The Team:
Employee8 (Lead Developer):
Hey, I'm the founder as well as co-lead of Uprising. I've been mapping since early 2019 and originally started Uprising in 2020 to try out the Entropy : Zero SDK. I'm mostly a level designer on this team, but I also work on music, scripts, choreography and textures from time to time. I hope you'll enjoy our mod!
Filipad (Lead Developer):
Hi, I'm the second co-lead of Uprising. I joined Employee early in the development, back in 2020, when he shared the project's first proof of concept on the Entropy : Zero discord server which immediately caught my eye. I've been working with him on maps ever since.
Critfish (Mapper):
Greetings. I've always had an interest in close-to-vanilla HL2 mods that keep to the style of the base game, and upon playing E:ZU's first episode, I knew that this was a project that I had faith in. I joined the team in mid-2023 as a mapper, hoping to utilise and improve my level design and artpassing skills, after having experimented with my own personal HL2 mod and a number of Portal 2 workshop maps. I'm excited to be working with HL2's assets in a serious project for the first time, and I hope to make a good impression on the mod going forward.

Tacarish (Mapper):
My history with EZ:U started in 2021, back then I was (mostly) just a playtester and consultant. I got promoted in late 2023 though, and now I'm pitching in as a mapper! You may have played some of my work in Map Labs' competitions, and I'm hoping to bring that good ol' Tacarish charm to EZ:U as well B)
(fun fact, I made the original MP5K animations for EZ:U!)
Blixibon (Choreography):
Hi! I'm currently around to help out with choreography, custom animations, and provide miscellaneous advice or input. I only became a direct part of the team after E:ZU's initial release, although I've been involved as a contributor, advisor, or playtester in some capacity since 2021. You might also know me as a developer of E:Z2 and/or Mapbase!
CW3D (Voice Actor):
Hi, I'm the voice of one of your metrocop partners in EZ:U, BEC. I was brought onto the team in 2020, able to give this metrocop personality, hoping that players will enjoy spending their time with BEC along their journey.
Spoops (Voice Actor):
Hello! My name is spoops, I was brought on around the time of the april 2022 anniversary update to voice bloody cop, your new sidekick who’s as maniacal as he is hotheaded. I can’t wait to see him brought to life in the game, probably as much as he can’t wait to kick some rebel ass alongside you!
Blu_Soldier001 (Voice Actor):
I mess around in audacity and sometimes voice gas masked dudes who want people to pick up cans.
Trivvy (Voice Actor):
Hi, I don't do anything but take up room on this page. Bye.
Mazikeen (Voice Actress):
Yo, I'm Mazikeen but you can call me Maze! I voice the strong, badass but evil female traitor. A huge threat to the Combine, or am I? I was brought onto the team in December of 2022 and am flattered to be a part of this project. I loved bringing her personality to life, and I hope you enjoy being devious with her in your escapades; that is...if you trust her.
