Urban Conflict

Hello, everyone!!

You can remember me as I made the two Half-Life DM beta styled maps called "protocity" and "protoconstruct", well today I want to present to you my new project.

I'm creating a single player mod for Half-Life, since I have too much freetime nowadays, the story doesn't involve Gordon, but all new original one.

I have made sneak peek video for you all, these two maps have been made in two days, yesterday and today.
Map scripting and NPCs will be added later, because I'm not good with them, also I want to finish the level maps before proceeding.

Please let me know what do think of it!

I will post future updates in this thread!
PS: I won't disappear again like before, promise!  Sorry for that.

Yes! The great return! I remember the maps you made. You have a talent for HL2 Beta themed content in GoldSrc. I will definitely follow the progress on this one.

Man, that's awesome! Keep it up!

This looks very interesting! I'll be sure to play it when you release it!

Thanks for all of your comments!

I have one screenshot for you people.


Before you ask, no it's not enterable...

I have a question:

How long do you want the initial city chapter? I have planned to make first the suburbs map01 -> map04 then downtown map04 -> map06 and last industrial zone map07 -> map08.

But I think it's too long for a chapter without a single gunplay, since you're supposed to get your suit in the sewer area.

Opinions?

From the same map. Based from concept art.



I have updated the first screenshots, you can view them here.

In my opinion, it's fine for the initial city chapter to be a little longer, as long as there's interesting scenery to look at.

I just published the mod page on moddb. Click here to view.

I also finished map04 (not featured in any screenshot). map05 is in progress, now we're in the central zone of City 17!

stay tuned.

This looks really cool man! It only took you 2 days to make those first maps? I gotta say, thats impressive for the detail I see in the map, especially since this is in goldsrc!

Looks good, following it now.

[teknost]

Based from the map c17_04.




I'm thinking of ending the city chapter without the industrial zone. I have already 6 maps made for it, I think it's enough for a pre-gunplay chapter.

One thing, the industrial zone will be cut out. Perhaps I can recycle that later, who knows.

This is so great!

Amazingly these two screenshots look almost like a painting. Especially the first one. The colours - not washed out or darkened like many beta mods do, but also not too popping out of the scree.

The... distinctiveness of colours, they don't merge together, the buildings stand out from the sky, the blue of the car also stands out, this creates awesome impression almost like it's a a drawing on a paper card. It's like I'm holding a card from 1950s with a drawing of a street scene.

This is awesome looking.

Maps should always come first but I'm sure you can find people in the community to do custom NPC's and voice acting if you don't have that skill in your belt.

Yeah, the fact I'm mapping so fast is because I'm only doing the main level geometry and a little bit of scripted events.

I'll release source maps too, so if people want to give it a shot, they can freely edit my maps with their own ideas on it.

Of course, I'll my mod will have NPCs obviously. But the Combine will be just reskinned hgrunts and the citizens the scientist.

Maps are first priority for now.

Looks amazing! I really like the atmosphere.
