Oooh oooh, it’s Barney and how he shifts to the dark work of being a civil protection officer.
I’d guess it was about Barney, that day he forgot his flashlight.
It’s a Shift thats fucking dark, what more do you need?
anyway, i agree it should have a new name…
Well, like I’ve said, it’s all an idea.
If you want to suggest some new names, go ahead.
Dark Shift was just something that came to me quickly.
The name isn’t important at this stage of development. You can always change it to something that’s more fitting of the storyline further down the path.
this is nothing to do with what he has written… did you get your name from watching Stargate Atlantis? :rolleyes:
How about ,Half Life:Catch me later I’ll buy you a beer?
I think “Civil Protection” would be a better name than Dark Shift, considering that’s a bit too much of a variation with Blue Shift.
Anyways, I want in. I’d be fully willing to write or at least co-write for it, and possibly do some voice acting. I’d think it would be a good time to start it when the teleport goes wrong, and you give Gordon his crowbar. Also, it would probably be a good idea for whoever is going to voice-act for Barney to re-do all the lines you hear in HL2, so he doesn’t have to work as hard to sound exactly like him.
I personally think it should take place after Blue Shift, the SUV escaped in crashed and Dr. Rosenburg is dead, but you are just outside a city (no, not city 17), and the combine invasion is starting, you fight and stuff, the combine take over, you get relocated to C17 and…thats all i can think of.
I always imagined there was at least a couple years difference between the Resonance Cascade and the Combine invasion.
What would make you think that?
Well, there’s nothing set in stone about the time between the Resonance Cascade and the Combine Invasion, so you can’t really do a mod based in the end of Blue Shift to, say, episode 1. That’d be a LONG game. I like the idea of Half-Life: Civil Protection
And Adam, I’d like to apply for a voice actor? And I believe you’ve already seen my work.
Responding to an old post.
HL1 is meant to lead into HL2. Gordon is put into stasis, and is basically asleep between hl1 and hl2.
I guess mods aren’t cannon though, so meh, could be a legit idea.
CBA to read all of this as I have my contacts out and I’m about to go to bed (just wanted to stay up long enough to post within the first few minutes of being unbanned) but I’d definitely be up for helping level design for this.
Oh hey, look who was wrong.
(welcome back)
As soon as I get my new HDD, I’ll talk to you guys, and hopefully we can do this. 
I don’t know, it’s just how I first imagined it and there’s been nothing to contradict it so it stuck.
Hm. I could see the current black mesa mod team creating expansions for Half-Life 2, such as Blue-shift and opposing force for half-life 1, but i can also see the black mesa mod team flipping the bird at the idea, the fucking the bird in its shitter.
For what its worth, I write a lot. Just stories and stuff that comes to me. No fan fiction or anything like that. Not that im against it, just never had anything come to me. Feel free to message me if you want.
