Halloween Media Update

[CrazyHarij]

The team behind the spooky modification Halloween has released some new media:

"We've got a few new media updates. The first is an ad for Rocket Frog candy. The Rocket Frog candy is the food/energy source you will need to obtain to increase your health, shield, and to achieve a sugar high.[br]</br>
The second images are from the first rough of the neighborhood map."

Interesting story, this is what I have read on their site

"...I knew I had to follow this guy and stop him. as soon as I caught up to him he leaped into a portal; should I jump in and follow? He still had my girlfriend, and she still owes me 20 bucks...)

The gameplay sounds cool too.

Looks.. Interesting! :O

WTF is up with all the houses looking exactly the same?

 

[Chav]

Looks nice exept the houses are all exact the same, they should bring in more diversity in the houses.

Why does the wrapper have to be in Japanese/Chinese? Why not add some comedy to the wrapper in English?

They are called placeholders, buddy.

"first rough of the neighborhood map"

Well anyway, I believe this is one of those news posts that will get deleted due to lack of good content... But I may be wrong, because there is some good stuff.

It's a close call.

Yes its a rough, I made those houses the same just to get some measurement standards down. I sent a 10mb house design package to my 3 other mappers that contains the standards template as well as over 100 house blueprints and renders to use as references. The final map should have between 50-60 houses, as the street layout on the standards map has dictated.

Yeah, it's Japanese, but most of it is in Katakana, which means that it IS english, just said with symbols, and it actually reads like engrish.

I might try to decifer it, but I've got a lot to do today.

If you guys pulls that off, I will be very impressed. I look forward to hearing more about it.

 

[swiss_cheese9797]

Thanks man, We will be working very hard on this project, and what I have visualized for the conception of the mod, I think we will have a very successful final result. BTW thats not really Japanese, thats just a Japanese font I used with random phrases to make it look Japanese (ie: the top part reads "you will die"). The final product will be less cheesy looking and will have some funny Engrish. Later

 

[bigdeezy23]

Those pumpkins are huge. Not to insult or praise the screenshots, just wanted to point that out.

 

[RaBiD WeAzEL]

They symbols are actually Japanese, they just don't seem to make any sense, sentence structural-wise.

I'm in Japanese 1, and can pronounce all that you have on there, but... I don't know what most of it means...

Roketo Kaeru

That's Rocket Frog in Japanese...

Here are the actual symbols for it.

 

[joule]

Is this mod a joke?

 

[Dodo]

ctrl+c ctrl+v

 

[swiss_cheese9797]

Hey thanks for the symbols man. I'll definately use those symbols on the final product. and yeah those pumpkins are huge, but that jack-o-lantern is just going to be in the menu map and its a prop_dynamic. When we make the prop_physics pumpkins they will be properly sized.

Question for the halflifel2.net community, how many of you have played the half-life1 versions I released in 2001 and 2002? Later.

 

[toekneebullard]

Actually, all the houses being the same, and the ground being flat make for a very accurate representation of 95% of Florida suburbs.

 

[DoctorWeeTodd]

They're called suburbs.

 

[Vegeta897]

Would you guys read the damn thread before you post stupid questions! Argh!

Sounds impressive, SwissCheese9797

 

[tba]

Is this mod a joke?

no its a sequel...

 

[Insano]

The line on the wrapper should go like this: "The energy you need to administer the smackdown!"

 

[swiss_cheese9797]

cud be good to put that in engrish too: "Energy body you need administer great smackdown!" Thanx vegeta.

 

[Asknoone]

Looks good

 

[mrxskinny]

Are there going to be new car models? I'm tired of seeing the same broke down cars in every HL2 mod I play.

 

[swiss_cheese9797]

ofcourse. We will be making car models for the game, including a police cruiser. We will be using some of hl2 models such as the street lamps since it wouldn't be smart to model one if a very good street lamp model already exists. But most of our props will be original.

 

[BlackDahlia]

Ohh. This looks like fun ^_^

 

[TrippyG]

trick or treat!
nice idea

I am sorry, but I didn't post this because it didn't seem like there was enough valuable information to be considered a worthy news post. Halloween doesn't appear to be anything favorable at this moment in time. Hopefully they will release better/more exciting renders and screenshots.

Your posts lack the most content around here, buddy.

Yeah, keep in mind this mod has got a long deadline so I think we'll eventually begin to see some pretty hefty stuff.
