Please note that this game is still in conception stage, and for now no media will be available to show to the public yet.

I am the leader for this mod, and I primarily work in music, sound effects, storyline and public relations.

Nepranexos is a mod built on the half life 2 engine completely stripped down of anything of it's former game and replaced with a completely new interface, skins, models, sounds and interactivity. In short, a total conversion.

Following a genre that I like to refer to as a 'dirty' sci fi environment, akin to films like Bladerunner, Event Horizon and Alien, this is a horror tale told by three distinctly unique people revolving around the disaster that occured at Nepranexos; an asteroid mining colony turned to prison to house non-humans of the worst kind. Terrorists, cannibals and psychopaths take up residence in this dark place, where there is no such thing as cells and mealtime. You work until you pass out from exhaustion. In the event that you're not found dead, or if you're found at all, you are taken to a common room, where a robotic arm will inject you with stimulants and force a gruel into your stomach before you're sent back down into the mines. The kill camp of the future, owned and operated by the human Terran Alliance Force.

The disaster that takes place is in the form of a cargo ship of unknown origins collides with the station, killing thousands of inmates and guards. Those were the lucky ones. Only minutes after impact strange creatures begin creeping out of the crevices and unused tunnels, apparently stirred by the impact, and begin running rampant through the station leaving heaps of bodies in their wake. What's more? The guards who were never tolerable of inmates begin killing enmasse, and on top of that, the station's AI, Elizabeth, seems to have her own agenda, that involves the indifferential slaughter of everyone on board, Amidst this chaos does the story take place, where you will follow the stories of three distictly different people. Each of these stories will take place in the form of 'acts' that will flow together to follow a complex and interweaving storyline that explores every aspect of fear, from the in-your-face gore and violence in every direction, to the movement you can't quite see encompassing every shadow in this claustrophobic labyrinth.


ACT I: ESCAPE

Your name is Grlszl. Convicted of numberless accounts of terrorism and cannibalism against your own kind, and specifically the Terran Alliance, you were sent to Nepranexos Prison as an inmate, sentenced by the hands of a Judge, amidst cheers of an entire nation. You must escape during this chaos, using tooth, claw, any weapons your can find, as well as some of the most inhuman acts imagineable to wade through pure hell as you combat inmates, guards, machines, and those strange creatures to gain your freedom.


ACT II: RECONNAISANCE

Your name is Jakob Stone, Born in the british commonwealth of space colony Devon, and a member of the Terran Alliance Force Interstellar Rangers. You and your squad were in a small dropship in transit from base to your colony, everyone gathered around tables, laughing, smoking, drinking, and playing cards. Unlucky for all of you, your ship happens to be closest to Nepranexos, and it's that ship that gets the order to go and investigate the sudden break of communications from the colony. Begrudgingly, you and the squad you're a member of suits up and prepares for an experience those who survive will never, ever forget.


ACT III: EXTRACTION

As of this moment the only memory you have is the one winding it's way through you. The words 'download complete'. You're lying in a comfortable bed and looking at a rather boring ceiling. You know what they are, but that's it. A console beside you beeps, and you hear the gentle words Wake up, Visage...". Glancing out the viewscreen, you can see the asteroid colony your ship is about to collide with...

Long story short, this mod at one point had a team of twelve members, that has rapidly dwindled since then to one coder, 3 concept artists, one texture artist, and one modeller/animator. This team will definitely need more members to continue, as a lot of old work was lost and we have so far to go to accomplish our goals. We require one or more people to fill the following roles:

Secondary Modelling (Weapons, mundane objects.)

Concept Artist (Scenery, Machinery)

Website Administrator (You will be maintaining, running and updating the Nepranexos Website. You also get full creative rights to design)

Graphics Artist (To create promotional artwork)

Mapper (Someone familiar with Valve Hammer. scripting Sequences a plus. If you don't know, then we'll need a second mapper)

Secondary Coder (Needed to help Declinsion with coding duties. At the start it'll be boring and simple, but as things progress it'll get more complicated)

Voice Actors/Vocal sound people (If you can speak with a clear voice and can record it, let me know. If you can make odd sounds or multiple voices, even better)

Promotors (If you want to contribute but don't know how, this is how you do it. Volunteer to help spread the news of this game around. Go to other forums and recruit, advertise when you can. Essentially, net team!)
