Rising Phoenix started way back in early 2001 if my memory serves me correctly, what started out life as a single player mod based around the myths of the Ancient Crusades and the search for the Ark Of The Covanant, slowly evolved into a multiplayer mod. we then switched our efforts to making it a single player experience. Then we took a long break.

Lets fast forward a few months, lets say 8. Or maybe even twelve. Rising Phoenix was always something that i one day wanted to continue. It was a great shame that we abandoned the project, but due to off-line commitments i was forced to put Rising Phoenix on indefinate hold. Now after the urge to re-start modding has flown back into my blood, the first thing this time was to get a decent story finnished, and then lock it up from my destructive fingers and not change it.

Rising Phoenix is an all new, singing dancing Half-Life 2 equiped multiplayer modification. based around original ideas and game concepts we hope to achieve somethign special. something different, and above all, something fun. Many of you who read the Story section and in particular the Back Story will think, how will this work as a multiplayer mod? well, it wont .that is back story and is there to give an insight into the world Rising Phoenix: Project Echo is set in. once we get well underway with the production of this mod, and even get a release, maybe, who knows, a single player version from Echo's viewpoint will be made, but we shall see what happens.
