Update #2 news - Development Mod for Half-Life 2

Dev Maps. They are all so simple and are extremely clean unlike maps which use original textures which already have the dirty look to them as they have the scratches, spills, cracks and things that make them all look not as plane as a simple flat texture. Decals are a great addition when it comes to these sorts of situations which is why in this case I've decided to start making extra decals as the ones valve reated weren't quite the fit for measuring materials. As the dev textures are plane as it is, so the custom decals don't need to be highly detailed but still keep their realism feeling to them which is why for most of the overlays we've gone with the dark and smooth cartoon look.

One thing I've noticed with a lot of mods is that they change EVERYTHING in a mod; but what they seem to forget is that one of the most visual things that happens a lot when encountering enemies, is that blood splatters are never changed. What i find is that changing the blood decals changes quite a lot. I decided to go with a smooth and rounded blood very much like what they did for Fear. Having bright red blood brightens up and makes them more appealing and fresh. Although not all of it will be the same colour, others will be thicker and brighter than the others which will show the blood came from different parts of the body as well as cells.
