Colony : 5 will be a HL2 mod that relies heavily on teamwork, strong leaders, and crackshot individuals. The mod gameplay style's listed as RTS, but that's really for the leader of each side. The other will be be playing the game FPS still. There will be two sides (pretty obviously) Humans and Aliens. The leader of each side will give orders to their teammates to build structures required for tech upgrades that will aid them in annihilating the other. Some planned featuers: Top view and Starcraft style HUD for the commder/leaders Structure building and a resource system Using as many of the HL2 features to their fullest extent Interactive buildings - i want this game to push machines to the limit Drivable Vehicles Unique guns and devistating alien attacks Outdoor environment - i.e. realistic weather effects Completely Modular Base Management (you'll see what we mean) Addictive gameplay So imagine Starcraft or Warcraft... only moreso multiplayer, way more teamwork, and you...

Ok I just feel the need to post a little update to let the few modwatchers know things are still going on. Cowtipper has taken a leave of absence (possibly permanent I guess) to deal with some personal issues. I was sidetracked by a different coding project, however thats done and I've been back at

Ok I just feel the need to post a little update to let the few modwatchers know things are still going on. Cowtipper has taken a leave of absence (possibly permanent I guess) to deal with some personal issues. I was sidetracked by a different coding project, however thats done and I've been back at work for a little while now.

update on things:

  • We have a solid HUD developed for the marines, with radar etc, looks very cool in my opinion.
  • I've built in the ability to take control of turrets (currently only one basic rocket turret available), works pretty well, a bit of fine tuning needed.
  • There is an active menu interaction system for communicating with structures and ordering them to move, build, self-destruct, whatever.

I'm going to post some help wanteds in the near future calling for modellers/skinners/whatever. Anyone with any amount of experience who is interested in developing cool looking structures/vehicles/towers/players feel free to contact me.

Thats it for now, I'll try to get some decent screenshots together and post to the main page.
