Around November, 2004, several students got together to brainstorm a concept for a total conversion of Valve's Half-Life 2 . After several days of brainstorming, the concept for Eclipse was born. In January of 2005, a group of Guildhall students composed of programmers, artists, and level designers were put together and formed what is now CelTech Studios. It was then that CelTech Studios made the commitment to produce the highest quality game possible in the short amount of time they had - five months. What emerged in late May was a game that is both stunningly beautiful and addictive to play.
Eclipse is a third-person total conversion of Valve's Half-Life 2 . It is an action adventure that features tactical, puzzle based combat, which forces the player to interact with the surrounding environment in order to survive. You play as a young Sorceress named Violet who has learned the secrets of Telekinesis. This allows Violet to easily find objects in the environment that she can pick up and throw. Once the player gets used to picking up objects and throwing them at targets, the movement of Violet becomes very important. Based on where an enemy is Violet might want to pick up one or more objects and then move about in order to get a good angle on her enemy before sending the objects flying in that direction.
As you journey through the different lands of Eclipse , you will uncover many secrets that will help you in defeating your enemies. You will also be able to unlock new abilities that Violet can use, such as Hellstorm - a powerful spell that allows Violet to summon up to three fiery orbs that explode upon impact and deal significant damage to nearby enemies.
Use Violet's power of Telekinesis to help protect you as you journey over distant lands in search of the ancient teleportation device near the Standing Stones. Battle your way through hordes of orc-like creatures known as Keepers as you make your way through the enchanted Blackmoor forest. Find Violet's ancestral burial grounds in the Barrow and unlock dark secrets that will aid you in your final stand at the Standing Stones.
After finishing the game you can unlock the Survival Mode mini-game. This allows you to test your skills with Hellstorm as you battle against wave after wave of enemies. Compare your stats with friends to see who really has what it takes to survive the Standing Stones - Survival Mode.

A hotfix has just been released for Eclipse.
This hotfix corrects some critical crash bugs due to changes to the SDK since the Mod's release. The hotfix can be found on the guildhall servers at:

The hotfix contains code previously unreleased to support for older video cards. While in mod will run on a Geforce2 or another Dx6 card. There are known issues with the mod's content. For more information about these known issues and their current status please view this thread in our forums:

I've already played this great little mod, very much fun, think i played it a couple of times actually, one the of earlier mods released, i was so excited, you guys should definitely think about expanding on it, making it longer and bigger and greater, you did such a good job. Finally, since it was released so early, I was wondering if it requires HL2 itself or just Source SDK Base? I'll probably just try it myself but a response would be nice.
seems like a fun mod, i'll give it a try!
no but mod cool
i dont know how to install this mod please help
i dont know how to DL this help please
Wow. Very very nice idea for a game. and you did good work but as i can see it doesnt look very long, it needs more diversity in maps like at least as big as fable.
i just d/loaded this mod and played it ... brilliant idea ... really good mod but it could b longer ... i played in less than an hour. shame that there is no follow ups to this one ... this could be taken a lot further i think .. i hope that one day this story will continue and we will see new episodes to this mod .. excellent work guys i give this one 10/10
From the description, I have to notice that certain elements seem to be a little..."borrowed"...from Clive Barker's Undying...Whatever, though, as soon as I get my copy of HL2, this is going on my C:!
I think this was the first HL2 mod I tried back when it was first released, it was very impressive and I still remember it well. They also put the physics to good use.
hey guys
I need help
I really wanna play this mod but when I start it
steam tells me : this game is currently unavailble
has anyone an idea what could be the mistake i made when I installed it ?
Thx
