You take the role of Nick Farrel, a technical engineer in Delta Base - the complex that competes with Black Mesa in various research fields including exploration of the borderworld Xen and weapon development. Due to accidental entanglement of two different experiments conducted at the same time the infamous resonance cascade affects the Delta Base as well, bringing the hostile alien lifeforms which infest the facility very soon.

Report RSS Progress #4 – NPC

Hello, guys! It's the last article about the latest progress. Now let's speak about NPC and enemies.

Posted by on

1) Robotic Infantry. I'd like to show you new enemy: robotic infantry! Robotic enemy which has well-protected from small calibre weapons armor. You can defeat him in two ways: 1) using powerful weapons or explosives 2) hitting the weak point - red eye/visor. When killed, it always drops additional item - battery for your suit. Also, there will be a friendly version.

2) Mercenaries. The plot was reworked a bit. No more HECU forces and BlackOps. Soldiers and assassins represent the same faction - mercenaries. Assassins are armed with silenced SMGs in semi-auto mode (drops a gun when is killed). Initially, their goals are not clarified for player. Some things and clues will help you answer this question on maps where you could fight their forces. Will you take a chance to figure their goals out?

3) Assassin zombies. A new kind of zombie that can be invisible while walking. This zombie becomes visible only when attack player or takes a heavy instant damage. The level of transparency depends on the selected game difficulty.

And here are some new small features:
– Secutrity officers armed with glocks can use burst-fire mode
– Most enemies have own footsteps sounds
– Mercenary tanks added as a vehicle enemy

That's all!
And as you could see there was no release last year. Don't panic, everything will happen soon. The current progress is 95-97%.There are a few things left to do...

See you soon!

In Residual Point and Residual Life mods. But that assassin zombies had quick movements and no stealth. Apparently based on bullsquid code.

Robotic Infantry is such a missed opportunity for an enemy considering he has a functioning model courtesy of the German Version of HL.

And nice job mixing it up with Merc's instead of the HECU, I think they got their hands full handling Black Mesa ;)

Oh wow, I didn't expect it to be reworked like this. Interesting!

Also nice idea for the idea of mercanaries and assassin's. I wasn't too sure about the HECU approach but I think this will work much better.

[I hope that's not rude to say.]

The robot soldier is probably gonna be the most interesting one to deal with. Especially since it's a... robot, although friendly ones is most definitely interesting! I am absoltuley excited and especially knowing it's nearing completion is good! I wish this project and the team well!
