Something gloomy for October. #source #halflife #modding #indiedev #gamedev

prequels on opposite day:

first go at a flying npc in unreal, it's not so bad... though it is functionally a manhack

Digitally-colored pencil portrait of Frankie from Knights of Guinevere, lying on her back all messed up and slightly bloodied, bathed in orange light of fire. A miniature original screenshot is in the top left corner.

TLG Update: The first round of playtesting is complete and it's gone very well. After the dev team has fixed a few things it'll be on to round two, and after that we're ready to release!

H λ L F - L I F E: Event Horizon mod for Half-Life 2 The Seven Hour War, the world's most devastating and destructive war. The one that resulted in the slavery of mankind, and the downfall of our civilization. We honor all those who fought in that epic ...

20 years ago, before making a name for myself in the Half-Life community as "Where's The Core!?" I bought into an ideas-guy's pitch and joined a Source modding team as a texture artist

The ModDB page is still up but none of my work was shown before the team dissolved

A terribly overexposed phone photo of a group of tents at the edge of a forest. Someone's single leg is sticking out of a beige tent covered with a green tarp

Textured tent for Dark Interval (mesh by Cvoxalury). Closely modelled after soviet tents occasionally used in student expeditions, though we'd usually add extra tarps on top for waterproofing.

Full version...IN COLOUR.

Snippet from a short Dalek animation project to get more familiar with Blender's animations. Aiming for an authentic 1960s experience, especially with certain camera movements.

The .BSP with No Name

Bird poop decals intended by the developers of Lost Coast, viewed in editor. The entities are too far from the rock to apply to it.

The fixed bird poop viewed in the game. The entities were moved to the right spot and given proper class and inputs to work.

HL2 Lost Coast Trivia.

A rock near the ship wreck was intended to have seagull poop splattered over it. Except, it was moved during development. The decals ended up being too far from it, & they use the wrong class (work only on brushes).

Not to worry: just shy of 20 years later, I fixed it all.

HL2 Lost Coast Trivia

Those who pay extreme attention may notice that each time you start Lost Coast, a board falls from the sky and splashes near the Fisherman.

This is because on spawn, one of the boards on Helicopter arena clips into scaffolding collisions and gets forced out by the physics.

Having fun with the movement system whilst filming the Act I trailer for TLG.

Cruel Summer news - The Last Goodbye mod for Half-Life A quick check-in to sum up how far things have come since March.

www.moddb.com/mods/the-las... New article is up for TLG! It covers things that have been going on since March and some good news for the near-future.

A new look for Alyx, based on her beta design if the beta was an '80s glam rock cyberpunk extravaganza

Looks like that random rebel settled a blood debt with the Strider

HL2 EP2 nonsense:

Sifting through the code, came across command "striderbuster_allow_all_damage 0". It prevents anyone but player from detonating Magnusson Devices.

"Sweet", I thought, "I'll just switch it on and let rebels blow up Striders w/ bombs."

Well it works. But it also blows up the game.

Big TLG update - subtitles are finally in!

3 pumpkins at the entrance to the barn on the abandoned farm in Episode Two.

More pumpkins next to a crashed truck on the road connecting the White Forest Inn to White Forest base. There are 4 pumpkins total, only 3 are visible in the picture.

HL2 EP2 Trivia: The Pumpkin Trail

Ep2 adds pumpkins. The first 3 can be found at the farm before the Advisor. There're dead rebels; stands to reason they visited/used the farm. Station 21 isn't very far.

Next 4 are after White Forest Inn, on the road to WF Base. The inn also was used by rebels.

My first foray into making character models for Source, a new look for Half-Life 2's Judith Mossman based on her pre-release predecessor Elena Mossman. Rigging the hair wasn't fun...

The unused animation "lamarr_space" has her floating motionlessly.

The script that rolls the credits on the pre-release version of ep2_outland_12a also calles for a "viewcontrol.lamarr" 3 seconds before rolling the credits. The viewcontrol entity itself is not found on this map.

HL2 EP2 Trivia:

It's been known since 2007 that Ep2 Lamarr has an unused animation "lamarr_space" where she's floating.

Only now I found out the pre-release version of Ep2's last level, from March 2007, calls for a Lamarr camera entity before rolling credits. The entity, however, is missing.

Portrait of Anni-Elin Lund from the book "Sacred and Terrible Air". The girl is wearing a white t-shirt and a blue skirt, her loose blonde hair is hanging in the air, she is staring into distance with mydriatic pupils, where tiny red sparks can be seen. She is surrounded by stars. The stars are linked by stitched-up bloody cuts, and the entire image has a layer of bruises and grime.

There's a hole in history that holds it all together
