Eternal Silence is a space combat mod for HL2
What are your goals with this mod?
This mod is an opportunity for all the members on the team to get real game development experience in a professional atmosphere that rivals most real game studios. Our goal is to get real experience to get into the industry and complete a real game. We are not here to fool around, we are here to get better at what we do.
What seperates you from the rest of the HL2 Mods?
Eternal Silence is a complete experience in the sense that we put the players in a universe with no boundries and no shortcuts. The basis of the gameplay revolves around capital ships facing off in deep space. Players will be able to fight inside these capital ships, command them or man space craft and fight outside the capital ship.
How far along are you guys?
The gameplay concept is complete. We have outlined our first release. We are currently the only mod showing off custom real-time shaders and normal mapped characters. Coding is expected to commence shortly once the SDK is released. Most models are complete for the first release.
