A mod that branches the story from the ending of Half-Life 1.

Actually I think it does, especially for certain types of mods. I’m not sure how much fun dark, scary mods would be at 10:00am in the mornign. Even if you had the curtain closed, the ambient noise and your state of mind all play a part.

The Outbreak Series is a number of episodic modifications. Based on the events of the Raccoon City zombie outbreak, each episode will tell the story of an ordinary man or women and what they did during the downfall of Raccoon City. The Outbreak Series will include: Single Player short games. Featuring classic Resident Evil objects and story related elements.

“In this mod you play as part of the Combine. Your objective is to defend City 3 from the hoards of Zombies and rebels. You start under the city and work your way to the surface, from there you move onto Ravenholm and then you acquire a vehicle and travel through the sandtraps. Onto Nova Prospekt and back to the city again. Your final act of defensive is the sacrifice of the Citadel City itself – You must destroy it rather than let the Zombies and rebels take control.”

“I have decided to release a little alpha version of Night Terror to the Half-Life community.”

We don’t need to learn how to play games. This particular activity is natural. We do need to learn the mechanics and rules of each particular game to excel in it. The basic concept of “play” is inbuilt in all of us. For others the concept of creativity is also in built. However, unlike playing games, creating games is a little harder.

A mod based on a real location in the United Kingdom, in fact it’s a supermarket!

I feel that there is an opportunity for the community to sell the best creations to other players via Steam. There are many issues that would need to be organized but let’s keep this discussion to the concept itself.

Combine forces are in the process of constructing a huge robot in an abandoned government fallout shelter outside City 17. The robot, codenamed “Das Roboss”, is the most destructive Combine creation yet. It makes Striders look like daddy long-legs.
