Who remembers "The Challenger Deep" Created 16 years ago2007-10-15 16:10:48 UTC by DocRock

Was a Half-Life 1 mod me and several other people worked on a few years ago. Well, I've started a complete rebuild. Check out a few early screenshots here:

It will be for Half-Life 1 only.

Before my mapping days, i played every singleplayer mod i could get my hands on, TCD included. I enjoyed it alot.
A couple of years later, i became an experienced mapper and i tried TCD again. This time, i find it horrible. Bland boring leveldesign, the Test Chamber for example was utter crap: it was jus a metal... thing

Good thing you're doing a remake, the screenshots look pretty neat, so you better get this finished.

The new version looks quite well made in most places. Your choice of ceiling textures is a bit wacky, though.

I first read about the original here. Actually, that's where I've heard about most mods, aside from PlanetPhillip.

Regular players usually focus more on gameplay elements rather than level design and detail.

I know i did, and now that i've mapped for a few years i critique everything.

Looks good Doc
