Some of you may have seen W'rkncacnter's videos from some time ago featuring various examples of spells he scripted to work in Aleph One using Lua. Since then, I started mapping for the project, which has turned into a full-blown scenario featuring a 10 level campaign with a story, numerous player classes, the ability to level up your class and your weapons, nine "spells" to use along with your standard weapons, on-demand energy cans, the ability to talk to the dead, lootable bodies, and more.
Istoria features all-new landscapes, some new and updated textures, and textures from Marathon 2 and Infinity. Standard M2/Infinity monsters are present, but some come with a new twist. Levels can be revisited later if need be. Special thanks to Irons for creating an original soundtrack for the project that utilizes Lua for unique song playback in certain instances.
Needless to say, Istoria will be a very different experience from the standard Marathon scenario. With all of the additional tools at your disposal, some combat situations are tougher than what you might encounter in the original games. Gone are the days of backtracking to a safe recharger -- but you can boost your health whenever you need, provided you have the energy cans to do it.
Istoria is currently under development and will be released sometime soon. Stay tuned.
