Dead End Mod for Half-Life 2 Dead End - What? Now An Update!? news

Dead End

Half-Life 2 mod | TBD

Last year myself and some friends got together to make a short film. This film was called "Dead End" and was a "Film Noir" styled 3D animation. The basic story of the film was, a detective [Brock] is on the hunt for his lovers killer [it is a SHORT film ~1.30mins, not including creds]. Those involved were myself [Tim Kitevski], Daniel "Fin" Linigen and Richard Johnston. There were a few more people involved in the production but overall that was the main group that worked on the whole film. The time we had to make the whole film was 8 weeks, this included pre-production, production and post-production. What we ended with was a final product we were all quite pleased with, the sound [SFX, Foley] lacks in parts as that was the area where we had the least amount of time to work.

Well well, it has been a while hasn't it? In fact it has been exactly 109 days since last we released any news. This has been for good reason, we have finished several more prop items and have also been working on a couple of side projects (still related to Dead End).

Well well, it has been a while hasn't it? In fact it has been exactly 109 days since last we released any news. This has been for good reason, we have finished several more prop items and have also been working on a couple of side projects (still related to Dead End).

Here is the usual list of images of props/chars that have been completed:

These are (left to right/top to bottom), Brocks Girl, Meiping, Officer Simone (Updated), Safe, Club, Fire Extinguisher, Pen/Pencils & Box, Flashlight, Payphone, Ashtray, Ashtry + Cigarette + Cigar, Cigarette Pack, Donuts & Box, Car Key, Notepad.

The most noteable of these are Brock's Girl (an as of yet, un-named femme-fatale) and Meiping (a female witness to a murder).

Next on our list of updates is a short Machinima that we made using what assets we had to create a short parody of an old 1940s Occupational Health & Safety Induction video.

It can be seen HERE.

And finally, that last update is that I have now a personal portfolio up and running which can be seen HERE. On it there is detailed infomation regarding many of the props and characters that I have been working on this past year, so if you are interested please have a look and tell me what you think.

Just as an extra note, this new year the production will continue, however it will most likely be slower, and therefore updates will be much fewer and futher between, we are NOT stopping production however, mereley taking time to focus our attention elsewhere.

hahaha the machinima was great, I very rarely actually laugh out loud at internet videos but that was very professional and funny. The mod itself looks good too but judging from the current situation I wouldnt expect a release for a long while.
