Lab remake news - Episode 17 mod for Half-Life 2

Hello everyone!

As I promised, I will not make you wait for news about the project Episode 17.
In more familiar to you on the original Half-Life 2 and HL2 Beta places in the laboratory have undergone significant changes.
The laboratory is now in the dock in an abandoned warehouse Hersch factory. This is a huge plot of industrial terrain City 17. You do not think, the laboratory is well hidden and no one can get to it..

I tried made refuge dock comfortable enough while desolate. I also paid enough attention to detail: from Kleiner now there is room for research experimental equipment with which he improved your suit (on the new suit I'll explain later), and the big hall where he develops a plant for teleportation. On the picture below you can see how the now looks like Kleiner lab (for comparison, I also attached a screenshot of the Half-Life 2 Beta)

As I wrote in the first news, in Episode 17 action will take place on the maps remakes of Half-Life 2 Beta major changes from me. Talking to the fans of the series Half-Life 2, I have seen comments like "Kleiner always lacked personal room in your shelter." I thought about this idea, and decided to add a "personal little room" for the dock. I tryed do everything possible so that it looked like a room, "strange" Kleiner. :)

Of course, the location has a number of improvements to optimize, work with scripts and lighting. Will replace many prop models (of which I will discuss later). Model Dr. Kleiner will of Half Life 2 - it looks more sweet and strange compared to the beta model. All provided to you footage from the Episode 17 is not the final goal: a lot can change \ supplemented up to full replacement of the level geometry.

So, I have fulfilled my promise - I will not make you wait a long time with news and new screenshots. From you I expect constructive criticism, suggestions and comments. Thank you, watch out for the project, it very important for us. In the next newsletter I will also share with you about the location of Episode 17, will show new footage (there will be more!), and will discuss the detailed gameplay. I hope was able to interest. See you soon!

P.S: And do not forget to listen to the first soundtrack to Episode 17. We highly appreciate your opinion.
