The Seven Hours War was humanity's downfall - our worst day, our final day.
In a few fleeting hours, thousands of machines, soldiers, and creatures poured onto our world from theirs through endless rifts in the night. Whole cities were swallowed, countless lives snuffed out. Against such a power, how can we hope to dream that any trace of our civilization will remain when the sun rises?
There will come a time when only one human being is left alive.
What if that time was now?
What if that human was you?

Just to let you all know what's going on: I'm moving away from mapping and towards modeling for the time being because I'm running into many symptoms of my map being too full. I'm exceeding vert buffers everywhere, turning on your flashlight will instantly crash the game (dynamically lit vert buffer overflow), waterindicies at 85+%, and the like.
So, the majority of my time now is going to be spent blocking out props in Hammer, then exporting them to XSI to build them up, then switching between XSI and Gimp (and Agave and Inkscape at points) to get a nice UV map from which I can build the diffuse, specular and normal maps. If you couldn't tell, I've settled into quite a nice Linux/Windows workflow across my two computers.
I've been experimenting with a self-shadowing bumpmap plugin I found on the Interloper's forums, too, and if I get to the point where I'm extremely satisfied with the results, I'll post up some screenshots.
Thanks to everyone who's decided to watch Everything Dies and all those who have left comments, be they here or on Interlopers - you guys make this whole process a lot more worthwhile.
Also (wow, I can hear the laughter already), Everything Dies now has it's own Facebook page. When I want to show off something, but don't consider it to be of ModDB quality, I'll post it there.
Go add it now! Inflate my ego!

Is this taken from the Type o negative song "everything dies"?
Nope.
I'd never heard of that band until I google'd "Everything Dies" a month or two ago. Still haven't listened to the song; no real interest.
Not to poke holes or anything, but I believe the Seven Hour War did not begin until long, long after the nuke destroyed Black Mesa. The portal storms occupied the months in between the nuke going off and the Combine invasion.
I know.
I'm compressing the timeline from about a month into a few hours.
Hey Diss, sorry to take a piss on your parade but how can you explain the trans-human soldiers? Ah. I think I know the answer.
