Technology
Dreamscape: Pin Point Blank makes use of Half-Life 2's Source engine. The Source engine is continually updated, which makes this project ever-evolving. The project has customized almost every aspect in Half-Life 2, with a brand new gui, a new camera, a new style of gameplay, and more.

Background info
Dreamscape is a 3rd-person single-player game. Dreamscape also has many RPG elements such as a fully-featured dialogue system, a buy and sell menu, a customize a player feature and more.

The game takes place in the mind of Virgil Coltreese, a lawyer in the city of Chicago.

Prior to the events of the Dreamscape mod, Virgil's brother, Romero, was murdered by a group of mobsters known as the Carollas. The Carollas were seeking revenge on Virgil, but had mistaken Romero for Virgil on the night of the murder.

The murder of Romero caused such shock in Virgil that he began having many nightmares and visions of the future. Dreamscape: Pin Point Blank takes place in one of these visions. Whether they represent reality or not is something you will find out as you play the game.

Features
  • Completely 3rd-person with adjustable zoom.
  • 10 engaging and fully interactive levels, each with primary and secondary objectives.
  • An interactive easy to edit XML-based Dialogue System.
  • Maintain healthy sanity levels, or have your vision affected.
  • Pin Point system, location-specific damage, which affects your accuracy, running speed, etc. All of which is curable by using the various items in the game.
  • Slomo action at the cost of sanity.
  • Various graphical additions, such as Relief Mapping and HDR.
  • Various stealth kills, which reward you by increasing your sanity.
  • Buy and Sell items with other friendly/neutral NPCs.
  • Change your character's look, via the customize a player screen.
  • A patcher/loader that makes it easy to get new updates and test out the game.
  • Several new weapons, including a flamethrower, incendiary grenade, and rocket launcher.
  • Stealth gameplay: Dragging dead bodies, Hiding inside objects, and faking death.

Wow! That looks cool! I would love to joint but I feel my HL2 mapping skills are not yet refined enough for this kind of work.

Just to clarify, we're not too worried about skill with entity work. We're basically looking for someone who can make pretty maps. :cool:

i wouldnt say source is continually updated.....more like once every 18 months or so. continually would be at least once every 2 months. bugfixes dont count ;)

I really don't have time to to devote to this work so I will give it a miss. I'm too busy coding for Zane and working on Santa's Revenge 2.

I'd be interested.
I haven't completed a half life2 map ever but i know if i put my mind to it and focus i can get one done.
You say you would like an example map of my work, i can throw something together if you would like.

Wont be overly pretty or anything like that, but just to show what i can do mostly, right?

Windows 98 was phased out, that must be why.

There's something distinctive about Source games. It must be the barrel props and HDR.

Nice screenshots, all looking good. Good luck with your mod. Canuck.
If I was mapping for Source, I would probably join. But unfortunately I'm not...Goldsource is too addictive when you are skilled enough to ... do or make pretty much, anything in it.

that's why it's taking so long for me to switch to source :(

For a mod that seems to be producing good content you sure are easy with who you hire. Well good luck I guess.
