We Don't Go To Ravenholm
- Game: Half-Life 2
- Map Name: HL2_Odyssey_M3_WeDontGoToRavenholm

Description & Background This map is a part of the HL2-TGA-Project where I am one of the level designers. My level takes place right after Gordon Freeman is separated from Alyx during the Combine's attack on Black Mesa East and is forced to travel through Ravenholm. Armed with his newly acquired Gravity Gun and an assortment of weapons, Gordon traverses the desolate, Zombie-infested town, all-the-while utilizing bizarre traps. While fighting off hordes of Zombies, Gordon meets the last known human occupant of Ravenholm, Father Grigori. Grigori provides some assistance and advice to Gordon, such as arming him with a shotgun, and eventually leading him to an abandoned mine to escape the town.
Role in the campaign Chronology-wise my level is in the early parts of the game, yet enough far in to present some real challenge to the player. As I am introducing the Gravity Gun for the player it is important that there is playroom for the player to explore the different ways it can be used. Together with the dark aesthetics I want to create a feeling that the player is left to his own devices and in a heap of trouble. Together with the other level designers in the project, and the narrative leads, I take the mantra 'We don't go to Ravenholm' as key words that will lead the development of my level.Alpha build Here's the first build of my map and I'd be very thankful if you could give me a go and say what you think about it.
