My attempt at recreating d2_coast_05 in Unreal Engine 5 - final version with color and feel improvements based on your feedback. Thank you!

- the characters models, energy shield stands and the billboard are taken from HL:Alyx

- the enemy models were rigged and weight painted by my 3d character artist gf, thank you V.

- the movement controller is HL2 Project Borealis PBCharacterMovement

- the red shed was modeled by me (ignore the bad UVs)

- the explosions, accurate sound propagation (notice the delayed audio at distance), Chaos destruction of walls, and throwing crowbar mechanic are from my main game, Backrooms Break

- thank you everybody for the color correction suggestions! I've also added proper power lines, more green everywhere, actual moss, moved the fog to 50 meters away, sky is blue like the original, the ugly sniper was replaced with an actual crossbow shooting bolts.

I’m not too knowledgable on trains or train stations, but I’m curious. How would these trains leave the station with a dead end track such as this?

Cosplayed as Barney recently at a con here in the Philippines + my previous Barney cosplays

This marks 2 years since my first Barney cosplay mid 2024 (pic 2). I'm too lazy and busy that's why I only managed to upload my previous cosplays along with this post.

Somehow managed to get most of the gear needed to cosplay barney for a convention held recently. All I need rn is a Black Mesa patch and a crowbar. I kinda stopped cosplaying as Barney since late 2024 (pic 4) due to not being able to find budget to buy the gear that I now have.

The black vest in my previous cosplays was made of cartolina and the holster was made of cardboard and shoestring bc I was so broke at that time.

Might post a part 2 if I find more pics of me taken by other people.

This is a work in progress metrocop i made and i am very proud of the helmet design. I feel like many customs have very clunky helmets which does not look as accurate (they do have more detail and are still cool). Do you have any improvements besides torso and maybe legs? Also this is my first post ever

Dr Breens Speech in Nova Prospekt

6 Upvotes

So i was listening to breens speech here again and got me thinking. Arent overwatch soldiers brainwashed and modified at this point ? So Breens speech to overwatch is him just talking to himself and venting to himself ? Because all the soldiers here are modified so much already id imagine they dont have the capacity to process breens speech. They just follow orders blindly.

This tracks with Breens character. Hes a man trying to convince everyone through propaganda and hes also trying to convinve himself he made the right choice selling out humanity.

Doggy Dog looks awesome standing in a projected texture light with improved materials. I am busy with map d3_c17_02 and after I'm finished with this map I will post a large detailed list and comparisons of all the things I'm busy with Half-Life 2HD (my own little 'remaster' of Half-Life 2). The building in the screenshot from this map looks beautiful with its added details. Looking forward to sharing more.

Question about station 1.

Post image
11 Upvotes

I have managed to save all npcs in station 1 from getting killed a few months ago, but have not managed to replicate it since: if i look at the spot where the citizens are, or shoot the metrocop near them, they say the "don't shoot" line, then suddenly die (killing CPs on the mounted gun has no effect on what happens). The one time i saved everyone, the citizens still said the "don't shoot" line, but did not die. So the actions i did were the same, but the outcome is now different. Has anything changed since then that force kills the npcs? (Workshop mods i have don't change the outcome)

P.S. I've originally saved everyone by prop climbing out of bounds by back tracking to the red train car, climbing on top of it, then prop climb out of bounds, kill all the metrocops and return.

I’ve always felt that the "Highway 17" chapter is weird, and in some ways actually scarier, than "We Don't Go To Ravenholm."
