks, Mike! Name: Mike Gummelt Email: mgummelt@ravensoft.com Description: Programmer Project: Jedi Academy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, it's been a long time since I've updated my .plan file, but I have a good reason. I just downloaded and played the "Colosseum" mod (by Jake Keating) for Jedi Knight II and, I have to say, it kicks ASS! This is the best, most polished mod I've ever seen for one of our games! I am thoroughly impressed! The mod shows not only an impressive understanding of multiple and diverse systems in the game (the UI, the sabers, scripting, in-game cinematics, pre-rendered cinematics, music, mapping, modelling, texturing, effects, sounds, etc., etc.) but also a real "director's eye" for creating a compelling story within the context of exciting and fun gameplay... not to mention presenting the entire package in a slick, professional style! And I love the educational aspect of it, too! If you have JK2, I highly recommend downloading this mod and checking it out. You can find it on the Jedi Knight II community sites, or just download it with this link from jk2files.com: http://www.jk2files.com/file.info?ID=16736 Also, Jake Keating's website is: http://www.jakekeating.com I hope Jake continues to mod (or get a job in "the biz") because he really seems to have an obvious talent for making games! << back to main |
