Coil is a short singleplayer Half-Life Mod.

Story:
Following the completion of the newly constructed Sector C Test labs, some older industrial branches of Black Mesa became obsolete, and were being prepared for deprecation by the general maintenance & security division.

Some machinery and factory units have already been dismantled, but mysteriously, some time before an important experiment was due to take place in the Anomalous materials lab, an order was sent to begin reassembling certain parts of machinery, particularly the power routers connected to the old prototype teleportation labs.

The motives behind this decision were never disclosed by the administration.
When the resonance cascade occurred, the crew attributed the system failures and power outages to a fault in the reassembled power router; but when things start to crawl out of walls and eat your colleagues, you know something has gone terribly wrong...

--------------------------------------------------------

As a member of the GMS (General Maintenance & Security crew) you have access to all maintenance divisions and limited access to high security areas. Your team is an integral part of the Black Mesa population. On priority assignments, your team is provided with the best equipment and expert advice available - this includes the use of Hazardous Environment Equipment used in Black Mesa Laboratories.

6 comments by kol on Dec 18th, 2005 digg this super bookmark


That's right - I'm splitting up Coil... Into 3 connected chapters. The first of which will be released in early January.

Yep - that's right - A Coil Release! Even I'm surprised.

The first chapter will take you from the start, to about a third of the way through the game. There will be 7 or 8 maps (depending on how fast I can finish & beta test them)

I've also added a special feature to the maps, which i think a lot of people will enjoy. Especially those who liked games like System Shock 2... I'm not saying any more - you'll have to wait and play the game to find out.
Here are a few screenshots from the first chapter that look nice in between text ;)

I hope this episodic release thing works out - The first download may seem a little bloated, for just 7 or 8 maps, but the next chapters will be smaller.

There will be some new media once I finish up a few things, then my faithful beta testers will be taking it apart for a week. Then (hopefully) a release!

This beta version is the first of a Restructured Coil.

I know i said there would be episodic releases, but after some consideration - i decided against it. Coil will still be episodic, but in a different way - it'll be released as a single mod though.
