    Whoopservatory for Half-Life 2:Episode 2

    Setup:

    Dr.Magnusson has been conducting a personal project in an old observatory.

    After an unfortunate outbreak of Zombie-itis the lab had to be quickly evacuated.

    You must go in and wreck up the place before it falls into the wrong hands!!

    about:

    This is a map I mainly made to showcase the player cloning gameplay mechanic.

    The idea is that you record your actions, then a clone repeats these actions which helps you navigate through rooms. Of course, there's still some combat involved to keep things interesting

    I wrote some stuff about the scripting here, in case you want to see how it's done.

    That sounds really cool and the fact that you did this without any programming gives me a boner, too. :embarrassed:

    Very fun, the gameplay mechanics were great. But there wasn't enough of it!

    superb mapping & attention to detail, would liked to have had more recorder puzzles though.

    looking at the blog post on your i/o work & use of scripted sequences, i'm rusty on source mapping but would it be possible instead to spawn path tracks at the player position on a timer (eg at 0.5s intervals), using the point_template name fixup to order them sequentially (or a logic_case with prenamed entities), & then send a tracktrain along the path? that way you could play the recorded position backwards & forwards smoothly, plus alter playback speed as you would with cached data.

    Lovely stuff... but as with the mission improbables, I think you need a more substantial ending. I'm never left satisfied...

    Just finished, great work . Just about the perfect length- good story, combats, and puzzles. I thought the architecture and the scale were dead on. The architecture fit in well with the universe but also brought something new, even if it was just one location.

    If I were to have any complaints, I might say there was one spot where I was looking out the window down at the trees just outside and it seemed like they were floating, but that could have just been a coincidence of the fog distance or the angle I was viewing from.

    :monkey:

    Just curious insta, did you had beta-testers before releasing this, or it's 100% a one man army thingie?
