Mod: Furtiveness
Details: My attempt at a super-anti-hero story. A pharmaceuticals lab owned by a corportation which leads or controls basically everything (think Google, but for your electricity, tech research, resource mines, etc.) conducts experimenting and testing for all sorts of drugs. Not intentionally evil testing, though that branch was operated by some serious idiots, meaning methods were usually ill-founded, results not always pretty or successful.
The player character would be a subject of various pills which were supposed to enhance the user's alertness, reflexes, and agility, sort of like a super energy drink. Instead they did all of that to an extreme, and enhanced his senses to the point where he could (to name a few) see gases, feel and anticipate movements (of living things, winds, etc.) and their causes, hear electrical currents moving, it mostly drove him crazy. Realzing this, he'd assume all of the experimentation at the lab was similar, and begin to sneak around the facility, crawing in suspended ceilings, evading security, and start dispatching of various researchers, destroying research, servers, and just generally trying to screw over that branch of the company in an attempt to keep them from continuing their work.
Reason for Canceling: That's about as far as planning got before I dove right into making maps. Way too ambitious, especially for my skillset at the time, which was limited to incredibly basic mapping. I also never had the story fleshed out enough to really pursue it, nor pitch the idea. I've probably got a few documents and VMFs locked away in old account or HDD somewhere. I'd honestly give this one another shot if I could figure the rest out.
Mod: GG-3883
Details: You're in Black Mesa during the incident. You have to get out. End. This was a bag of ambitiousness mixed with incompetence that I like to pretend never existed.
Reason for Canceling: I constantly encountered issues due to my experimenting with stuff I'd never done before, and it drove me to quit. I'm not a programmer, never have been, likely never will, yet I was constantly trying to mess with source code, and asking around for help with it. I ended up breaking stuff. The mod was also a mix-and-match of assets I'd created, downloaded, etc. Oh, and the mod was inspired when I heard an instrumental demo, and decided I needed a project so I could use it as a theme. This was doomed to fail from the start, and I'm glad.
