You are Jakob Daniels, a resistance member who is tasked with protecting Dr. Mossman who was sent north from White Forest to acquire the combine launch codes. You know the urgency of this mission, you have heard that the portal the Combine are creating has the potential to end the war between the humans and the Universal Union once and for all. And it would end in the extinction of the human race. You don't know exactly where you are heading, only that it is in a cold and snowy environment, as we are provided equipment suitable for the climate. You don't know much about what Dr. Mossman is looking for either, it seems kind of strange we're looking for Combine launch codes in an area where the Combine have showed no interest. None the less, you trust the Doctor knows what she's doing. As your helicopter descends into a ravine, you see a stone building, and next to it, a large ship in the side of a iceberg. Near the end of the ship on the hull, you see the word "Borealis..."
Nice bro! dont let this mod die!
No matter what, I plan on making a mod at some point, and no matter what, this will be my first mod. So no matter what, it will come out. Now, like said in the description, it is going to be quite a while before it comes out, I am constantly researching how to use the tools. And currently I'm on Linux so I can't make maps :( Source SDK isn't compatible with Linux, and with wine its too buggy. But I'm getting a new computer soon, as soon as I get a job, (I'm almost 16 Pl0x no mak3 fun) but I'm homeschooled so I have all the time in the world to make this mod, currently I'm developing what I can on Linux, like the story line, characters, events etc.
Hmm. Okay, so this is your actual own content, yes?
I kinda like the glow effect on the masks.
The models are not mine, I'm thinking about using these Arctic Combine models in my game. The glow in the mask though, is something my co-developer has done. He messes with models and animations.
Will there be things you as author, have developed and coded yourself? it is your mod, after all. I'd like to see what you're capable of.
Yes, that is a totally valid question. I am using 3D modeling software this moment to dip my toe in model making. This Mod is in such early Dev, everything could change and likely will. I'm so new to developing thats why I am being safe and saying this mod could take up to 2 years. Which also gives me extra time to wait for the release of HL2 ep3 or HL3. Which could prompt story changes if deemed necessary. Although I'm not counting on the release :( Also, I have gotten another developer saying he will likely help me, as I am helping him with the game he is developing.
