I've been working on this project for a while now (albeit at a slightly slower rate than its predecessor), but I did want to wait until I hit a nice even breaking point and got most of my assets in before I posted anything about it.

This is the "sequel" to "Dark Times;" while "Dark Times" was set in the period around the formation of the Rebellion, "Rising Son" is set in the period in between Episodes IV and V. Because it's now firmly entrenched in the OT, a lot of the notable figures will change (although of course some will stick around, like Darth Vader and the Emperor). Here's what I have tentatively planned:

-New heroes (nine so far) with hero support
-New modes (a conquest-analogue, maybe a campaign/Galactic Conquest, and probably some new wave modes)
-New vehicles (there are at least a couple different land vehicles I want to find spaces for)
-New maps (I had a couple map ideas that I don't want to make a huge production of, and they'll go nicely here - I also want to throw in a couple older maps of my own)

I know it's not a whole lot - yet - but more will come. For now, here is a short teaser:

The same video in high definition.

Dark Times II? Awesome. Can't wait to see some more pics of the units/vehicles/maps!

So that's what that ceremonial Luke (the Rising Son?) model was for. It's sounding great so far. I had a feeling you were planning to do some sort of expansion and here it is, a sequel.

Hmm, a LOT of SWG material debuts in this area. (Battle of Restuss anyone?)

Lol anyway, nice work once again dude! I am so gonna follow this.

Ah, so this will be a new era as well as The Dark Times? Should fit with the CP still though.

I like the idea of this! Are you not gonna spoil the new heroes?

Oh dear, your reviewing puns have evolved into mod puns.

But seriously, looks good (as always). Just a question from the trailer.....will the infantry be the same (practical wise not aesthetic wise) as the original DT infantry?

Dark times II?


Dear Lord...

This looks very well done Mav!

Wow, this looks like it's gonna be pretty amazing, as was the first. Can't wait to see/hear more! and I don't use that smiley any old time.

Diet Dr. Pepper !
i cant watch the video because of some kind of copyright thing...it says the video is not available in my country

but it sounds very promising...

It's going to be part of the "Dark Times" era. On loading a map, it'll be random whether you play with the pre-Episode IV units or post-Episode IV units.

Probably. I know that I'm planning to make the basic three units for each side stay the same (with visual changes only). Whether I decide to change the three unlockables (not including hero support, which is obviously changing) is still up in the air.

looks cool, will it need the first DT to run or will you need both

Dark Times 2... lol Never thought about it. Certainly almost as kick*** as BF 3.

if this is so good like the first one:

So wait, will this add to the mission count at all?

I think it looks great so far

Keeping on the great mods ? godd work that you are doing

Boy, you never quit pumping out the new mods, do you?

Sounds/looks cool, the OT era really doesn't get enough attention.

Looks nice! Mav does it again!

Cool! What maps do you have in mind?
