Earthbound: Source is a total-conversion Half-Life 2 mod that turns the cult-classic SNES RPG EarthBound into a real-time, 3D action game.

We want EarthBound: Source to be EarthBound in a 3D world. So, we're using many of the exact textures that made up the sprite-based world of EarthBound. Even in its current, more infant stages of development, it already has set itself far apart from Half-Life and other Half-Life mods. We hope to incorporate many features you'll recognize from EarthBound, such as an experience/level system. Of course we haven't forgotten the PSI, and we're aiming to include an objective-based Co-Op mode full of the familiar EB allies and enemies

Each player will get to choose to play as either Ness, Paula, Jeff, or Poo. If you've played EarthBound, you'll know them well. Each player will have their traditional basic melee attack, as well as a number of signature PSI attacks. For example, Ness is given his classic baseball bat for his melee needs, and one of his PSI attacks is the handy Lifeup, used for recovering health. We tried to design each character's arsenal and statistics with a role for them in mind. Ness is going to be the well balanced, all-around option. If you want to trade slightly weaker physical experience for much more PSI firepower, you'll want Paula. If you'd prefer to just throw all of that PSI garbage out the window and blast your enemies with lasers and energy blasts, Jeff's your man.

Hey, it's me, Mr. Satan, the person who put together the ORIGINAL Half-Life: Earthbound team and was WRONGFULLY kicked out!

Anyways, I am back and want to (again) start up the same concept but for Half-Life 2.

Half-Life 2 with the SOURCE engine have much more to offer than Half-Life 1 could.

EARTHBOUND: SOURCE will have the look and hopefully the feel of Mother 2 (Earthbound on SNES). I want to try and use the same graphics (as if you were in a 3D version of the game) -- But perhaps with a bit of texture redesign to give it more eye candy.

Anyways, positions are open, so apply today :)

Unfortunately, most mods start out with a person thinking of a great idea, posting about it, and expecting people to come and help him.
The lead developer of a mod cannot just be "The idea person". He must have the skills and dedication to get more than half of the work on a mod done.

People who lack skills or dedication deserve to be kicked out of mod teams. What use are they? If they can or won't do anything to help the mod, they are basically useless. Just a burden on the other team members.

Remove the images of my work (Winters, Onett, Monotoli, and the Starmen) from your mod gallery at once. When and if I allow you to use them, then and only then do you have my permission to display them.

Also, lacking permission from AJ (Saturn Valley), Shadow (Twoson), and obviously Nuttzy (Ness, Poo, and Titanic Ant), those images do not belong in your gallery either.

I expect them to be removed immediately.

Also, remove me as a team member from the mod.

when mr satan (dewdinthenewd)first came to me about joining this mod team, is was under the assumption that i would be working with the original HLEB team and i was happy to contribute my old work. I came to that conclusion since he had posted screenshots of the original HLEB and its models, (which i had personally made and donated to the original HLEB).

when i discovered that this was by no means a reunion of the original staff it perplexed me, cuz he had posted our work. and had failed to mention who had actually produced the work he is passing off seemingly as his own.

i can now safely say this, ALL of those models in the above screens will never be a part of this mod. i made them for use in the original HLEB, NOT this "reborn" version. the fact that he hijacked HLEB content to promote his completely unrelated mod sealed it.
