I saw Truna posted about this in the IGDA Brisbane Chapter forum, and I thought it was more than worth a posting here! Travis Draper has made the news on the Global Gaming League website with a Halife Life 2 mod which he created himself...
"Travis Draper loves Half-Life 2. But when it came to the story, the 21-year-old Australian store clerk felt there were a few unanswered question...So Travis decided to create a side-story to let the player experience his interpretation of what happened before Ravenholm was shelled.
The result is Wivenhoe: The Fall Of Ravenholm, one of the hottest single-player Half-Life 2 mods to surface over the past while.
Created solely by Travis, this mod lets players step into the combat boots of a futuristic solider to participate in an attempt to stop the uprising that flattened the town of Ravenholm."
It's a nice article on the ideas and challenges that Travis faced, which involved some of the tools and ideas he had for the mod. An interestinf read!
I had the pleasure of playing this mod for HalfLife 2. Well done Travis.
