Play as a construction worker escaping an alternate Black Mesa.

This is my first mod and it really shows. The mod is the result of a much larger project being cut down to something much much simpler. Its therefore pretty crude and the ending is really abrupt. I plan on making a much better second mod though with an entirely different setting and theme so I appreciate all constructive feedback.

Resources used:

Nightwatch Textures - Nightwatch Team
Condition Zero Sounds - Ritual Entertainment
Blue Shift Hands and HD Content- Gearbox

Original Material Created:

Maps and Overall Design of Mod
Edited Blue Shift Hands (To fit Technician/Construction Worker theme)

This mod is extremely bland, towards the end I felt like I was playing something made by a random map generator. Most of the maps feel almost the same since they are usually hallways and rooms with boxes, and that's pretty much like 90% of the mod. Consider using more different prefabs like that vending machine at the beginning of the mod. Or try having triggers or something. However, it is nice that you used different textures and enemies, going from easy zombies at the beginning towards the assassins at the end. I must also thank you for placing autosaves since I was playing on hard and the soldiers in map 5-6 were pretty tough. You'd be surprised how many mods totally forgot about autosaves.

Since you said you have a larger project, I'd look forward to it.

I appreciate the feedback. This was really my first attempt at anything singleplayer beyond a few unfinished maps I made a long time back. I did most of my mapping for a Counter Strike server so I really lack singleplayer experience.

The next project will have a lot more depth, it'll be quite a bit shorter than this mod but be a lot better in terms of quality.
