Eternal War: Shadows of Light - Free

[Megazoid]

Since I'm hardly up on Quake news anymore, this is probably old hat to most of you, but Eternal War: Shadows of Light, the previously commercial mod, is now free.

I actually bought this game way back in 2003 (I think). It's not bad at all really. It's nice that Xrucifix have bothered to release it, and not just fade away like the developers of some of the other commercial mods (Malice & Shrak).

It seems to be a total conversion based on the Telejano engine. It seems to use md3 models.

So yeah, more or less a Quake mod.

A Christian Quake mod... the good guy is called Mike (Michael), the fallen angel he has to save is called John ... aww. Sponsored by some Christian gamer site.

Hear the message, folks.

Quake Terminus says "a lot of the content was borrowed". I'll try it anyway, could be interesting.

Edit: Engine and models are nice, level design reminds me of Doom and Heretic, but eventually I had to quit because everything started to look the same. If you want to smite evil and pray for health while rescuing your friend from porn and nihilism, this is the game for you.

It is also quite hard.

It's pretty nice. Medieval setting, md2 models, a bit unoptimized as on slower computers, the sounds stuttered, and lots of particles would reduce it to 2 or 3 frames per second, even with lowest settings.

A great mod to start optimizing and rebuilding and releasing as GPL.

Heh, well if they "borrowed" the Telejano engine and didn't abide by the GPL they deserve THE WRATH OF GOD I TELL YOU, THE WRATH OF GOD!



On the other hand some of their models are really quite nifty.

I had to switch on god mode because it was so hellishly hard.

About the Christian theme, I have nothing against Christians but when I'm supposed to pray all the time in a game to get health it's just a bit over the top. And those text screens are persistent.

Seems like the resurrection of this mod is due to some Christian gamer site.

Now I'll have to try Dawn of Darkness. Yes please. The models were indeed the best part of this.

The engine was very cool, good work Tei, Tomaz or whoever did it.

The changelopg that pops up during the installation says something about md3 models, that's where I got that from.
