- Half Life Vance (now known as ReVance) is a mod that aims to retell the story of Half-Life 2 but without Gordon Freeman. In this universe, Gordon never came back and we'll be playing as Alyx Vance who now dons the HEV Suit.

I noticed some folks are having trouble downloading this. Here's how I did it:
1- Click the gitlab link in the description.
2 - Click the download icon that's located left of the "Clone" button.
3 - Click "zip".
4 - Download should start.
5 - After download is completed, open the directory and open the "Run Vance.bat" file.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the sudden influx of users, the download may or may not work right now. If it doesn't, please wait a while before trying again.
uh
The zip button doesnt work on any browsers
thanks for the tut, I was almost lost xD
you should have warned us a bout the hunt down the freeman jumpscare
You have to clone it. Downloading the ZIP file leaves out the LFS files.
The idea that Gordon was only in HL1 and only exists as a mythical figure is awesome to me.
HL1 and 2 are so different to me they might as well be different universes.
You have to remember that, in-universe, there was indeed a long stretch of several decades with no Gordon. What you're saying is something that was actually depicted.
Hello BlueShit199
The idea is awesome even though my favorite HL1 character is Adrian.
@@phant0m233several decades? It's more like 2 right?
HL Vance is essentially just HL Alyx, but it takes place during HL2, Alyx has a cool suit, and the guns look better
*Sign me up*
the first time i heard of the vance mod was when it was cancelled, i was actually sad about it since the whole ''What if Gordon refused the G-man's deal'' thing is a really cool concept and Alyx essentially being G-man's fallback for his plan is even cooler and it was sad to see a idea like that go to waste. but now hearing that its being remade? i am overjoyed and cannot wait for it to come out.
I am so glad to see this project being worked on again!
I was actually friends with one of the concept artists on the old mod. It's very strange to see this mod again. Idk if they're still an artist on the new team. I remember being devastated when the mod got cancelled but not surprised because I was used to disappointment in this community. But then Entropy Zero 2 came out and gave me and everyone else in the HL community hope and that probably includes the people who are reviving this project. This mod will be one of the best, I can already tell.
yes
do you mean Entropy Zero 2?
@@Feasco yes idk what I was on when I wrote it I was thinking of the NIN album
Yes it so looks like it will be so close yet maybe better or tied to breadman's
Half-Life 2 but Gordon Freeman is in his new home
HOLY CRAP! I was so exited for this mod and was SO bummed that it got canceled! Can’t wait to see where it goes!
*excited
Just wanted to correct it to avoid confusions 👌🏻

Honestly it's great to see this mod being back in the works. Hopefully it doesn't get canceled again.
Can we just appreciate how the combine, a known dark and gritty faction, single handedly cleaned up the ocean? Such great people!
Well, they didn't in release version. It was in HL2 Beta and obviously that idea was cut like many Beta ideas were.
@@fantastikboom1094they still drained a bit of it since some riverbeds are drivable, but the rest is full of carnivorous leeches
@@Feasco ah, he just wanted something to prove me wrong with. Didn't feed into it though
@@Feasco They drained a A LOT of it. Lowering the shoreline that far would require somewhere over 3 trillion metric tonnes being removed from the ocean overall. For context: 750 billion metric tonnes of water has been added since 1880, and the water level has only changed by ~ +30 cm... they've managed to change it by a couple dozen metres.
Turn the ship.
I remember watching Deadwater Gaming's video on it last year, and was sad to see such a promising mod get cancelled. I am glad its been revived.
You know what would have been cool?
a mod for half life where you play as Eli escaping black mesa
YES THIS IS AMAZING NEWS I THOUGHT THE PROJECT WAS DEAD, im so excited for this
edit: i'd be very happy if the team hired you to be a composer for the game, cause your music is really great!
the music sounds really good in this mod. looking forward to this
I almost forgot about this mod a while ago. It's great to see the project is very well alive and not dead.
inhuman looks insane too!
Seems like the perfect kind of mod to introduce souped up assassins with AI that can parkour to keep up with you during gunfights!
Time to bring back the Combine assassins for this one
This is so surreal to see you covering a project that i am a part of. I hope you enjoyed my levels. Most of my work has been on the combat demo level.
everything about the gameplay looks so clean, movement, gunplay, animations, it looks so professionally done
and I can't put my finger on it but I think the run and gun gameplay looks much more hl1 than hl2 ya know?
I completely agree! It feels like I'm watching someone bounce around like in Half-Life 1 enemy to enemy but in the source engine.
Perhaps the Quake roots of Half-Life are showing in this mod a little more than retail Half-Life 2?
I remember trying to get the original source maps and stuff for this mod to work, all its scrapped ideas and such looked really cool, and that soundtrack absolutely kicks ass.
