Vance is a total conversion Half-Life 2 mod from the perspective of Alyx, set in an alternate universe where Gordon Freeman declined G-Man's offer at the end of Half-Life 1 and is presumed dead. And the people behind this mod need your help! The "Vance" team is now looking for mappers and programmers, however any help you can provide to them will be graciously accepted. Here's the ModDB page for the mod: moddb.com/mods/vance/news/update… Let's all hope for the best for this mod…
Did you know that the 2003 leak had no major affect on Half-Life 2's development beyond moral? A lot of people love to point out that the darker tone of the game was scrapped and the game was delayed due to the leak, but that's not the case. A lot of those cut ideas were already cut by the time of the leak and were merely leftovers from a bygone era of development. The delay from November of 2003 to sometime in 2004 was also going to happen regardless as the game was not ready (as you can clearly see in the leaked build.) The 2003 leak was already shaping up to be the final story and mapset. It just needed some more time in the oven to be finished, which it got.
Did you know the HAssault wasn't running a censored model in the German press build of Half-Life v0.61? While there's evidence that a "g_heavy.mdl" existed, it is unknown if it was in-game at this point or if it was programming error to not replace the model in German builds due to the naming difference of "heavy" instead of "hassault."
The Apprehension pocket dimension. Room that served no purpose, could not be accessed without noclip. Removed in the final game.
