DoorVille is the first in a series of 6 mapping competitions lasting ten days each. The objective was to select ANY locked door from HL2, Ep1 or Ep2 and give the player a chance to find out what’s behind it.

Locked doors are a very important part of all Half-Life games. They control the player’s flow through a level.

Sometimes they tease you with a glimpse behind some glass, other times you hear sounds, but in all cases they are telling you “You are not wanted here!”

Well, now that is changed. Dare you find out what’s behind the door?

A series of short missions, each with its own gameplay style.

A tactical assault, a box-moving puzzle area, a parachute drop, another tactical assault and finally an arena-style mission.

It’s tough, so be prepared for a difficult 30 minutes of playing.

Caught in some sort of temporal and dimensional gateway, you must use logic and care to escape.

What seems obvious at first may not be what you think it is.

Your world is about to get turned upside down and inside out!

Well, here it is. The entries from the CrossbowVille mapping Competition.

The objective was to create an interesting release that used the Crossbow as the main weapon.

The mod contains 3 entries, with varying styles.

I would like to thank the competition’s sponsors; SteamContests.Com and Tt Esports.com and of course, the modders who entered.

Enjoy!

You find yourself in a barn, with the objective of getting some Combine plans and then getting back again. “Easy in, Easy out”, as people like to say. But of course, it’s never that way. “Difficult In, even more difficult out”.

Good luck and be sure to really explore, you may find some hidden weapon caches!

Blue Portals is a modification of Valve’s Portal that puts the logic and thinking back into Portal.

You play the role of John Sprucecape. Apparently, a “once a successful professor of philosophy, but now a violent unemployed middle-aged man with an alcohol addiction”.

You wake up to find yourself locked in the house and your family gone. Go look for them! Of course Life has a way of throwing stuff in your way, as I am sure you expected.

Starting on what seems to be some form of artificial island, you need to keep working your way through the complex until a pod comes to rescue you.

You go deeper and deeper into the complex until one final battle. Can you survive?

A collection of maps that have been put together and released in one pack.

Fight your way through some industrial, Ravenholm, and prison areas until you reach the “END”.

Starting out in some form of storage or industrial area, you need to make you way to the central shaft.

There, you may be able to effect your escape.

Imagine this: A warehouse over flowing with crates, but not just ordinary crates, oh no! Crates that have different attributes, floating, burning, exploding etc.

The question is do you have the necessary patience and skill to destroy all the crates. Oh, did I mention there is over 1000 crates. Good luck!

There doesn’t seem to be a story but the objective is fairly clear. Get the HEV suit, find more batteries and use the elevator.

There are two puzzles and plenty of action, which should leave you wanting more.
