Eh'ko - A Long Awaited Age
Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2021 3:36 pm
Shorah one and all,
Below I link to a ZIP archive containing the files needed to visit Eh'ko, my first fan Age written for the game URU: Complete Chronicles by Cyan. The work was originally started in 2008 and back then I had aspirations and notes for a fully interactive Age, with a rich and compelling backstory. At the time I was also trying to pioneer some new, or at least little used techniques for Age writing using Lightwave 3D and Blender, with a view to sharing these with other Writers. Sadly, for several reasons, it was not meant to be.
Thirteen years have passed and during that time I have never forgotten what being part of the MYST/URU/MOUL community felt like and it was always something very special. I know that many members of the MOUL playerbase and especially members of the Guild of Writers were looking forward to visiting Eh'ko, small and rudimentary as it was. That opportunity was never provided and it is something I have often regretted. So... all these years later, I have dug out my original source files, reinstalled URU:CC and have managed to convert that original version over to a releasable Age, at the stage it was in 2008. This was achieved with a newer version of Blender than I was using before and with the excellent 'Korman' plugin toolset. I now feel that I have at least achieved what I fully intended to do originally, which was to release an Age that was visitable by other MYST fans.
