It's been quiet on the news side from us lately, and I again apologize for the long periods between updates but I'm posting this today with great confidence in having more routine updates on our progress. In the past we've held off on news releases until we've had more "final stage" quality like media releases, however given the fact that most of us have work or school to deal with in addition to working on the mod, we sometimes go for long periods without being able to touch the various projects we're working on and thus finalize them for a photo session. You may have noticed for a while now an empty section of our forums called Showcase (found here: http://www.invision-games.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=29). I am pleased to announce we have finally begun using it.
Team members will be able to post up and update the various projects they are working on for you to comment/give feed back on. It is my hope that a weekly or monthly news update similar to this will be posted with the latest updates and pictures. Please note that while regular members can't create topics in this particular forum section, they can reply to ones made by the team. Also note that these projects are considered to be a work in progress, and as such not complete yet. Level shots may contain badly lit or unfinished assets, models might be unfinished/missing textures, etc.
So, for our first update, we have the Naboo Theed Palace, being mapped by Aigik with assistance in texture design from Quakis:

Next up are two player models being worked on by our main player modeler and animator; DT. These models will be included in the second release with the objective based Team Assault mode.
First is the Super Battle Droid:

Second is a 21-B medical droid:

So that wraps up our first WIP media release. I hope to be able to show off some pictures of what I've been working on the past few months soon, which includes Hoth and Endor for release 2 :p
Thanks for your continued support and patience!

Sounds great. Updates are always a pleasure, even if they're not finished. Naboo map looks phenomenal! Those models are coming along nicely too. keep up the good work
This is the best Star Wars mod I have yet seen and I have seen a lot. Keep it up. "I find your progress encouraging."
Well it has been almost a month since the last update and I am still geeking out about this mod!
I just want to tell the team to keep it up.
Awesome, this mod is looking so awesome, I check the website every day for updates, I'm sure it will be GREAT!
"...more routine updates on our progress..." Every 2 months? or three months? It does't have too be big. Just a "we are this far" sort of thing. Any news is better is better than no news.
