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."

  1. I for one, am excited for this... by tweder · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...as it may be as close to playing HL2 as us Mac users are going to get.

    Plus it looks similar to Metal Slug, which is never a bad thing IMO.

  2. Still not out? by aanand · · Score: 5, Funny

    What, this thing still hasn't been released?
    That's it, I'm creating a Defender clone based on the released screenshots.

    There's a Duke Nukem Forever joke in here somewhere.

    system requirements

    disk space 30mb + 65mb

    How far we've come- a 1.3 GHz CPU for a 640x480 2D scroller. Oh, progress!
