Dissolution is a science fiction, single-player mod for Half-Life 2 that mixes adventure and action game-play. Set in the year 2089, in a universe dominated by a mega corporate entity, Xterrier, the player awakes in a hidden lab to the voice of the mysterious Wilson. Guided by Wilson, the player must make their way through the ravaged Xterrier 581c colony, making use of any and all resources they can get their hands on in order to survive, all the while attempting to piece together the events leading to the colony's collapse and their own identity.

It’s been a long-standing tradition for the Dissolution universe mods to feature protagonists that really like their drink. Would The Apocalypse really be a successor to these mods if it didn’t continue the tradition?

It’s been a long-standing tradition for the Dissolution universe mods to feature protagonists that really like their drink.

In Dissolution, the player was lucky enough to be able to feed his habit through vending machines…

Drinks through the ages


In Lunar Descent, the player had more refined tastes, so wine was brought in…

Would The Apocalypse really be a successor to these mods if it didn’t continue the tradition? Now the player has the choice of old-time favourite Beastly Brandy (now with a new model) and he can also quench his thirst (er, restore his health) with rum, too!

I’m happy to say that progress has been very steady over the summer. I’ve created the main monster model (my first finished 100% custom character model, a very exciting development personally) and almost all of the levels are largely complete at this stage.

My hope is to post a front-page media release, with a small gameplay trailer, in November or December. Then, sometime in 2022, I hope to release the first version of the mod.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed making this mod, I must say. Lunar Descent was a very painful development experience (it almost put me off development forever), but Apocalypse has been smooth and steady. I’ve learned a lot – developed a lot – as a game developer.

I hope everybody reading is well and healthy.

I hope so! The two big focuses for the mod are: a tense atmosphere and an intriguing story.

Crazy to see you're still going after all these years where most classic mod creator drop off the Earth. Big hype for what you got in store!
