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.
We're sorry, but no images, videos or audio files have been added to this gallery.

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 :)
