Half Life MOD

[SUPERNOVA]

Hello, to all those out there who might be interested.
We are developing a mod for half life 2, based on a completely different line to half life. basically, our own game but with source.
We are looking for any one who can help out in any way.
The mod has no name, as the current one had to b taken down as it is needed for something else, but the website will be up when a few links a re finished.

Concept Artists would be a valuable addition, as would any thing really.

hanks for reading.

SUPERNOVA. :cheers:

You might want to supply some additional information, such as storyline, setting, etc; people aren't going to join a mod they know nothing about.

Here goes the story so far. it is subject to change. The mod was originally called Shattered Existence and you may see it being mentioned or somewhere in the forums on moddb.

In a future where the world is perfect. Earth shines bathed in the light of peace. Almost perfect.

An AI, a machine, rules over the planet. Most of humananity is linked together through the vast construct that like some bizare insect directs their every action and thought. There is no individuality. That has long since been devoured in the core of the mechanical abomination.

Under the ruthless control of the only free humans, the magistrate, earth has prospered. Earth has not had a war for centuries, and the corruption of the individual has been extinguished.

So...if everyone is controlled by this hive mind, what is the basis of the gameplay?

 

[krushdbug]

Be the best worker! Please the hive mind! Fellate the AI! Or else.. SHATTERED EXISTENCE!!! *dramatic music*

 

[Ennui]

Fellate the AI? lmao!

I don't see what your gameplay aspect is there... what will make this mod fun?

(I thought Equilibrium immediately)

 

[SUPERNOVA]

The plot hasnt been fully fleshed out yet, but ideas are that you start off working for this AI, which i point to add, is actaully controlled by another group of mysterious humans (at the moment ;>). Your will start off under the control of the AI, which will be apparent through some cool effect (also not decided). Your character will then suddenly be cut from the AI (which is giong to possibly be called SHARD or something like that.

Your overall goal is to find out why you suddenly were released. and most importantly, who by and for what purpose.

I have had several people say things like 'matrix' and yes, Equilibrium.

We are trying to deviate as far as possible by modifying it slightly. But in fact, we came to the stroy as we wanted a AI and a solid structure.

Anyway, going to check my email. Maybe a concept artist or somebody has replied.

My address is [email protected] if anyone wants a job.

Once again, keep posting. Because at the moment, anything , including constructive critiscising is helping.

 

[SUPERNOVA]

:< nope.

Anyway, going back to the gameplay aspect, it will play like half - life of course (probably not as good though lol).

We are giong to redesign all the weapons, new skins the works. basically our own FPS using the wondeful tool called source.

Now, see, the gameplay concepts sound cool.

I like the idea of some sort of visual cue of being part of a hive mind. Sound effects could be great too. Maybe a giant internet made up of people's brains.

Either way, I say persue it just to do it. Just one problem, I'll see if you pick up on it:

We are trying to deviate as far as possible by modifying it slightly.

If you want to deviate as far as possible, you might want to modify it more than just slightly. Just a thought. Or don't deviate from the concept that much, and just make it fun. Considering it's a game, that shouldn't be too much to ask.

 

[SUPERNOVA]

I am trying to stay to the plot we have. At the moment we are going to try and get a goal for these magistrates. I would it to be deeper than a shallow puddle.

Im wondering if SHARD even has to be construcuted by them.... Well, thats one area we are xploring, as well as Some kind of 'Transcedence' routine.

Anyway, got two guys asking to be concept artists so check back often pls.

My only gripe is there aren't enough Rubber piggies.. other than that its sound. Good luck with your mod!
