looks pretty good :slight_smile:

Jingles, do you play Quake live?

#123

No, why? What makes you think that? Also, what is Quake? I know its a game but that’s it.

#124

OK people,

Can we not Hijack the thread, and please google things before asking stupid questions, Jingles.

If anyone else has any little ideas, please post them here or on our forums.

Thanks,
Shaktal

I understand how asking what Quake is is a stupid question, but I still wonder what he meant when he asked if I play Quake Live.

Enough of that though, who has ideas for the homeworld then?

#126

The player has glimpses of the combine homeworld in hl2, through the portal on the cidadel’s top. At least you guys have that as a starting point. Looks like a huge desert with lots of cidadels under a red sky… Maybe you could make tribute to hl1 with some “surface tension”? Fights against grunts on canions and dunes like in the outter area of black mesa would be nice. You could spawn the player in an uninhabited zone of the planet, forcing him to travel to a nearby cidadel while facing whatever form of wildlive creature he finds on his path.

Hello,

That is set 12-15 years ahead of our mod, in 15 years the Human race manages to advance in their technology exponentially, the combine, who have a far larger empire and are much more technologically advanced will advance much more in that small period of time, so that may not even be to come in this mod, but it has been brought up before, and we are considering it.

We are also considering the danger posed by local wildlife and hazardous terrain on the combine home world.

Don’t worry, we are constantly refining our ideas and making sure that they fit with canon. Any more ideas or issues will be welcome. Please post!

Thanks you,
Shaktal

Actually, you can’t see the ground. The attached image shows everything that is on the other side of the portal.

The text on that website is a little hard to read at times.

#130

Yeah, the Citadel structure is all you can see through the portal, and the sky.

But we will think of the best way to design the place.

Hello all,

Adam has now improved the ModDB page, if you’d like to give any feedback here or on the modDB page please do.

Thanks,
Shaktal

#132

Okay, we now have a html site up here

#133

Looking good.

I would like to see some in-game media though.

#134

It will be a bit of a while before we get some official media.

#135

True, it will be a while before we get some solid media up, but the Concept Art shouldn’t take too long. Then we will have some actual media.

And Jingles, the HTML site I made is just a prototype, not to be released yet, I’m getting feedback on it at the moment. But seeing as it’s too late for that, if anyone has any comments please post them here. :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Shaktal

#136

Oh, sorry mate,I never realised, it would still be good to get more feedback on it though.

#137

Quake Live is a free online deathmatch game. It’s a port of Quake 3 that plays in your browser.

I thought you played because I often see a player with the screen name JINGLES when I am playing Quake live.

#138

Oh okay, there are quite a few Jingles then. :stuck_out_tongue:

#139

I do talk to myself when i was alone. A little bit mental sickness isn’t?

#140

Seems pretty kewl, but the problem with mods like this and that is that nobody except the mods and all people they want to know, knows the exact release date, and the date can be so distant in the future, that Half-Life 2 may not be so meaningful to my nerdy life that I’d be interested in playing it anymore :stuck_out_tongue: but I wish you good luck with the mod and hope it’ll be released soon :freeman:
