Droid Schematics

As I might have mentioned prior, the droid was a real pain, when I started working on it. I couldn't decide on its general looks: in most cases it lacked necessary details, like utility or realist approach in terms how Droids are made in Star Wars.

It was difficult for me to make the spherical form, which didn't work the right way at first. It supposed that the visors come through the whole head, with other details attached on the sides. The droid hovers over streets and public and is equipped with minor blaster.


While the droid has a basic look, we've come through many different ideas, which I might post later. We have a great deal of characters, which are far more complex (e.g. Bothan species, Security Droids, Bith, Duros, etc), and we made sketches for all of them. It also took some time to find suitable reference pics, and make all the comments and descriptions.

Needless to say, making the model itself, texturing it and attaching to skeleton (sometimes animate) was also a challenge.

Below is a link to the topic at JKHub, which includes all of the FAQ regarding the mod development. Due to many questions on the status and others, I had to make this document.

I've been asked about DP many times now, and specifically about the date release. We can't reveal these just (due to some specifics), but there is an explanation, why we were silent in the Internet, while we still continue our work on the mod.

It is possible to read an article about this matter at JK Hub forum or the The Dark Pastime page on moddb.com.

The important thing to keep in mind: we never stopped the process, as now we are checking Chapter I, revising the cutscene and continue making maps for other parts of DP.

For now, have a look at the new Sentry Droid to appear in one of the first missions:
