Articles - The Shades mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

The Shades features multiple enviroments, its own story/backstory, random events along with realism added such as player viewbob. The first enviroment is mostly mapped out with some random occuring events. Detail will be added along with alot more events, sounds and a better atmosphere. All music is made by us. The whole idea of this mod is to demonstrate how music can be a huge influence when creating scary atmosphere and fear in the player, and to demonstrate music technology skills. At the same time we can provide an experience for players who are willing to play The Shades. This is heavily inspired by very popular mod 'Underhell' by Mxthe and the WeCreateStuff Team. We are not copying their mod and no violation of Underhell's property is intended. We are making this from scratch with our own story, enviroment and events. The mod is intended for full release April 2012, but chapters may be released early.
