Mini Half Life series- Gina

[Yuri]

So I want to make a short series of maps that are Half Life related. And I got the idea, what about Gina? (The Hazard Course woman) She obviously did some interesting stuff and you can see her here and there throughout Opposing Force and Blue Shift. So, I have to ask, has it been done?

If it hasn't, I plan on making a short series of maps (3-5 or so) where you play as Gina on the day of the accident. It would be complete with the beginning train sequence, original Lab style from Half Life, and peeps at other things that occured during the original game. (Like security cameras showing Gordan and such.) You would have to fight your way out, and it would have some sort of suprise ending.

So, I want to ask you... would any of you play this? Also, please give me ideas, suggestions and feedback on what you think I should do.

I plan on using the original textures from the game, but if a 2D artist would like to help, I would certainly love it. (I both hate and suck at making textures. ) I am doing this map to perfect my lighting-- something that I think HL1 was great at. Don't expect something like Half Life: Submerged though, I don't think I'm quite that good yet. ;-)

So, please, give me ideas for the storyline, where she should see Gordan and maybe some Shephard, too, and other feedback. Thanks.

Oh please won't someone respond?!?

I am the impatient one. Bleh.

hm, I dunno if it has been done before or not, but it sounds like a good concept (playing the role of Gina).. I think it should be expanded further though. If its good I'd rather play a lengthy game than a short one, and it just seems like you could do alot with the character... Perhaps you could make her task go into xen first before Gorden since we see hev suits there, and that could lead to some big story inside xen (could become a hit for those who like xen) .. and if it is done in HL2's Source, you could improve xen and make it really nice.. perhaps Gina could be the one who frees the vortigaunts or something..

I planned on getting a bunch of people's ideas for making a huge story, and then mapping part of the story (pretty much like a single chapter in HL1). It would be followed up with a "To be continued..." and if people liked it, I could make sequels and prequels. Or maybe others could make these, too.

So, please heeelpp! I'll give you a cookie. I'd do it myself but I like the idea of incorporating many people's ideas into a single project.

I could do it in HL2, but I plan on making this now. And if its popular, maybe I'll make one for HL2, as well!

Actually, we found out that Gina was the one of the stars of Half Life: Decay, and her story was kinda told there... and this thread was the start of the new project I'm starting! Gina won't be in it, but lots of other HL characters will (well, she maay make a guest appearance...)

whats half-life decay and where can I get it

 

[Yuri]

Half Life: Decay was a special feature from the PS2 version of Half Life. It has co-op missions. Never played it, though.

and you should ask people about their ideas about new experimental weapons (i dont got any but it would be cool)
