SecretCity Saga
| Maps by | Turrican |
| Pack released by | Garompa |
| Date of release | September 13, 2021 |
Description
This is a mappack containing ALL of Turrican's Secret City series maps FIXED and WORKING with proper endings ready for hosting on any server, ALSO including Die, Fracture, the new SecretCityX and a community-made map of the ending to the series, which was just an idea by the author, now called RedDeath. Meaning the entire saga is complete!
All of them have been ripented fully to accomodate easier secret finding for the common server dweller, a story, references, changelevels between maps, actual endings to the maps and to the entire series as well.
The version inside this mappack is the final version of the ripents/remasters of the maps, that contain a HUGE amount of fixes and modifications, that have been approved and tested by the author Turrican himself and Vorinc, so you could think of this as the best version of Secret City that exists, which also gets as close to the official intentions and ideas as it can.
- If you haven't played the original versions, you can try them first at secretcity-series
LORE:
You find yourselves in a strange dimension full of traps and secrets. You must find clues as to where you are and how to get out.
Turrican has explained that they used a ship to reach places never reached before by mankind for what it seems was an interdimensional manhunt. But upon returning they brought back something, the entire city warped back in pieces to somewhere unknown, where laws of physics, space and time don't work the same way. And worse is that now they are being hunted by that something.
Your mission is to find Turrican and help him fix this disaster before it is too late.Dr. Walter once found a way through Xen and into a dimension where there was nothing. Or so he thought. Walter came back but during his time in the nothing dimension he unknowingly became its God, creating a being in his image after he saw his own reflection on his wristwatch while waiting for teleport back to Earth. This clone only knew to do the same. And so another clone was created. And this one made another… and it repeated until the nothing dimension was later known as… the Walter dimension!
Turrican made use of the Walters as unreliable, expendable, unlimited workers on his extradimensional routines. Now after the redmetal catastrophe, the city was overrun and wiped out by his Walters coming from the sealed Walterhouse workshop next to his lab, and the mysterious shadow people.
Try to guess where you are now… Trapped inside this warped Walterhouse you will have to use your respawning powers to push forward while something keeps telling you to… JUST DIE. Because you just won't.As the redmetal grows around the city, pieces of it are falling to the abyss below!
Saved by just a step, most of the city falls to the nether taking the Walterhouse with it.
Turrican and his team are supposed to be nearby. You must help them fix the ship to get out of this dimension.
But after finding Turrican and the ship, things look a bit… off.
RELEASE NOTES:
Did you know that the secret city series evolved to include a story and map endings? (or at least a simple idea from the author) which was showed vaguely only on some maps? Before the author just disappeared. Well, now he is back and with his help the community fixed the maps for a new experience.
These new version of the maps are ripented, so there is no version mismatch, and includes map endings, map changes(connection between them) objectives and a storyline.
To play the entire remastered secret city saga campaign you will have to start from the very first map: "secretcity".
If you need to load another map to continue playing where you left off then here is the map order:
secretcity > secretcity2 > secretcity3 > secretcity4beta > secretcity5beta > secretcity6b6 > secretcitykeen_beta > secretcitykeen_2_alpha > die > fracb1 > reddeath"die" and "fracb1" are actually also originally part of the secretcity series story. The last map that goes after "fracb1" never existed, only bits and pieces, ideas from the author, but a new community made map now takes its place trying to recreate at least the last part of the adventure to give it closure.1

Footnotes
1. NOTE: "miseryb6" and "resistance" also have something to do with secret city (since redmetal and shadow people appear), but nothing is known about those being connected to it and so were decided to be kept separate from this remastered saga/campaign, but take note that they are still retconned as some past adventures (if you played the ripents of them you will notice).
LOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEE
Bumping this here, so it appears at least as a comment in the main page section. Now adapted for a complete playthrough with an humongous amount of fixes and changes, changelevels, map endings, etc.
You guys can host it in your mapcycle without issues now and play it from start to finish.
I have also uploaded them separately in each of their respective map pages just in case, but it is recommended you download the entire mappack for convenience and time savings :)
