Half-Life: The Core is a classic retelling of the events surrounding the Resonance Cascade disaster from a new perspective. Featuring intense action, complex puzzles and believable narrative through all-new locations in Black Mesa with remarkable visual fidelity, pacing and humour.
You're sure these foundations will hold, right?
Amazing.
I still haven't forgiven you for what you did on Starkiller Base. But thanks for the comment.
That is most definitely pretty sexy mapping.
That is most definitely a pretty sexy Joebama.
Well, I AM pretty sexy after all...
Nice attention to details, love the wiring c:
Nah, the wiring is ****** down here. Look at that, there's a whole light fixture that's shorted right there.
That looks great.
YOU look great.
COOL!
Sorry, I'll check the AC.
Man, Black Mesa is even bigger than I thought.
I also hear it makes bootcamp seem like Disneyland.
Hell, I'll buy the whole damn bar.
I... wat?
If only Drill Instructor Barnes could see me now.
You are an extremely silly man.
Nice work Archie, there is one minor little detail that caught my eye. Unfortunately, I don't know how to describe properly with words so I had to take my massive M$ Paint skill to show you what I mean : Image.noelshack.com
Ha, thanks! Yeah, it's a weird thing I only noticed in The Core relatively recently... We've done so many things to add detail, yet all our railing and ladders still use {transparent textures, when making them out of brushwork would be relatively inconsequential on performance. In fact, we practically already do, since the top and end rails of every railing are solid on all sides anyway.
Superb work as always :) . I love the nicely done pipes, the texture choices, all the cables and the openings on the ceiling. Awesome, just awesome :) .
Thanks, dude! Your comments are always super appreciated!
The thing that totally sells me on this mod is that it seems to have such a wide range of environments, yet each seems to still capture the essence of Black Mesa so well. Excellent atmosphere. Everything you guys put out teems with detail and radiates quality.
I like this guy!
Every location looks unique and fantastic - you make me very jealous! It's not a competition but you have already won :p
You're very kind!
I like the section with the open ceiling. Lots of eyecandy.
Black Mesa's safety officers haaaate it. Some of the scientists try to throw Coke cans from the walkway down through the ceiling. It was all fun and games 'til Barney ended up in hospital.
Damn, Archie! Talk about an author who is responsive to the community. Either you're constantly drunk or you're simply a really nice fellow :D
Can't it be both? :)
It's super both
Who knew GoldSrc could look THIS good.
I guess Archie did. :)
fR4gn0tix!, you're far too kind. :')
Ah it's been a long time for me and I come back to Moddb just to see even more awesomeness by the two geniuses named Urby and Archie. Very well done guys as always!
You're welcome to stay!