I can't wait to see what the new team does with it, I hope it works out better this time.
As someone that got to make concept art for Vance a long while ago I'm glad that it's chugging along despite all the drama. Hopefully the new lads do some good work.
Prior lead developer Qsader here, well for some background we (Rational Studios) revived the mod a year ago, I was forced to step down and now rogue lambda is working on it. This project is filled with drama but I am glad it is back and hope to see more progress.
Edit: I don't want our contributions to be forgotten because without us this would have never happened at all.
i hope these guys from lambda can finally put this on its tracks, lots of great mods lost throught time either due to trama or awful issues
Saw this mod awhile ago, always felt sad that it got halted, since it had a lot of cool ideas and potential (Especially intriguing to see a Gordon-less world, and Alyx's suit design is awesome! The parkour system also fits and seems real fun, given Alyx's nature of being more "flashy" with her movement). Glad to see it's alive again!
One could say this is the Half-Life Alyx we never got.
If this gets a steam release I could see this going down with mods like entropy zero echoes. This might even become a full on game like black mesa or gmod
YESSS FINALLY I WAS WAITING DOR THIS NEWS
This looks absolutely incredible; I particularly love how scrappy and fluid the combat looks. Immediately different from high TTK in vanilla.
It's the same TTK. I think it's recorded on easy or normal difficulty. I hope they will make enemies healthier (or deal more damage to compensate their health), but faster and more accurate for hard difficulty. I played HL2 many times and hard difficulty doesn't feel hard at all, soldiers need lots of changes to the AI.
I saw that project year or two ago and i was very sad when they stopped working on it, and now IT'S BACK BABY.
B A L L S .
b a l l s ?
ah yes, balls
Real
Balls aren't real
Alyx doesn't have balls...
This, Half Life Inhuman and Raising the Bar Redux are in my top most awaited hl mods!
>Semi-Auto SPAS-12
this is forgotten knowledge at this point
Glad the mod is being revived. The premise is good and could kinda serve as an Alyx 2 in ways. Hopefully this team can finish it or atleast make it further into development
God radhaz i love your intros never stop doing them
This has to be the best half life 2 mod in development, and I hope to see it finished. ESPECIALLY WITH THAT NUTTY FAKING SHOTGUN DUDE.
Thanks for covering this Rad. I'm one of the co-leads if you/anyone has questions
Yooo HLA at home looking fire
Half-Life walked so HDTF could fall. HDTF fell so Entropy could run. Entropy ran so every god damn idea for a Half-Life sourcemod could fly.
When I first heard about this mod, it was already cancelled then, but I had a feeling that someone will continue making this. Glad to see that I was right.
"Gordon Freeman is not real".
This game: "ok"
Hell yeah! I was so sad when it got canned. Glad to see it back. This, HL2 Inhuman, Black Mesa: Blue Shift, we've got some insanely good mods on the way it seems.
My headcanon is Godon stayed in Xen to ensure the Xenian creatures don't come back to Earth, like the Doomguy in Doom 64.
HELL YEAH COMBINE ASSASSIN MOMM- i mean, combine assassins in a mod.
you are absolutely right rad, that OST actually fucking slaps.
but not only that, it does not feel like a mod OST but sounds like it would absolutely fit in a valve-made title.
its bumping and thumping but does not interrupt from the thundering and rattling of your guns.
jesus august has been awesome this year
Some things from the mod remind me of Half life 2 Raising the Bar redux. Mostly the shotgun and alyx's auto pistol
when the mod is done they should make a sequel called "adVANCEd"
this is how the shotgun should have worked in half life 2. i mean thats what spas is all about. even shotgunner combine soldier in HL2 uses it this way. so cool.
but you know how most mods end up, and how long it takes to finish them.
Just want to say that mp7 with the GP-25 under barrel nade launcher is genius and looks amazing,love the reload animations aswell.
im very glad this mod is back!!
Awesome video, thanks!
I remember Deadwater covering this mod, the fact that it's returning is a certified Unexpectancy moment
Haven't been a donater for a while because life stuff got in the way, but super happy to see such a large donater list! Keep up the great content :)
Oh the combat looks like fun, the first person animations look legitimately high quality, and the soundtrack slaps and fits the combat pace perfectly, I hope this gets finished.
Hot damn! Another Rogue Lambda project covered by the man himself.
Thank you so much for this Rad ♥
Ayy of course! Good job on the new stuff in Vance!
Thank you so much for this news Hazard 💙
WOOOO YEAH BABY THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT WOOOO. I fucking loved playing the in development build and i wanted someone to continue development
RadHaz actually allowing the sound to play when it's talked about...
Who are you and what have you done to him?
