  • CANVAS: Site launch of an upcoming Source Engine game

    After months of hard work, we here at Bloom are excited to officially announce the existence of our

    current project CANVAS. To go with this announcement, we have prepared a short press release to

    explain exactly what CANVAS is, and what you can expect to find when we release.

    To complement this announcement, we have also launched our official website (http://

    http://www.canvasgame.com/), on which you can find a slew of information about the mod, as well as

    screenshots, videos and wallpapers.

    We have also created a short teaser trailer introducing some of the characters and environments you

    will experience in-game, which can be found below.

    PRESS RELEASE

    INTRODUCTION

    CANVAS is a single-player total conversion modification for Half-Life 2: Episode 2. It hopes to provide a

    unique action/adventure experience based upon the versatile Source engine.

    SETTING

    In the world of CANVAS, psychics exist, and live openly alongside humans. Their existence has been

    noted throughout history, and while their powers are still feared by non-psychics, their culture has

    pervaded countries across the globe.

    Seeking to centralise their cultural heritage, groups of psychics banded together to build enormous

    underground galleries. In these galleries are housed the greatest works of 'psychic' art – paintings that

    allow the viewer to psychically enter the paintings, and experience the artist's intent first-hand. Run by

    an unusual being known as the Curator, the Acanthus gallery is by far the most prestigious of these

    institutions, housing the largest collection of psychic art and literature in the world.

    STORYLINE

    Milena Desmaris is unhappy in her life. Having been left with her father after her mother passed

    away, she found herself neglected as her father buried himself in his work. Her only true friend and

    companion, Borden, is a teddy bear brought to life with her psychic powers.

    However, when Milena's father seemingly goes missing, everything changes. Suddenly, Milena and

    Borden find themselves on an adventure, and while trying to find out what happened to her father, and

    why, they will explore locations and experience things beyond anything they could have imagined.

    KEY FEATURES

    Single-Player Campaign – Take Milena and Borden through a unique adventure as they investigate the

    disappearance of Milena's father.
