April 2017 General Chat
published: 2017

Hello April, where have you been all my life?

I plan to map a bit this month, and I might focus on corridors and doors. I’ll add a few maps and mods, plus a few streams. Who knows, maybe even a WHAT THE HEADCRAB! episode.

I’m going away for a long weekend on the 5th until 9th, so there won’t be any updates on the site until after that.

I’ll be talking about a book I read in a comment, when I get back from holiday called Armour by John Steakley – I FREAKING loved it.

What about you? What plans or aims do you have for April?

Beach Party

for Half-Life


published: 2015

7 DAYS AFTER RESONANCE CASCADE
“Gordon Freeman and two fellow scientists, James Walker and Robert Bond, took it upon themselves to mount a daring attack against a beachside military base, in order to secure a safe route to escape from Black Mesa.

They were planning to lead a team of security guard survivors on a silent takeover, but the base personnel was somehow alerted of their planned attack by an unknown individual.

On that fateful day, Gordon and his troops set out towards the beach in their flimsy transports, unaware that the military has prepared some nasty surprises for them…”

Half-Life 2: Sandtraps
published: 2013

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

This is the eighth chapter of Half-Life 2. It details the second half of Gordon Freeman’s journey to Nova Prospekt.

After crossing through the last part of the coast without the Scout Car, he encounters the first Antlion Guard of the game.

After defeating the Antlion Guard, a Vortigaunt extracts a pheropod from the body, which allows Gordon to control antlions, and trains Gordon in its usage. Gordon then continues along the coast, leading groups of antlions and battling Nova Prospekt guards on his way into the prison.

NewBlackMesaVille

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

The NewBlackMesaVille theme was pretty simple: Create a map with the feel of Black Mesa but try to make it seem new with new textures or just interesting layout.

This map was the only entry into the NewBlackMesaVille mapping competition. A few others promised to send entries, but circumstance got in the way. They all promised to release their work at some point in the future.

I have included more screenshots than I would normally for a map this size, because I took a good look around and wanted to record all the intersting points.

Be warned, there is no “actual” combat.

VR Shotgun Battle

You play in an untextured room, with shelves in the middle and other paraphernalia around the room.

Seemingly randomly Combine soldiers appear and your objective is to kill them for as long as possible

Boathouse

for Half-Life 2


published: 2005

About Author’s Note: “Hello, I’m known as Starbug on most forums, and THIS is the first map I’ve made for Half life 2, rather unimaginatively named “boathouse”, and most definitely belongs in the single player section smile.” What the Hell makes this map different from all the other Combine vs Rebel maps? An almost completely… Read More

Enemy Interrogation
published: 2004

Introduction I had this idea while playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein. There were certain places that you could listen to two soldiers or officers talking. The information was occasionally useful and I thought that if you could capture and interrogate a soldier he may give you extra information.
