A spin-off of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy allows players to create their own Jedi, train in the Academy under the tutelage of Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn and ultimately choose to follow the path of the Light Side or the Dark Side of the Force. The game is powered by the same version of the Quake III engine used in its predecessor, Jedi Outcast, containing modifications to the Quake code to give a third-person view and new lightsaber effects (Jedi Knight II had these 3rd person effects as well). Players have the ability to construct their own lightsaber by choosing the hilt style and blade color. After completing certain objectives, new saber styles become available.
Changes From Jedi Outcast to Jedi Academy
- Your character, Jaden, can be male or female and is customizable. For example, you can choose from several lightsaber colors and hilt types as well as from several species:
- Twi'lek female
- Kel Dor male
- Human male or female
- Zabrak female
- Rodian male
- New Force Powers in single player; Force Absorb, Force Protect, Force Drain, and Force Rage (these powers were available in Jedi Outcast's multiplayer game, but not in the single player game.)
- New lightsaber combat moves including katas, wall gripping, and acrobatics.
- Four new weapons: DL-44 Blaster Pistol and Stouker Concussion Rifle, Saberstaff (double bladed lightsaber) and dual sabers. A variety of saber hilts are also available.
- New vehicles and vehicle-based levels, including Tauntauns and speeder bikes.
- Power Duel mode: Players join as an individual or as a team of two. The individual has more health and Force power in exchange for being at a disadvantage in numbers.
- Siege Mode: Players work to complete goals and stop the other team from completing their goals.
- AI NPCs (not just bots, as before) in Multiplayer.
- Decreased limitations on world objects in Multiplayer, enhancing modding possibilities (and making coop play theoretically possible).
- Various bugfixes, gameplay tweaks and subtle changes (especially to the Multiplayer component).
- Enhanced rendering of the Quake III: Team Arena engine, including dynamic glow features.
- Removal of the First Person Lightsaber view that can be found in both Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast.

Interesting month, let's get started!
FATHER VS. SON REMAKE
The 1st level of Luke's extended ending is nearing completion with a few things left to add in addition to the usual bug fixes, I'm hopeful that this next month will see to its completion, and thus we can begin the next level!
NEW CHARACTERS
These past several months we've received a number of new characters, though maybe not as much as before. I'll go ahead and list them below.
- Starkiller (Jedi Armor), ported by Darth Valeria
- Starkiller (Dagobah Illusion), ported by Darth Valeria
- Vitiate (Oblivion), ported by Darth Valeria
- Jecki Lon, by SlavicPickle
- Sister, by JollyGreenJack
- 0-0-0, by Linken
NPC FREE CHOICE SYSTEM
Some additional work was done on the menus to account for the NPC Free Choice System upgrades that were completed some time ago. This month was focused on heavy refactoring and general clean-up of NPCs that will no longer be needed.
Now why am I telling you this? Just to forewarn you all.
I understand that many of you have save games you want to keep, and because many npcs are getting removed, I felt it appropriate to post the list here so that way you all can mentally prepare yourselves for this change just in case you all use the console over the menu
Regarding the impact it'll have on the menu, you should not notice any difference. However, the listed NPC codes will no longer work in the console after we release this update. This list is not final and can change at any point.

CONCLUSION
A lot of development work was done on Luke's dark side ending which I sadly can't share any screenshots of yet, but this doesn't mean we don't care, it just means we want you all to experience the story as freshly as possible.
There is a possibility that a progress report for July may not happen as I'm currently in the process of purchasing a house, and moving is.....uhhhh.....well it's moving.
Regardless, we will still continue developing the mod, just maybe a little less on my part than expected, depending on how everything goes.
And as always, thank you all for following the development of Star Wars: Galactic Legacy, and may the Force be with you.

I already downloaded all the patches, even the hotfix, but i still cant seem to be able to open the videogame, what's left for me to download here so i can play it?
Pd: Impressive job, programming such ambitious game alone must be so tough and it looks AWESOME for being programmed by 1 single person. Keep up the great job and may the for be with you.
Is there a possibility of bringing the force ghosts of Anakin, Obi Wan and Yoda (transparent)??
Do I get Jedi Academy through Steam or somewhere else
Happy 20th anniversary everyone.
hai
A friend and I figured out how to get Jedi Knight Academy online on PS4 using some modified files. Not only does this work on modded and unmodded systems, but it allows crossplay with the Nintendo Switch! XLink Kai not required!
Youtube.com
Note: I was the tester, not the developer. Both PSN activated and offline profiles work on PS4.
Is there a mod that adds Jocasta Nu? I've looked in the Movie Duels remastered mod but don't see her there.
I love the mods that's become Imaginary that just Flop on their butthole.
that is kid friendly?
