Steele Dawn

Post by Delacroix »

Image

Developer: Various Unreal Community Talents (mainly Yrex, but see credits), based on original work by Level Infinity

Status: Released

Synopsis: 47 years before the events of Unreal, a civilian Terran colonist Brandon Steele finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, when the city of Vegra, part of the Seriate IV colony on the moon Io falls the victim of a brutal assault by the terrorists of the Vesspine Confederation. Having realized he's in the middle of a warzone, he has to fight for his life as he is pursued not only by the terrorist forces but also the terrifying Skaarj Empire.

Features:
- 8 all-original missions
- 4 new weapons and 3 significantly modified classics
- New deadly enemies: human terrorists from the Vesspine Confederation, terrifying new Skaarj leader units and more

Latest News: V2.0 released on March 15, 2023!

Level Infinity official site (original cancelled project) (on Archive.org)

Important Notice: This is a community restoration project of a cancelled expansion pack for Unreal. Leo(T.C.K.) has recovered all eight levels that were planned, some in larval form, others partially complete, some even nearly complete. After he provided the initial fixes and conversions, Yrex and myself have taken it upon ourselves to get some work done in order to fully complete the add-on. Currently the project is complete.

This is Brandon, the protagonist of the project. And the two baldies behind him are the Vesspine Confederation terrorists.

continued now with the discussion about the community version and some obvious misunderstanding

Goodbye for now. .

Thanks to Yrex' dedication, we're just two SP maps away from the first alpha milestone. Some more recent shots can be seen below.

Level 3: River Ruins

Level 4: Lava Plant

Image

Level 5: Mountain Stronghold

Image
Image
Image

Level 6: Starport / Comm Center

Overall, levels 3-8 are Alpha-1-Milestone ready. This huge progress wouldn't be possible without Yrex, Leo(T.C.K.), PaperCoffee and Rikia. Let us take a moment to appreciate their work!


--- update, January 07, 2022

Just to throw it out there, there's been tremendous progress thanks to Yrex, which brought us even closer to the Alpha 1 milestone. All SP maps are basically either done or almost done, all DM maps are practically done as well, as far as the Alpha 1 milestone is concerned. For now, no screenshots, but expect some in a few days. Due to the compact size of this project, we wouldn't want to spoil too much anyway.

You mean Brandon like in Alexander Brandon? :OOO
"Everyone is an idea man. Everybody thinks they have a revolutionary new game concept that no one else has ever thought of. Having cool ideas will rarely get you anywhere in the games industry. You have to be able to implement your ideas or provide some useful skill. Never join a project whose idea man or leader has no obvious development skills. Never join a project that only has a web designer. You have your own ideas. Focus on them carefully and in small chunks and you will be able to develop cool projects."

A proper test version will be ready fairly soon. I am waiting for the last remaining piece of content and then, all things will be put in place.

While we are still not entirely ready for the private co-op beta test yet (I promise you, it won't be long), here's four shots showcasing SD.
