A Mod in a Day: Imperials! for Jedi Academy
Home

A Mod in a mere 24 hours?

June 21st - 22nd 2006. One man, one day, one mod - surely it's impossible.

Well that's what 'speed-modding' is all about, and this is a fine example of a polished, well crafted mod constructed in the small hours of a coffee-fuelled programming binge.

Imperials! Brings you a singleplayer and multiplayer mod that not only affects every mission in a significant way, but also includes graphical tweaks and Ai enhancements. But then, you don't need to read this to find out - try it for yourself.
