Then you better not watch this one

Really like the height differences you guys have going on. Keep it up!

HL2 gunplay is pretty crap, but not something that can't be improved. All it takes is a good animator to give the weapons some kick. Are you guys familiar with MrBrightside's project to remodel and animate the weapons? He's working for NWI and has been at it for a few years though.

As for AI, that's trickier. I wouldn't mind something like in the new DOOM, but at this point, modders should work with what they have to their advantage. There's this commentary bubble in episode 1 where one of the level designers mentions that they added a secondary path during an encounter to give the combine AI some options to work with - either flank the player or charge right at him. That's just one example and probably not the best of how a level designer can be a bit more thoughtful of the AI's behaviours, but I'm sure there are clever ways to trick the player into thinking the AI is smarter than it actually is.

I can't say that I'm a fan of VR, but I feel like at this point Valve could make another half-life title without introducing something new. There's so many things they could improve on from previous games, like the gunplay and AI.

Also, part of the reason why I'm more confident with Boreal Alyph is because those guys can already work on the actual levels and gameplay. Plus the fact that their graphic standards are relative to 2008-2012 makes it a lot faster to create content. Whereas the team working on UE4 has to build every single thing that already exists in HL2 from the zero basically. That's just so time consuming. Look at Black Mesa.

My money is on Boreal Alyph

Looks like we don't have any sci-fi aficionados around these parts.

Started to do the first art pass recently. Probably won't post for a while, until that first coat of paint dries.

Decided to check this out and see what the fuss is about. Oh man, the atmosphere is great. I liked the horror start and overall aliens influences. Some battles are indeed pretty tedious, but it's a great experience all in all. Interesting way of connecting the story to the canon

I like the aesthetic. Keep it up!

Need mor hint @+Rusty+

SnapMap was an interesting attempt at offering an editor and a distribution platform, but it was ultimately just too limited. Quite garbage when you compare it to a proper editor. QC wouldn't probably have to do anything with that as it's not running on idtech, but on sabretech engine. Maybe @BJA can clarify on that.

It gives me terrible mapper-frustration though, so I might stop playing it until there's some sort of serious comment from the devs on custom content. I guess I'm a spoiled PC gamer, but a game without an editor just seems like half a product to me, and less worth investing my time in.

Tried it during the first waves of beta invites and several months after that. The game took 5 minutes to start and connect/disconnect from servers every time a map changed. It ran smooth, but It was insane to wait every time so I stopped playing.

I'm with you on the level editor and modding in general. I absolutely dislike the lack of support from companies/developers when it comes to creating content for their games.

Give us a hint @mryeah

I was trying out the new mp5 and figured I should post something from the last build

Yep, don't forget to post something @mryeah

Don't mind if I do

@blackdog Yep. Don't forget to post your image

Nope, but here's a hint: Ben Stiller plays in it.

Yeah, I saw that when it was originally posted and the video was still up. Pretty cool that some of those ideas made it to American Nightmare.
