Half Life 2: The Rebellion

[VinnyB]

Hi there! I'm making a mod as a summer project. The mod is called The Rebellion, where you play as a rebel who is part of the uprising after Nova Prospekt is destroyed. It will be very short, only 10 short chapters with 1 map in each, as im one of the only people making the mod (1 of 3, as of yet). Currently it's been running since friday, which makes 3 days, and i already have the chapter 2 map completed (no enemy and ally placement yet, that comes at the end). the chapter 1 map is 25% completed; the base layout is mostly done, but adding props hasn't started yet - hopefully props will be done by the end of tomorrow. Menus and chapters are already configured, so its just the actual levels left. This game is being produced very fast.

BTW, my computer is pisspoor, so the settings are very low, which means the end result will look much better on higher caliber computers. Also, the maps are not lighted (mat_fullbright 1) so the screenshots are fairly plain looking. Anyways, here are the first screens:




Another team member is doing the lighting for that particular map, and all the others, which is why its not particularly great...yet

In terms of help, at present we only really need 2 people:
1 Mapper, and 1 Animator (or at least somebody to help put the animations in-game, as i can sort of animate, not 100% though)

90 degree angles are bad :|

Alright...but it doesn't look like the street war. I understand its set in that week right? Well, you could slowly change the state of things. I have never even tried to make a mod, but playing through Anticitizen One and Follow Freeman A LOT would be advised for this.
As I said, it doesn't look Half-Life; put some litter on the street, make the buildings more grubby...oh and put a mixture of rebel and combine propoganda.
Just some advise, your mod has a lot of potential. :thumbs:

Thanks for the input, the way it stands is that chapter's map is in a very remote part of C17, which is why theres a 1-way road and different style of architecture. The road leads onto a main road, which is going to look much more like C17. Somebody else is "dirtying up" the map, making it look more real, but we hadn't thought about the propoganda - ill add that to the list

It's right at the beginning of the week, which is why theres no destruction.

Uhu, so presumubly the destruction gets worst with each chapter? And who do you play as?
