I've started development on my first Half-Life mod this month, "Half-Life: Alpha Particles" being the name I chose, because I suck at coming up with shit. The only development I've done is make a conceptual map, a lobby of some sort. I've also took a screenshot of the menu background I created for my mod. I'm uncertain this mod will have a very quick development, alone because of my struggle with coming up with stuff.

I'm running on the same problem as you. Good luck! Also, what is your mod about?
My mod is about a scientist who works for black mesa at a separate research site, located not far from the main one where Gordon's story takes place. I haven't been coming up with anything new or doing any development, I'm currently busy focusing on school more than stuff I do in my free time...
idk anything about making mods... but i love playing them... this did catch my eye so i'd take that as a good sign!
You've got an eye for mods with potential? It's great to hear this caught your eye, even if it's a mod that's barely into development. I hope soon that maybe I'll be able to make a teaser trailer for this mod.
looks cool also it would be cool if we partnered
Maybe things will be just a tad easier if we do.
Take your time. Best option is choose name after at least half of work is done. Also you could firstly write what you want to di, and do in paint outlines of maps. It would help greatly
P.S. Also wish you good luck, and gonna wait to play : )
Thanks, I hope that I continue having the will to make this mod, despite my limited creative ability. If I was particularly good at drawing I would at least try to make concept art of levels and such, and I already have a pretty basic base story. The player rather than being Gordon Freeman, is just another regular scientist working for Black Mesa, off-site at a separate facility not quite far from the main one.
Good luck. maps are infinitely easier to do based on drawings.
That's the thing, and I wish I had that level of artist skill, being able to make concept art for levels in my mod, It would probably make development a bit easier on that subject in particular.
We all starting from something. You will develop such skill if you start do that stuff
those screenshots of your mod project look really nice! hopefully i'd get to see more of it!
Thank you, I am hoping that I'll actually get some progress done on this mod, though my uncertainty and struggle with coming up with unique ideas are quite an obstacle.
you're welcome, though if there's one thing i can say; you might need some help with development for this mod of yours. maybe i can help you if i can, but it's also up to you whether you wanna work on it by yourself or accept some help from someone or a few people like a small team or something like that
Honestly I think it would be for the better to accept some help for a project like this, I think it would be good to have you on deck for this, strength is in numbers right?
yeah, i mean i am also working on a project of my own, thinking that maybe if i'll work on it by myself i could get it done as soon as i can, unfortunately i got a lot of things that kept me away from finishing it, like lack of motivation due to stress and whatnot, as well as helping my family with things, workouts in the gym, and more stuff that i don't wanna bore you with. and if there's a way how we can both discuss about this project of yours (maybe in privacy), lemme know and i'll see what i can do. hopefully my assistance would good enough for you with whoever else that will volunteer to help you.
I understand that, we all have our own lives to tend to alot of the time, Sometimes it's all a lot to be juggling at once. We could maybe keep in touch somehow, so we could discuss on this project further perhaps, though sometimes I might not be as active or completely absent, due to being a introvert with bad communication skills.
yeah, it's unfortunate to have it easy for what we wanna get things done, even if we know enough to do what's right for it. and i'll await for your absolute approval to have me to assist you, and it's okay not everyone can be good at talking and not everyone can be active either. all i hope is that we can be online when it's the right time for us to talk about what we need with the mod. (btw if you saw my same replies so many times, i apologize for that, i don't know why but i kept seeing an error and i thought my response wasn't sent)
I actually had the same issue, lambda generation kept having site error saying something went wrong, turns out that there was some maintenance being done.
Is it related to Delta Particles mod?
No, it's not related to it, this is just a name I came up with after looking at some scientific words, however this name may not be in the final product, my backup name is "Half-Life: Isotope 0"
sound similar to absolute zero
Huh, yeah it really does, might have to change the backup name to something else that doesn't sound so similar to absolute zero.
you might want to check this out though community.lambdageneration.com/g… (its progress on my mod)
I took a look, I like the new additions.
