Would you like to be a beta tester of future episodes? It means you'll be able to play them before anybody else, and help me improve them before official release. If you're interested, please PM me or post in this thread.

I have started working on the props for part 2. It's just a matter of time before I'll start creating the adventure itself.

This is my new adventure series. It's probably my most ambitious project yet, and so I seek to get it more attention from various players. I wish to dedicate this thread to the series, hopefully attracting more people to play it.

Sporecast available here.

Plot:
Around 16'000 years ago, there was a large, maginificent superpower: The Dera empire, a knightly race with incredible natural fighting skills. Sworn enemies of the Grox and the Grox Alliance - a coalition of groxist empires - they made themselves legendary for their valor and heroism in their fight against the expanding dark reign threatening the order of the galaxy.

But overwhelmed by the superior numbers of the enemy, the Dera empire was destroyed. Ereased from history by the Grox Alliance. A long campaign was undertaken by the Alliance to eradicate every single Dera in the galaxy. It seemed like they succeeded. There was no official sign of living Dera during the coming 16'000 years.

Not before now, when the Kernavoris empire, through long research and exploration, seem to have found a sign. They see it as their duty to uplift the undeveloped Dera living on the surface of the planet the Kernavoris has named "Ikriom Te" - "The First Sighting". They must proceed carefully, in order not to frighten the far from space-faring Dera. They need you, a skilled captain, to beam down and make first contact.

What neither you or the Kernavoris know however, is that there are others hwo have made the same discoveries. Others, who are not very happy with the idea of the Dera not being fully extincted 16'000 years ago.

More remains of the past than anyone could ever have imagined.

The Prologue

"You have been contacted by the Kernavoris empire, who believe you can aid them in something they say is very important.
But for some reason, they require that you first learn the history of a long fallen empire..."

In the prologue you learn the history of the Dera Empire, and see it's downfall around 16000 years ago. It also gives you a hint to what your mission will be in part 1 of the series.

I've also made a trailer for the prologue. Considering it was pretty much my first time using Windows Movie Maker, I think it came out pretty good.





Part 1

"The Kernavoris empire have discovered what remains of the Dera species, on the planet Ikriom Te. They need you to make first contact with the now undeveloped Dera, who knows nothing of their past."
