First look

Right just jumping straight into things, I’m Stewart Parry, 19 years old from Ross-on-Wye, in southern England. I study computer games design at Staffordshire University, and I’ve working on a couple of projects during the Summer. These are two single player Half-Life 2 modifications called HL2:Subvertus, a team created mod, based on the frozen wastelands of Europe, and another single player mod, which I am working on as a solo project dubbed HL2: Anakata.

A link to the website for Subvertus can be found here.

Currently I am concentrating on my solo project while more jobs can be found for me at Subvertus ^_^

Ok, so to explain my mod a bit. HL2 : Anakata

Firstly I will explain the name in due time. The mod is based in the Half-Life 2 universe, but it is set in a city of England, and borrows architecture and scenery from all over the country. Like Half-Life 2 there looms a massive structure overhead, instead of the single tower of the citadel in City 17, there is a double towered massive teleport, that the Combine War effort is using to bring in aircraft, vehicles and troops from the combine homeworld. Joining forces with the British resistance fighters and reinforcements from the liberated city 17, you must destroy this menacing structure to stop the combine from bringing any more reinforcements themselves.

The name

Because of the large amounts of teleport technology in the game, I decided to name it something to do with teleportation and other dimensions. Looking through Wikipedea, I found two words Ana, and Kata, which are essentially like up and down, left and right, or forward and back, but in the fourth dimension.

Ok well that is it for the story and stuff, I will be adding two weapons to the mod, and keeping every weapon apart from the crowbar, as that is only to be used by Gordon Freeman, and no other. So the new meleé weapon will be a large adjustable spanner, and the other weapon to be added will be a Silenced G36C, used by the Brittish army at the moment, or in the near future, which explains it’s presence in Britain.

Well that’s it pretty much for the first post and intro into my silly little existance. Next post will have some pictures, I promise.
