Mod features

Well, you all know a litlle bit of Half-Life and the numerous gameplay styles. We are not poping up with brilliant new amazing weapons and stuff. We are trying to get some reality to our levels and story (even though it is fictional :) . Our weapons would absolutelly behave like real ones. If u find a shotgun in some warehouse, don't just pick it up and shoot. It might be broken, empty off bullets, or even hide a trap for you to fell in.

We also thought of an improvement regarding singleplayer gameplay. Until it's finished and polished, remains classified :) what if we fail ?? so, let's not rush into conclusions too fast..

What you should know moreover is that Xen has a Gordon of it's self: ENO Aydan. But read the brief story bellow to get an idea about it...

and again, please be patient with us. we also don't like mods with coming soon pages, the only problem we have now is the hosting. after a proper hosting occures, the web site will also get its improvements. to the best, we hope.

The story...

Xendor...the heart of ancient civilization Xen, now opposing mankind out of despair. Nobody knows preciselly where Xendor layes now, an alien Atlantis, spring of half the known intelligent worlds....

But Eno knows. He landed earth two decades ago, and he was Gordon's shaddow and help. G-man berely knows about the existence of a Xendor defector among us. Despite his relations, G-man isn't but just a small piece in a huge mechanism. The link.

The first episode - the Black Mesa incident, was G-man's black project; the whole mess, the killings, questionable ethics Gordon had to deal with (those funny headcrabs and slaves) was a screenplay wearing G-man's signature. Why? Why was it so big, the effort? Was it just a training mission for Gordon or just a trap for Xendor agents? Was it something else, even more difficult to comprehend? What G-man knows? And why is it so important for him to push Gordon ahead, draw his path? Towards...where?

If G-man's official pupose is to find and eliminate any insiders, he should be carefull. He is not the only mole hunter. Xendor is too shaked by an unexpected defection. And Gordon's role - besides keeping himself and Alyx alive - is to lead the way. Cause he alone can redraw the puzzle and draw an end to this war....

Weapons are a bit more advanced now. They can support a lot more polygons than before.

A litlle trick - Gordon's shotgun and our room render. What do you think?

Bump mapping and professional modelling software for characters and maps... The dream of any gamedesigner worldwide.

Thanks to VALVe now each one of us can sit back and relax at home, designing his own vision upon the levels and heroes.

here is a small, basic room, made in 3dsmax within minutes.

Shadows and particle systems ingame. The SOURCE (HL2's engine) can manage this too.

and here, at left, is one of our heroes, standing on nice bumped wooden floor, casting shadow, just like in the game;

and here is one of our special AK49, explosive bullets, grenade launcher included (not in this render

Final note: as soon as we know much, we shall make some of you happy with some tutorials regarding bump-mapping and Havok systems :))
