Just a few notes about this before I go into campaign description mode...

1) This uses show-subtitle with great prejudice and was all done for a screen res of 1024x768. If you're using something other than 1024, it may appear skewed a bit.
2) No peeking in the VP (Spoilerz within)
3) Don't kill me
4) If you haven't played JAD1 or JAD2, I highly recommend doing so beforehand.
5) I never lie
6) Have fun!
7) No Voice Acting (sorta)
8) Some assembly required

Campaign Description

With the death of FRED and FRED2 by the hands of Alpha 1, there no stands nothing to strike at the GTVA! Except for... Shivans! On a Plane!

The Shivans have returned and are bent on taking over ancient Earth aero-transports. We've got motherfrackin' Shivans! And there's not a got-damn thing you can do about it!

Just another day again, eh?

YOU

ARE

Alpha 1.

AGAIN

Why wouldn't it be? Get ready for the following things in random order!

    * plotholes on a plane!
    * copyright infringements on a plane!
    * references to Disco Music on a plane!
    * the power of ETAM, the next-next-generation of ETAK on a plane! (ok, maybe not)
    * God on a plane! (MORE God on a plane may still not be God on a plane, your God on a plane may vary.)
    * unexpected twist endings on a plane!
    * MORE on a plane!

Screenshots

JAD3 Boxset (9MB) (Mirror)
Cutscene Pack (43MB) (Optional but highly recommended) (Mirror)

Install to a mod folder within your root FS2 folder. Have your Media VPs in a folder called mediavps for maximum awesome (and slowness during big scenes). Select the mod folder with the launcher and enjoy!

Don't worry guys, updated releases will come every six months!


Provided I don't start on another campaign or revive a long dead one that I think really has a chance.
