A WIP HL2:EP2 project

The project I’m talking about has spawned out of an inspiration some time ago when I revisited the first Matrix movie. I kinda liked the scene where Neo is awakened in a human farm that powers the intelligent machines.

Based on this idea, I’ve set to create a similar scene using the Source SDK. Unfortunately, lacking the experience to create new models and good-looking props, I bended a lot the concept. In the end I used lots of cloned Alyx NPCs which use their EMP gun for harvesting energy. Well, it’s a bit odd. I wrap the story around my mapping ideas mostly, and maybe a cool sequence of events will unfold in the scenario.

In the video you can see WIP area of the map, but this is already a bit old as I’ve changed some lighting and had to discard some Alyx NPCs because Source is an old game engine and it behaves erratically with so many I/O’s.
