Raven City Mod for Half-Life Project suspended, for a while. news

Raven City

Half-Life mod | TBD

A dark, rather complicated and maybe even offensive mod, wich is being developed by only one person right now. Raven City is the place of a secret and borderline-legal research program that can save humanity from the universal Combine empire. Underneath the cover of strict research, there is an unimaginable flux of evil deeds and desperation, where heroes are crushed and the weak ones are used to justify the strong. The day of final judgement is close to come, when all who are worthy journey aboard the ark, and the sinful are left to damnation. ( Do not be mistaken, I'm completely atheistic and do not believe in spirituality, or fall into the belief of any of the false tools of exhausting the blind( Scientology ). I want to thank the following people for helping me: SysOp, BUzer, Aaron, Demiurge, PlayBus, and many other people who have helped my journey in the art we call game development.

Sometimes you have to take a rest, and it's really time for me to do it.

Hello lads.

I've been making this version of Raven City for one and a half year now. Picture this as that I spent most of this time at the computer, working on the mod while sweating blood. At first it was really entertaining, but after a while I got carried away with the coding part of it. You see, I started getting lost in the small details, like the crappy shotgun code wich I have rewritten, bullets making impact particles on the sky, and many more extremely small details.

Mapwork has been stalled for a month now at the beggining of the third chapter, and I never could get further. I got the feeling as if it was some kind of job, not something done for my own entertainment actually. I started losing the goal, and I also got _really_ tired, nevertheless to mention that I couldn't concentrate on the real world. This is particularly bad for my upcoming exams, wich, being a home-schooled student is a really hard thing. I have to get back in the real world, and I can't let Raven City block me in that.

I will be suspending the project for a while. Don't be afraid, this mod won't die. If it were the case, it would've died long ago, as I would've stopped instead of scrapping the previous(cheap) mapwork, and beggining from scratch.

Thanks for watching everybody, and I hope none of you lose hope in this extraordirnary mod.

Cheers!
