Night of the Evil Gas Men news - Wolfcl0ck's Fun Box mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Alright, so you folks need some context. A few weeks ago, I went with my cousin to a game developing camp for about a week. At said camp, we had the chance to use Unity and make a game in about the time one has in a work week. I, being the clever genius I am, came up with a spinoff to Fun Box titled "Night of the Evil Gas Men." In this spinoff, you play as a man named "Brendan Brandon," who has found himself lost in Evil Gas Man Territory, and must escape.

As I had stated, this game is a canonical spinoff to Wolfcl0ck's Fun Box, meaning that it takes place in the same universe, although Brendan Brandon will likely never meet Gorbo and co. Anyway, let's cut to the chase, if you want to try it out yourself, here's a link to do just that. If you want to just watch it, here's a video of an entire playthrough with no commentary or nothin:

I believe you all are overdue for a new demo. That's a shame. Because I haven't come prepared with one. However, I will give an update on how the mod's going. Every level from 2015 era save for Funbox_6 has been redone/updated, and the game itself can be played from start to the end of chapter 5 (Metro HQ.) Metro HQ itself will be done within the next 12 hours unless I do that thing I do where I don't do anything for an incredibly long amount of time for no apparent reason. Anyway, time for some more info on how things are going:

Story: Complete

Code: Partially complete. I need to make 2-3 new npcs, but I already have one.

Music: None. Probably won't make custom music for this chapter, so basically complete, I guess.

Models: Almost complete. I have 4 world models and a model for an npc that will be seen in it, but it wouldn't hurt to make more greenery.

Chapter 8: The Game has Changed (name not final)

Level design: None

Voice Assets: None

Story: Barely. Some key points conceptualized, but no inbetweens yet.

Chapter 9: The Revolution (name not final)

Level design: None-ish. A test map exists.

Voice Assets: None

Story: Complete

Code: None

Music: None

Models: None

So, as it is clear to see, there is still a lot of work to be done before this mod can be released, and I hope that I will be able to get it done before 2019.
