From the east came the Empire, their mecha and weapons soon overwhelmed the defenders of the Allied Kingdoms but, they were beaten.
Three warrior from the Kingdom Domen stood against the tide of chaos when no one else could. Wielding the powers of the eight great elements of mana, the heroes beat back the empire. However, the aftermath of what we today call the Second Imperial War was high indeed. The Empire lies in ruins, the allied kingdoms threaten to break apart from within, and Mana, the source of all magic, has vanished.

Secret of Mana is a Half-Life² Modification in which we are recreating one of the most glorious SNES games:
"Seiken Densetsu2", and as we know it, "Secret of Mana".
The mod will feature a whole world the player can interact with and level up in. And in addition to that we are planing to add coop gameplay as well. Im Dieblein, leader of the mod, and Im currently working on the player models. We have a decent team now and the story is nearly done.
Perhaps you know me of the Half-Life1 Singleplayer mod "Escape from the darkness". I add this in order to make clear that we are very dedicated in what we are doing.
Here some shots of what has already been done. Visit our mod profile or homepage in order to find out more!

Wow, very, very impressive. I am a big fan of the snes games, brings back memories.. haha! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your kind words! Be sure to know you can always stop by in icq and exchange thoughts. Its just that we dont want to feel forced to compete with "other" Hl2 mods all the time
I see you guys are taking the same approach as I'm taking.. ;)
As long as you don't have school or eqivualent, then you'll make fine progress.. :P
As for the screens: they still look great! These maps are a fine example of not doing a detail overkill, but applying the right amount of details at the right spot. Whomever is mapping it is still doing a fine job.
As for you guys not accepting money: I think that's just great, honestly! I can't think of the insane amount of mod teams who are asking for money on their websites to support their hard work. (Which, as previously stated, should be a hobby which you do for your own enjoyment.)
Though I myself haven't played the game on which this mod is based, the media and cool attitude of the team certainly get me exited.
From a modders perspective I also completely understand the media stop, so I'll just bookmark the Mana website in my favorites and drop by every now and then.. ;)
me <3 this mod :)
awesome interview and new screenshots..keep up the good work :)
No... way! Secret of Mana mod?! I wanna play it!!! Great idea and concept WIPs. Lets just hope you guys can finish this w/o quitting halfway through.
