Farscape hl2 DEMO
Apr 06, 2008 Demo 10 commentsThe mod is over, but the démo is online. Careful, is very hard... good luck. Just unzip it in your steam steamapps folder, enjoy
Farscape est une série américaine, un space opera d’un genre nouveau, cette série innove par rapport aux autres séries de science fiction.
La série est tournée en Australie ce qui lui assure des décors variés, Farscape ose ce qu’aucune autre série n’osait faire auparavant (ex : certains personnages sont des marionnettes) se qui peut en rebuter certains au premier abord.
Le jeu basé sur la série en sera très proche, la plupart de ces scénarios seront tirés de la série, mais d’autres seront inventés de toute pièce afin de pas donner que du « connu » aux fans.
Il est difficile de créer un jeu en fps (first person shooter) sans tomber dans le jeu type, où il faut tirer avant de discuter. Tout le problème sera d’adapter un jeu plutôt orienté aventure sur un fps.
Dans un soucis de détail et, pour être toujours plus proche de la série les voix et les sons seront tirés d’épisodes, de plus si cela s’avère possible de cours extraits vidéos d’épisodes seront incrustés dans le mod. Afin de respecter ces engagements le jeu sera très scénarisé et diversifié, en effet, plusieurs phases de jeu différentes seront prévues selon la mission (l’épisode) jouée. Voici un extrait des différents modes de jeu pouvant être trouvés dans farscape The game :
Attaque de position
Défense de position
Fuite (escape)
Shoot’em up
Réflexion
Autres....
---------------------------------------------------------
The universe of Farscape is very adapted to developpe a game because of its incredible wealth.
The game is based on the series and will be closed to it. Most of the stories will be based on the series, but other ones will be made up in order not to give some "deja vu" to the fans.
It's hard to develop a game in fps (first person shooter) that don't turn out to be a classic one, when it's shooting then talking. The idea will be to adapt a game more in a "adventure way" on a fps. In that way, we descided to develop an experience system to make the game closer to the evolution that we can feel in the show, and to increase the adventure side of the project.
In order to be still as closed to the series as possible, voices and sounds will come from the episodes. And if it's possible, some shorts videos will be part of the mod.
The game will be very diversified : some different sentences will be prepared according to the mission played.
This is an example of the different game mods which can be founded in Farscape The Game :
* Attack position
* Defensive position
* Escape
* Shoot’em up
* Réflexion
* Others....
The development team is already working on an Alpha version under HL. It will not represent what the game will be under HL² of course. You can visit the art section with some in-game screenshots, a sound art galerie, and some other stuff like wallpapers...
Enjoy the mod, as much as we enjoy working on it.

It would be good to have someone working on this mod.
Or at least expand the demo and make use of all the models in the download.
If anyone felt brave enough they could always email him/her about it jolinarneoathotmail.com
I cant even get most of the stuff into gmod properly... ive managed the pulse pistol model and pulse rifle model and that was it =/ lol
The demo was good though.
BRING MOD BACK NOW! DX
Honestly never watched "Farscape" but playing your well-crafted demo awakened my interest in this series... :) Too bad that your project seems to have come to an end... :(
I really miss this mod, if you ever think about reviving the mod and you need a hand, I'd be more than happy to help you jolinar
Being a real Noob hear Btw.. can anyone tell me how to play this Demo.. I have HL2 (Instaled) Steam (Instaled) Source SDK (Instaled) and i have unzipped the folder into Steam/SteamApps/SourceMods.. But I don't know how to play it.. any help?
Farscape was brilliant... this mod? Not so much. It probably could have been alright if you'd finished it and balanced it and focused more on creating your own locations for battles. When you use an established location (Moya) you limit yourself very obviously to dull brown interlinking corridors.
The look was right, but I think in going for a well known look within the farscape universe you limited yourself to an incredibly dull arena for fighting in.
The weapons in Farscape also only work from a distance. Too close and you realise the peacekeeper pistol resembles a slightly square black hairdrier.
Good effort though, and it's a shame it will never be in a more complete state.
Super ^^ je vais le tel tout de suite mais je sais pas trop si c' est onlien ou pas ... On va voir ^^

Oh no :( Why did you stop?
no enought guys
from the screen shots it appears that much more work was done on this than was released in the demo... and even if some of the things are not finished, it would be very interesting to see, what you accomplished. they did some great work there, and it would be awesome to play around with some of the unfinished content.
