    So, you probably saw that thing about some toy being stolen from some toy fair.

    Forgive the condescending “some” but I really don’t think it’s news.

    “Prisoner is a set of maps for the game Half Life. Unlike most custom Half Life levels, Prisoner does not feature new weapons, monsters, or gameplay elements.

    In fact, Prisoner does not feature any weapons, monsters, or gameplay of any kind. Prisoner is a small art project about virtual space and first person perspective.

  • Text Interview with Operation Black Mesa and Guard Duty team

    · Read, Text Interviews · 4 Replies

    Well, here’s an interesting interview I just had with the guys working on Operation Black Mesa and Guard Duty.

    There’s an announcement at the beginning, along with a couple of exclusive screenshots, one piece of concept art and a wallpaper.

    I am sure the guys will be dropping by, so if you have any questions for them, just ask, although I can’t guarantee they will answer them.

    “Your goal is to open the main door, by finding 4 numbers to the door code.

    You can obtain this numbers by winning in 4 games. You can also guess all numbers just by rotating the wheels (but this is very unlikely). For now the door code is fixed, that’s mean is not random and it’s always the same.

    After you beat the map for the first time, you know the code. My next step is to implement random generated code for the door.

    There is no story. Just do whatever you want to do and have fun. Try everything in gameroom.”

    My first thought after I heard “Dear Esther” had recouped its investment in the initial 6 hours after release was “so what? Bully for them”.

    Not that I don’t wish the authors success – I do. I’m certainly not a fan of mods that turn retail mid development but that doesn’t mean I want them to fail. If there are enough potential buyers then that’s great.

    I sat down with Tero a few days ago and we recorded this fairly impromptu interview.

    We talk about his most recent release, Last Zombie and then move onto his previous release Water.

    Apologies for my constant “uming” and “ering” and for Tero’s mic noise.

    I hope you enjoy the interview.

    Water is a third person puzzle solving adventure type of game with an unique look and gameplay.

    It’s a story about a mermaid, and fish men who aren’t fish men. A story that brings you into tears and fears.

    It’s about fish people, harp instruments, swimming, and crazy priests.

    A very short and basic map, where you need to escape from the garage.

    It’s sparsely detailed and requires one or two tricky jumps.

    Can you reach the light?

    “Last Zombie is a third person adventure horror game taking place in the Half-Life 2 Universe. It tells the tragic tale of a man named Paul, who is haunted by the past and emotions he has forgotten about since the Combine took over.

    Life outside City 17 is dangerous, but with the chemically altered water and the Suppression Field, and the bullying of the Civil Protection force life is soon without meaning.

    Can Paul find what was lost to him? Can he find a way to be a human again? “
