Please note, not only is this mod extremely tight and well made, I managed to go the whole thing without dying, kept a constant train of thought and NOT A SINGLE donation was made. I will probably never have this level of seamlessness in a video ever again. I think that's neat. Also if you're thinking this video is low effort I did in-fact I spent far too long making 3 invisible edits with footage of me faffing bout or standing around cut out that you'd never notice.

this map was made by the guy that made the mission improbable series, made arena_offblast for tf2, and has been with valve since 2016. he was in the credits for HLA

the explosion effect at the end was VERY good. Communication to the player through the usage of game mechanics is ALWAYS a great addition to immersion. The red shock, damage indicator, and fade to black was perfectly handled, with the only thing to give it away being the health indicator at the bottom of the screen.

this is how you make good combat scenarios, it feels like it was planned and tested to be a perfect challenge for a single run through despite it not having any complex level geometry or other shenanigans, just you, a building and your quick wit, its so simple but so effective and judging by the fact he made it out with only one health left, that work paid off
The environment and level design is really impressive. It’s up to dishonoured’s level of map design. Also, am I the only one mildly infuriated every time he calls it curry instead of dr Magnusson’s magnificent microwave casserole?
That part about the situation having been under control literally had me in tears LOL :D Great mod and great playthrough, this was such a rollercoaster
Damn this was a well made mod. OFC it's a valve employee. My only gripe is that it was so good I'm mad there's not more. Those puzzles were cool (even if it's been done in other games) and fits into HL in a unique way.
Hey there Jolly! I'd have a suggestion for a game you could play. It's called "Hyperbolica" and is similar to Superluminal (in terms of brain-breaking at least). It came out today and I would really like to see how you'd deal with its funky mechanics (it's also available in VR ;) )
I swear, youtube does EVERYTHING it can to not suggest your videos, despite the fact that I'm subscribed. It took me over 10 refreshes to even see this video in the first place

Gotta say though, I don't like the shotgun firing animation. Doesn't feel like it has near as much impact as the firing animation in HL1/HL2/Black Mesa. Maybe it's more realistic, I don't know, but it just doesn't feel as much like what you'd expect from a video game shotgun, if that makes sense.
@@the_rabidsquirel well yeah but I’m comparing it to the original animations, not to other games It’s still nice tho, and the animation for taking out the crowbar is cool too
@@zyanidwarfare5634 I'm comparing to the original too. I explicitly mention HL2, and figured I'd throw in HL1 and Black Mesa as well as I think they all do the shotgun firing animation better than this mod.
I could be wrong but I think Half-Life teleports aren't like Star trek teleports.. my understanding is correct they use an alternate dimension to slingshot.. so I mean theoretically anyways there's a hell of a lot more of a chance of your essence going from one place to the other it's not from what I understand again and I'm totally possibly totally wrong and possibly right at the same time cuz they may not have explained it because why would you.. but yeah.. still just just from the information at hand way more likely than a Star trek teleport.. where it is at its core technology destroying you and copying you well reassembling you anyways so anyhow...

Just a question, will you ever play Half Life Alyx?

Your video is the best jolly, take break if you need them

This was a really well-made mod. The bit that stood out to me was the use of lighting to guide the player and level design to frame vistas.

The dude who worked on this map has also worked on a number of other maps for other Source games, and he's even a part of Valve. He helped work on Half Life Alyx.
It's funny for how this mod sounds like a meme, but it's really well made and uses a clever mechanic. Feels like something Valve could've made

This map looks incredible and it's really clever. Hope the guy who made it went on to work in environment design and the like
Combat encounters need some work but it's still really cool.
That was some fantastic use of the Source engine.

didn't he re-upload that to another channel? I forget which one lol he has so many we dunno about
