I'm going to have a lot of time on my hands soon as the summer holidays come up and i do away with the complexities of AS level exams, and so I decided to make a very small little mod with only a few variations on you're average HL2 gameplay and models.
I'm soon to be designing the first level so I'll stick up some images when I'm done.
Game Plan:
- A simple building clearance objective in which you move down a level at a time as the game progresses, each level increasing in difficulty, until you eventually reach the bottom in which the game will be complete.
- No (or not many) custom props or textures from the HL2 cache. In this way the player will only have had to have downloaded HL2 to be able to play and the download will be incredibly quick and easy.
- Built around gameplay, looks take a backseat to playability, levels designed originally around DEV and then effectively skinned after extensive play-testing.
Be warned that this mod isn't likely to grow very fast and will not be very big once finished (if ever it is), it's not even named yet. But it'll give me a chance to do something and the results will likely be more of a gameplay orientated game, and so more fun :).
There isn't likely to be much of a story-line, so those who prefer to really get into the background of a game may feel it's lacking somewhat. however, for those who like to shoot shit and want a challenge in their enemy, you'll probably enjoy it.
So yea... enjoy watching me develop a happy little shoot-em-up game XD.