Hope that this is going to be the big next mod after Entropy Zero 2!
good video man
That's so cool you can now play as Eli Vance!
using your prosthetic leg as a melee weapon should be fun but I think the clanking noise it makes while you're running could get annoying
The Central Intelligence Agency of Canada could not stop the development of this mod.
The weapon sounds and animations look incredible
I would gladly buy this on Steam, the quality is there
Love the new intro
I actually really, really like how they have structured the git lab project folder, going back 15 years now, I remember trying to get into HL2 modding, and the one thing that kept me away was the messy nature of the workflow at the time, because I would build in the HL2 steam directory, and that game was already 15gb, (considered very big at the time in relation to an 80gb hard drive), I’d easily run out of hard drive space or an update to the game would be pushed that would break my changes, so there were a few technical limits as well as trying to get my head around what to actually ship, but I can see looking at this games repo, there is a clean sense of abstraction, like they even supply the raw game assets in another repo. - I'm currently working on a quake 1 mod with the intention of also transition over to half-life 1, maybe eventually half-life 2 idk, but I have bookmarked this mod and I'm going to give it a go, it looks like it doesn't even need half-life 2 to run, but I'll be sure to test it with a clean copy of HL2 off steam if I can't get it to work.
I'm going to take the directory structure of this mod back to mine and incorporate it into my workflow.
I've worked with a number of different game engines over the years and it's nice that this has pulled back the curtain for hl2, and that I can kind of just see by looking at how it's all put together, it becomes a big helping motivator for game development...
Setting up development environments is usually half the battle when it comes to game dev. (imo)
This sounds great!
Very glad this mod is getting worked on again. Always thought the alternate universe concept was really intriguing.
I'm hoping to see this mod finished!
Good luck guys
Yes! They kept the music files!
Casually doing some titanfall 2 style movement there, I'm glad this is coming back, I hope it stays afloat this time
yay :) I saw this on Deadwater Gaming's second channel, and now I see it continue!!!
The music on that awesome combat scene reminds me a lot of payday 2 soudntracks. I love it, makes it really intense and makes you feel badass.
Honestly loving the faster movement and more aggressive playstyle, but still punishes mistakes. Hope to those utilized grabbity gloves used too.
Haven't heard of this mod at all, but looks big. I hope it will be as ambitious as RTBR !
I was so sad when I discovered this only for it to be in hiatus. I'm so glad it's back
I really hope we get to see the Russells in this.
Oh wow really?! I always thought this mod had a really interesting premise and I'm glad it's being worked on again. Sick, can't wait to wait 5.7 billion years for its release!
Fuck yeah, Literally what I've been waiting for
Damn Rad makes some dang good music, and the same for your videos.
V is victory. - Zhmilevski
sometime ago I was on a team directed by the same guy that was reviving this mod I was tasked to make a game on UE5. I stopped working on it a few month later because I was seeing that the guy couldn't manage 2 team and his personal life. But seeing now that the mod is back with a new eam is really cool !
Looks and sounds fire
the music gives me hotline miami vibes
pretty cool, I hope it really takes of and gets finished
Looks sick
My poor goggy 😭😭🕊️
looks pretty good. I like the crosshair recoil.
WE MAKING IT OUT OF CITY 17 WITH THIS ONE
Used to date someone who used to work on this mod. Its really great to see what could've been a dumpster fire turned into something really sweet. Even if this doesn't get finished this is a amazing alpha!
Oh my god I thought this project was dead thank goodness
thank God for making this mod opensource 🙏🙏🙏
When I heard about the mod being cancelled and going open source I just lost hope for vance to be picked up but now... I thinm I'd have to reconsider myself also for ohter mods like the famous chell's legend
LESGOOOOO!!!! E please reach out to compose music for the mod you are an amazing musician!!!!:D
Neat that this is ongoing, i had a go with that warehouse map and was pretty resigned to that being all there'd ever be
i have to say though the default hud color being red gives me anxiety, it's like everything is in permanent danger mode
we are so back
this is gonna be awsome
I was in a team that was also trying to revive Vance at some point, but it wasn't managed very good so I quit due to also not having enough experience
Someone should make a mod where Alyx has the HEV armor from Vance during battle scenes. It's kind of weird seeing her absorb a ton of bullets while wearing normal clothes
leather jacket with duct tape lining, that's all you need bay beee
Cant wait to play it
YES! LETS GOOOO!
you better not talk about that nightmare 2:09
Hey Rad. If you haven't already you should check out the hl2 mod called "Inhuman" It looks pretty great and it's one that I am really excited for.
Oh yeah I know about that one. Pretty baller looking mod.
The gameplay looks different but still fun, I'm down to play this once it releases
