The more I learn about Ocean Drive Studio and its debut game, Lost Eidolons, the more IвЂ™m interested in this project. South Korea goes old-schoolДЄbove: Lost Eidolons is a strategy-RPG from Ocean Drive in South Korea, and itвЂ™s on Kickstarter now. The question now is if this will be a jump to lightspeed for fans of an old, lost game вЂ¦ or if theyвЂ™ll need to get out and push to help make it happen. вЂњWe just want to play this era of SWG again, and since there was nobody else making it happen, we had to take matters into our own hands,вЂќ Karrde said. Karrde says theyвЂ™ve had about 700 beta signups for Restoration 3. But it also matters to modders and their fans. Heck, Taito and Bandai Namco are still making new things with old franchises like Space Invaders and Pac-Man. Just look at all the remasters, remakes, and collections we see. вЂњCertain stylistic items/cosmetics from the Clone Wars, Rogue One, the new trilogy, or Rebels have actually already been implemented and may be implemented in the future, but in terms of in universe lore, we arenвЂ™t including anything from those mediums in terms of story, quests, planets, or mechanics.вЂќ Too much of the new canon directly contradicts things that already existed in SWG, so it would be a nightmare to try and retcon everything to match it,вЂќ Karrde said. вЂњItвЂ™s all based off the old EU, and we plan to keep it that way. But the team hasnвЂ™t ignored material from the likes of The Clone Wars or Rogue One. One draw of this Star Wars Galaxies recreation is that itвЂ™s based on the old Expanded Universe (all Star Wars media from before DisneyвЂ™s acquisition of Lucasfilm). We arenвЂ™t profiting off this project, so itвЂ™s not something weвЂ™re really worried about,вЂќ they said. вЂњSWG private server projects have existed in one form or another since before SWG went offline, and none have ever been come after. TheyвЂ™re also not too worried about DisneyвЂ™s ruthless legal team because of this. Restoration Gaming (a team of about six) began working on this project a little over a year ago, Karrde said, and while itвЂ™s accepting donations, the group is funding this out of their pocket (including sever bills).

вЂњWeвЂ™re just the first team to attempt to roll it back to an earlier version of the game,вЂќ Karrde said over email when I asked about what the team was doing with the source code. Wanting to learn more, I reached out to вЂњTalon Karrde,вЂќ a representative of Restoration 3, to learn a little more about the project.
