The Ideas That Came Before news

Anyone who has been following this mod knows how rocky the development has been, entire storylines have been thrown into the proverbial dumpster. Well, some with good reason others deserve to be seen and judged on their own merit. Here is the gems in the trash pile.

Half Life Alternate History Mod: "Alternate Outcome"

This mod attempted to answer the question of what if Gordon Freeman and Adrian Shepard didn't complete their mission and had died? The mod would have shown a proxy war fought between Race X and The Xen lifeforms. Of course being a proxy war it was to be fought by humans rather than the alien lifeforms. There was a point in the mod where you were to choose your side. You either sided with the Xenians and agreed to the terms of Humanity being enslaved as the Vortiguants are, or you were to side with Race X where they promised to spare the lives of the Humans who fought for them. The ending of the mod would be a final battle between the Nihilath and the Gene Worm depending on which side you chose, one would be your ally and the other your rival. At the end if you chose the Xen side, humans would be enslaved working alongside the Vortiguants. If you chose the Race X side however, you would be shown a final battle among the last remainign humans and the Race X army, no matter what you would lose this battle and perish along with the human race.

Half Life 2 Alternate History Mod (THIS ONE NEVER WAS TITLED) so we'll just call it "Freeman's betrayal"

What if Freeman accepted Breen\s offer in Half Life 2? This mod idea attempted to answer this question. The result would be Freeman teaming up with the Combine to destroy the Resistance and the Vortiguants in an attempt to stop the G-Man's plans. This would be sucessful and as a result the G-Man would have Breen killed by controlling his own guards to kill him and Freeman would become the new Adminstrator of Earth. Severing his contract with the G-Man but becoming the leader of the Combine Occupation on Earth.

Half Life 2 Civil Protection Closure Storyline DRAFT 1 (NEVER TITLED) so we will call it "Civil Forclosure"

This mod answered the question of what happened to the Civil Protection after Episode 2. Some of them defected to the Resistance, some of them self destructed, but a signifigant portion of them joined a rogue faction that were fighting for survival against both the Combine and the Resistance. You see they thought the Resistance wanted them dead but they knew if they fought for the Combine they'd have to be converted into a proper solider. So this mod detailed the life and death of the last of the Civil Protection by an outright onslought by both the Resistance and The Combine. The group had a fanitical leader (apocalypse cult type) which is why they stuck together, this leader would die in the 4^th act resulting in a fracture where some Civil Protection members go rogue and try to escape the compound and some sticking together until their and your end. The Combine want the base destroyed because their is data there, the Resistance just want to wipe out this rogue faction and take the information.

Half Life 2 Civil Protection Closure Storyline DRAFT 2 (NEVER TITLED) so we will call it Fall of City 17

This one showed the battle and fall of City 17, pretty simple in terms of storyline you fought the resistance but the divide between the Officers became greater following the demise of Breen and the inevitable destruction of the City. You'd have to choose a side, either stick with the Combine loyalist or go rogue and assault the trainstation to save yourselves. You'd die if you went with the loyalist on a final stand in the city ending with the explosion of the Citadel. But if you went for the trainstation route, you'd fight and your side would lose. You'd hide and disguise yourself as Resistance going on the same train as Barney did.

Automated Map Editor Script Draft 1

This mod draft was about a person who lived their entire life inside of a virtural reality simulation because they were "too smart for society" meaning they didn't sell themselves out to the elites so they would live their life in this simulation that created virtural worlds on demand to control technological advancement. The machine glitches and you have to escape. The game would end with a final battle between the head guard, 2 of his goons and you taking his car and escaping before the quarntine team wipes out the expendeded assets.

Automated Map Editor Script Draft 2

This was about a person who found out that the world was a lie created by aliens and finds themselves on a spaceship fighting to free the humans. This one was scrapped pretty quick so this is it pretty much.

First Trial Draft 1

You take control of a clone with an implanted brain in a facility. You work on technological innovations for your life but want to escape. So you try to finding a way to teleport to the owner of the facility and defeat him. The problem is the teleporation technology has side effects that result in necrosis. You find this out too late as you realize there was a reason the leader of the group was in a healing machine. To preserve what was left of him. The mod ends with the final twist of you being on a spaceship and dying in the bridge of the ship looking out at the multiverse.

SCP:Displacement

This mod was about a SCP facility that was under construction and you play a scientist who tests a teleporation device. Causing the entire facility to be sent into space. The problem is the place is falling apart and you must escape. Spoiler but you don't and are sucked into space reaching the "surface" of the comet.

Last Life Script

You are the last human on Earth. The whole mod was about exploring the ruins of humanity and surviving on your own. I got this idea when I wanted to make a mod lonier than Portal. The ending would be finding out you weren't alone, everyone's mind was transfered to technology. You were being watched the entire time for the entertainment of the observing "humans"

These are all the scripts I can think of so far. There were probably more I didn't write here. If I can remember more I will try to add them. Thanks for reading.
