HalfLifeLoop

November Build - Delayed :(

Hello people, the demo build for November got delayed, sorry :( Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to work on the project lately, the next update will have the HECU, the Bullsquids, some NPCs, and some levels/rooms that are going to demonstrate the progression of a playthrough.

It's not all bad news, I came up with a way to add Local Co-Op that works on any level / mode, I'll be talking more about the Co-op later.

Info about the next build!

Thank you for all your support and welcome to all the new patrons!  I will be working hard to have a new demo for the end of the month with the HECU soldiers and more rooms to showcase the core loop of the game.

Also.. a little sneak peek at some of the skins/outfits that will be featured in the game.

Houndeye Test

Half-Life: Loop - Development Gameplay Preview #3

A new demo build showing the current state of the BSP support. Also, all Half-Life base weapons are done! There are still some tweaks to do but they are very functional.

Having BSP support not only means custom rooms/maps, but it will also give me the freedom to make the rooms/maps outside of Unity and using a true level editor.

Shotgun

I modified the original shotgun model to make it look like the first person model.

So gorgeous...

If you are a fan of Half-Life you know what I'm talking about.

Half-Life: Loop - Hivehand | Mini Update

The Hivehand, also called the Hornet Gun, is a weapon capable of shooting homing hornets which chase targets.

Half-Life: Loop - Snarks | Mini Update

Snarks done!  This one was a little bit difficult to implement.

Can you pet the Snark? YES

Working on the snarks!

The design is a mix between Half-Life 1 and Half-Life: Alyx

Half-Life: Loop - BSP Import Test

Thanks to the help of a TOP LEVEL programmer, I was able to import BSP maps almost flawlessly. In this video I loaded a modified version of c1a0 slightly adapted for the camera of the game, this is only a test and does not represent the final quality of the game.

I'm going to be making all the levels in the "old fashion" way so this is great news for the game!

The game will also support custom Runs w...

New Update Release Date

I will be releasing a new major update with a new playable build Tuesday!

Colored suits

HUD Mockup

Mockup of the possible HUD for Loop. I wanted to do something close to the HL2 hud because is more "flat" so is easy to work with larger resolutions, also I like the panels, they provide better visibility.  

I wanted to implement a radial weapon selector because they are more gamepad-friendly, also I think is faster to select the weapons that way in general.

Gordon Freeman - Model Comparison

A comparison between the original Gordon Freeman (player.mdl) model and Loop's version.

Definitive version of Gordon Freeman for Half-Life: Loop

Gluon Gun

The Gluon Gun turned out very well! It's very satisfying to use.

Extra gif showing a Zombie as an Ally.

I'm thinking about implementing the chumtoad as some type of Pheropod (Bugbait) that works with the more primitive creatures.

Impact effects

Trying to replicate Half-Life impact effects, I think it feels like Half-Life

More detailed default wall chargers

Swim time!

I tried to recreate as close as possible the water shader from Half-Life and the player animations.

The physics are not the same, you can't dive because there's no need of doing that in this type of gameplay.

Long Jump Module (Preview Video)

There's not any sound effect in the game yet.

Long Jump Module

I reworked the long jump module to make it more fitting for platforming, so now it works like a double jump but only with forward acceleration

Push Mechanic

We all remember the horrible push mechanics in Half-Life, most of the time the boxes flew out when pushed..

So.. I created a grab/push system with IK and 360 moving animations to fix that, now you can push things like a normal human being :P

GoldScr "vibe"

I'm making some experiments to try to maintain the GoldScr "vibe" so... I will be working on "WORLDCRAFT" to create the rooms and props for the game and then convert them to be used in Unity.
