Half of year was passed away and we are doing new progress report. This 3 months was dedicated to make first chapter better, porting to Entropy : Zero 2 and story write. Keep in mind about everything what you will see is subject to change and YOU can change it with your feedback! I hope you will be enjoyed what you will read about our journey in developing.
ENTROPY: ZERO 2
First of all, Breadman and his team did a really great and hard job doing his masterpiece. E:Z2 is really awesome modification and you should play it. Gameplay, story, details what have E:Z2 was very motivating thing for our team. Currently we porting I:Z to E:Z2. Why E:Z2? E:Z2 have many improvements for AI, engine and weapons what can improve I:Z and make it better. Will I:Z addon for E:Z2 workshop? Nope. The E:Z2 workshop has very limited functionality for our ambitions.
STORY
As you know, E:Z2 have really good story, what perfectly fits to HL lore. Aiden Walker (aka Bad Cop or 3650) have his own opinion and does not depend on the Combine, what can be bad for them. As we know, Combine brainwash his army. Overwatch becomes his collective mind. But what if Overwatch will be disabled? We believe that 4813 is the opposite of 3650. 4813 really believes that the combine helps people and is their ally.
CHAPTER ONE: RUPTURE
We did a playtest, what showed us on my mistakes. This feedback was fresh air for me. Most weak place was first map – izch1m01. From this map was started I:Z development. This choice was not easy, but I redid this map from zero. Also, Mapbase gave us some cool lights, named projected textures. This lights cast all shadows, instead of baked ones. This help to make lighting more cinematic and better at some places. 
TEAM
From last progress report we got some new people what want to work on this modification. We got new mappers, voice actors, sound engineer and model guy. Now our dev team contains 10 people and 7 playtesters! This is enough to make high quality mod.
FUTURE DEMO
We want to give you confidence what our work will be not a HDTF2, so we will launch demo soon. This demo will have first chapter what contains 3 maps and 30 minutes of gameplay.
OVERALL
As you can see, we work on this hard. We have some intresting things for you in future, one of this things will be released really soon and this is first chapter teaser what will show you gameplay and locations. Thank you for reading this!
