Differences In Storyline
Due to the fact that this is a remake, numerous changes have been made to the story for improvement. Here I will detail the changes to perk everyone's interest (may be some spoilers):
-Names of protagonist and antagonist have been changed. Their personalities and character have been altered. Caleb is replaced with Logan and Tchernobody is replaced with Garibaldi. Character development of all characters is improved.
-Time of story is changed to 1918 instead of 1872.
-Antagonist isn't plotting to curse Earth, but seeks to exterminate mankind.
-There is no festival being held in the protagonist's home city that is postponed due to the invasion.
-The characters of Cecil (though he is still mentioned), Penelope, Erdrick, Eliza, Iconoclast I and VIII have been removed.
-The flashback scenes involving Cecil and Iconoclast IX have been removed.
-The protagonist is not captured aboard the ship.
-Edward plays a lute, not a harp.
-Iconoclast IX's wife did not die. The couple did have a child who unfortunately died.
-The swords of Ice and Storms have been renamed Water and Sky.
-Edward wielded the sword of Earth instead of the sword of Fire. The Iconoclast royal family was never in possession of one of the swords.
-The sword of Water was in possession of Cecil.
-The sword of Fire was owned by Garibaldi's father, an archmage.
-Murlock isn't aware of protagonist when he first enters the realm.
-The protagonist meets the spirit of king Iconoclast IX (and the queen) at the Iconoclast castle.
-The Cabal are replaced with the Scourge.
-The protagonist becomes involved in the flashback scene involving the antagonist's curse and the events leading up to it.
-Lazarus is no longer a soothsayer, but now a powerful wizard. The castle where a large portion of the game is set is no longer a memorial to him, but his home. He was the creator of the elemental swords (except the Sword of Darkness). The castle is not destroyed at the end. The protagonist never meets Lazarus.
-Protagonist is to be executed instead of being imprisoned in the dungeon.
-Edward and Minerva are cursed by the swords of Earth and Water and later freed by their power.
-Edward, Murlock, and Minerva are never aware of the protagonist's former ties to the antagonist.
-Edward and the protagonist free Minerva before the protagonist's battle with the antagonist.
-Antagonist is mortally wounded not by the protagonist but by his unseen master.
-The sword of Iconoclast, not Edward's harp is what undoes Garibaldi's curse over the land.
-Leoric (first introduced in part 2) is captain of the guard.
-Agnes is not a newborn baby, but instead is already a young woman when the protagonist meets her.
-The medallion is given to the protagonist by Murlock.

Release Date Approaching!
I've nearly finished implementing the difficulty setting and lighting of the levels. All that's left is to playtest it myself, get some playtesters from the Blood community, and then it will be ready for the public!
If all goes well, expect LOI: Scourge of Humanity to be released sometime around Easter!

What Will You Get In LOI1 Remake?
In response to questions about what will be in the mod and what players can expect, here's a list of what you'll get in Legends of Iconoclast Part 1 : The Scourge of Humanity:
-28 levels, 14 of which are brand new and never seen before! Explore new areas such as the Sewage System, Deadwood Forest, Catacombs, Ramparts of Fortitude, Forbidden Thicket, and the spinechilling Phantom Wood!
-Improved level design. Some levels will have more sprites, new sectors, more special effects, and more sounds.
-All levels now have improved lighting. They will also have depth cueing.
-Features of the Plasma Pak are available: new enemies, new weapon modes, new art, and new sounds.
-Dozens of new sounds!
-Twenty eight new music tracks!
-Improved storyline. Due to criticism of Caleb's portrayal from anti-hero to hero, there will be a new protagonist and new antagonist.
-Due to complaints of long text cutscene times, readable text files will come with the game. Messages will pop up at the end of certain levels telling you which file to read so you can follow the storyline.
-An estimated five hours gameplay time!
Sounds exciting? It is, believe me! I've already played through it all myself today!

Upcoming Release For Part 1
Even though I have completed all twenty-eight levels, Scourge of Humanity is not quite ready for release (almost though). I still have to playtest the whole thing and finish writing the text files containing the storyline. At earliest, expect the mod to be release before the New Year! If not, sometime early in the New Year!
Once I am done playtesting the mod and writing the text files, I will get some other bloodlites to do some more playtesting. If the release of the recently released Death Wish taught us anything, it's to make sure you got enough playtesters.

Heart of Stone (Final Level)
E5M5 - Heart of Stone
As Edward and Minerva hurry off to forge the Sword of Iconoclast, Logan closes in on Garibaldi who awaits him somewhere within this final stronghold. But Garibaldi is well prepared for any assassin and the path to the throne room of the castle is blocked by his most powerful minions, including his two personal bodyguards. Logan must destroy all resistance in order to advance to the final confrontation in a battle that will decide not just the fate of the land, but the fate of all humanity!
Obviously, the final new level in part 1.

Garibaldi's Tower
E5M4 - Garibaldi's Tower
With all four elemental swords in his possession, Logan only needs the Sword of Darkness in order to forge the Sword of Iconoclast. The only place left to search is the tower at the very heart of the castle. It is also inside this tower where Garibaldi imprisoned Edward's true love princess Minerva, his own unrequited love. Logan must fight his way up the tower, clear a path for Edward to reunite with his lost love, and recover the Sword of Darkness.
Replaces "The Horned King's Tower".
