HELIX is a First person shooter source modification created by my brother Xyius (aka Exos212, akA Mr.Data :P), and me, Xyos212. Its emphysis on originality graphically is advanced source mapping, modeling, and texture art. Our goal is to make this look as realistic as possible, but still run at least at 40 FPS on an average machine. (HDR disabled will compensate alot of FPS problems for the low end machines) The gameplay is still being drawn up as we create content. The setting, story, and weapons are all done (in concept) and ready for mapping/modeling, etc. So far gameplay will be as follows: Round based, decent HP so it takes a bit to take an enemy down, Unique movement abilities to vary gameplay, and more little tweaks to the way you recover HP, deal damage, and destroy the enemy. TO SEE THE STORY LINE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AND CLICK "STORY" This is an abstract gameplay explination, and will be updated as we go along. Right now its a bit cumbersome to post progress on a continious...

After a bit of a break we are back to work on Helix. Since we did not have a true content update in awhile I have compiled a video of a fly through of the first four maps. This video doesn't just show you a section and then cut out to the next map. It flyies through the entire map boasting the mapping and detail put into each one. As of now we are currently developing two more maps. When the mod releases we hope to have 15-20 maps.
Also work has been increasing on not only the maps but Concepts of the second character model are being done. We hope you enjoy! To read more on Helix Mod or to see more content please visit..

Uuuuh. Is that song from your soundtrack? I really like it.
Everything but the lighting is great in my opinion. If you can work on that, this mod will have some very attractive maps.
Nah, the music is from Homeworld. And, the maps are very, very nice archetecturally. You've got some talented people working on them.
Ya that song is from the Homeworld battle music: "turanic raiders battle music". Its just a song thrown in for the video.
We are going to be tweeking lighting and light maps in the maps constantly.
Thanks for the comments btw.
The maps are looking pretty good.
