Half-Life 2D Creators Interviewed

Posted by simoniker on from the metal-headcrab dept.

Thanks to Gamers With Jobs for its interview with the creators of Half-Life 2D: Codename Gordon, a "Flash-made 2D shooter based on the Half-Life 2 footage that was shown so far", as previously mentioned on Slashdot Games. Dev team member Paul Kamma promises: "The game [will be released] before HL2", and a preview at City17.de has more information, including many screenshots of the multiple levels "inspired by the E3 [2003] videos."

    Wow, that looks awesome. Kind of like Metal Slug in a different setting. It's no CS, but this game is definitely going to suck down some of my hours when they get finished with it.

    they weren't really sequels, just ports of DN3D, sometimes with bonus weapons, levels, multiplayer, etc.

    But that DNF is a/the_real sequel isnt the point of the joke -- it's that they've been working on the game since god knows when, have hyped it up like some god, and have failed to deliver anything at all, except for a trailer in iirc 1999... since then, there's been 2 (again, iirc... possibly more) engine changes..

    1.3 ghz for a 640x480 2D scroller written in Flash.
    That's why.
