The first level of this mod was really brilliant, especially the choice of the relaxing piano music and the interesting puzzles, but from that on - despite interesting mapping ideas and cool new guns - the overload of colors unfortunately hurt my eyes... :/
Ok i liked the beginning of this mod... the island on the surface was sort of spooky, and desolate. It seemed to have a unique and rather abstract style, and the music wasn't too bad too.
But then later levels came in, and it was just randomly constructed room after randomly constructed room. And some of them looked quite good and detailed.
But then the Happy Hardcore music kicked in and i felt like crying, the mod had gone severely downhill, and the ending was a total comedown... "you're a great man" and a two sentence line talking about how it is a great tomorrow or something really hit me. Not in a good way.
If there was a story to this is was lost on me, i think it was meant to be exposed through the voice acting, but the quality of your speakers recordings was quite poor i'm afraid. Not their personal faults... post production was begged for and ignored. If you do a similar project in future, i will happily voice and perhaps even post-production recordings for you for free!
Although i did like the colourful style of the game, the disparity of each area, and a system of teleports where you always have no idea where you're going (and i dont consider teleports an excuse for having drastically contrasting areas right next to each other either) made me feel the mod to have been made by multiple people under the very prosiac guidelines of "make it look abstract".
It was good for a while, but the combat intensifies to rediculous amounts, and for what reason? to fill a corridor? After the 20th time of a wall moving aside to reveal bad guys, i'm less than suprised... i'm bored.
Just throwing that out there, as in part... i really enjoyed playing this.
Thanks for the input CdeathJD. I think you missed the boss, there are 2 endings, one if you fight the boss before going through that last teleporter and one if you don't (they are both text, but it is different text at least). Originally there were going to be CG outros but that was cut (there was also going to be a CG intro, which got all the way to storyboarding). While on the topic of cut things, the combine repeater gun was going to look like a minigun (this was modeled, but it was not animated, UV mapped, or textured).
Anyways, as for the voice acting, you are right. I pretty much just grabbed people who were around and used a crummy mic. We are in fact in the early stages of our third project, another singleplayer HL2 episode 2 mod (currently untitled and not on Moddb yet). We are trying to expand our team, and would love to have a dedicated audio person: I'm the main mapper, and would love to have someone who actually knows about audio to help with that section of the project. If nothing else we could definitely use a voice actor. You can email me at zimmbous@gmail.com if you would like to help out on our next project.
Thanks for playing the mod!
I really liked the mod ;) - especially the custom weapons :D
Come on guys... THIS IS BELOW YOU! I saw gateways, and well... IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER! Sure, the name is awesome. Its awe inspiring, just like the name Gateways.But whats the thing with all these wacky textures? It looks like freakin disneyland! No, WORSE THAN DISNEYLAND! Heck, people think this mod is cool? GO GET GATEWAYS! GATEWAYS IS SO MUCH BETTER! But I still love your design, but Im sorry, both storylines are kinda weird. Here is my suggestion to the creators of this mod: Make a mod where you awake in an underground base. The Combine are mining in the center of the Earth, and building great powerful machines to take out human cities entirley. But it all goes wrong, and zombies are everywhere... Say the whole place is powered by lava, so you still have the strange textures you have in all your games that make them a bit diffrent...
I guess not everyone appreciates a unique artistic style...
Those wacky textures are just the style of this mod. It's supposed to be like that. The aim was to make it look freaky :)
Gateway is another thing. A different thing.
As for your mod idea, why don't you learn mapping or something and assemble your own team?
for the green gun can u make it for the ar2 or the gravity gun
You mean use the flechettegun-model for the ar2 and/or gravitygun?
Why would we want to do that?
This is a great mod!
Pros:
Nice Maps
Nice Detailing
Great Sound Track
Cons:
Bad Voice acting
No Gun Reskins
