Dark Peak is a short Half Life 2 total conversion mod which I created as a solo coursework project peice in the final year of my BSc course in Computer Games Technology. I was given the task of creating a PC game (of any type or genre) and to write an 80-page report on its conception, design and implementation. I completed it in around 6 months and it earned 78 out of 100 possible marks. Due to the time limitations, the mod currently only contains 3 levels, and some elements of the game have not yet been changed from the Half Life 2 defaults (for example, the HUD). Dark Peak itself is an FPS Survival Horror game, with the majority of its environments based on the real-life rural town of Glossop in Derbyshire. The player begins in a public house, after being knocked unconscious by a mysterious 'quake' late at night. The player is then sent out to find help, and ultimately uncover the cause of the quake and the destruction encountered on the streets.

Description

The first public release of Dark Peak. This is my first attempt at releasing a mod so bear with me. I'll create an installer program eventually to make things a bit easier. Of course, to play you need to be running Steam, and have a legitimate copy of Half Life 2 installed, along with the Episode 2 content. To install, extract the DarkPeak folder from the zip file into your Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\ directory. Then restart Steam if it's running, and the game will be listed in the 'My Games' section.

It was quite fun! But I agree with Combine68, you should definitely make more maps. I finished it in about ten minutes...

P.S. I also really like how you gave the desert eagle more stopping power than the default HL2 pistol, and used the zombies without head-crabs.
