Robbery is going to be a mod of hl2dm, it won't have single player, most likely. The mod will take place at different maps which are simply houses(anything from a normal house to a mansion to a bank), the player will either be a Thief or a Keeper.

The thieves can buy items such as nightvision, a crowbar, pistol and such. Thieves will be able to do many things, such as cutting the power to a house. Then using nightvision to get around unseen. The Keepers can use basic items that you would find around a house, such as: a hatchet, knife, sledgehammer, etc.

The Keepers will have custom buy menus for things such as: security cameras, traps, and a lot more. Currently we are thinking that the thieves are going to be a bit overpowered and so the housekeepers will get some other cool things too(like a blowtorch =D).We will also have stuff such as presents at christmas time, spookier at halloween, etc.

To make the game a bit creepier, some floorboards creak when stepped on, so the housekeepers may have the power go out and suddenly hear creaking floorboards.

*** New Site To Be Announced Soon ***

Not much to report, a good amount of the coding is now done and we are trying to get some maps made and models done. A skinner/texture artist would definitely be a plus though. The permanent site for Robbery will be up soon! Depending on how fast models and maps are completed, this could very well be one of the fastest mods made for half-life 2 that is completely playable. It will go into internal testing probably within the month.

Funny you mention that since that was planned to be a later item in the game.

This mod looks set to be really fun, were you inspired by home alone to make this? :) Maybe the keepers could get a nailgun or a staplegun (lol) and even a home-made flamethrower?

Actually I wasn't inspired by home alone, I really don't remember what inspired me originally a couple years ago... but something did. Now I just love the idea.

May I suggest that you shouldn't have to buy a viewscreen, and instead have one central room with a monitor that cycles through the feeds from cameras?

Hmm, I'll think about that. Mostly the reason to have to buy it was to make it so players don't have excess money but I guess the starting money could just be lowered to take care of that.

Keepers:
- Camera
- Viewscreen (must have to see live camera feed)
- Alarm System
- Bear Trap
- Ice Maker (has 5 uses, sprays ice on ground causing thieves to slip)
- Door Locks
- Skeleton Key

Thieves:
- Lockpick kit
- Crowbar
- Trampoline
- Wire cutters

- Silenced pistol
- Knife
- Cloroform

- Nightvision
- Flashbangs
- Noisemakers

Those are the current planned items available on the first release. The noisemakers will work a bit like the rocks you suggested except will make the sound of footsteps thus more effective.
