Total Conversion HL2 Mod

Posted by Zonk on from the guildhall-approved dept.

bbzzdd writes "A comprehensive total conversion of the Half-Life 2 game has been released. Crafted by students from SMU's Guildhall, Eclipse is a beautiful change of pace from the average FPS. From the site: 'You play as a young Sorceress named Violet whose father went missing five years back. After learning the secrets of Telekinesis, you are teleported into Auld-Haven, a lush and fertile land where Violet grew up. Your objective is to return to Violet's home where she last saw her father years ago and dig up any clues to his whereabouts. In the broken down tower of her home you discover a journal left by her father. The journal unlocks a handful of secrets that ultimately leads you on a quest to find the ancient teleportation device - the Standing Stones.'"

    In order to find the Standing Stones, you have to develop a series of Java applications.

    Yeah, just to let you know you are going to Stonehenge.

      You jest. But where is the HL2 porn? It's a good physics engine, I'm told, and has realistic people. Or what about all these other photorealistic games I see ads for?

      C'mon, adult industry, use a tenth of the creativity you use in titling your movies and find a way to make a business model for this.

      I saw some Doom 3 porn once.

      Or at least, I think I did. There was lots of moaning, but I couldn't really see anything.

    As Violet, you must save your father from a collapsing web server before it's too late.

    Whoops.
