My concept screens
 
So several weeks ago I foun an Interesting Half-life modification, that convert 1st HL into a sort of side-scroller, so I've made up my mind to make a small Oddworld modification that will be based on this mod. Now I'm on stage of making 3D models, weapons and attempting to make some sort of a gamespeak option. Here are some background images I made (frankly speaking they're intended for Paul's future game editor). I don't know when I'll be able to complete this because I'm basically have only onу day-off but I hope this all won't be for nothing.

These images in fact are only composed of parts of backgrounds from AE and AO, I only photoshopped them and added some new details, such as these monorails and High Voltage phylons.

Cool stuff. But this should technically be in Fan Corner.

Admiral Zaarin 10-13-2007 03:09 AM

Sorry, I'm somewhat new to this place.

The plot is based on that Abe's new mission is to shut down one of Magog Cartel's major powerplants so that would seize most of glukkon facilitties on about half of Mudos.

Good. Make one with Abe and Munch in the same screen in AO!

Xavier 10-13-2007 10:24 AM

They are looking really good, this talent can be useful when Paul will release the editor for AO

Good stuff.

Admiral Zaarin 10-20-2007 01:50 AM

Here are more of them. Paul is keeping up a good work on his tools, so I hope soon I'll be able to make smth.

Well, good stuff!!! Excuse me for this question, but what is Paul doing?

Admiral Zaarin 10-20-2007 02:32 AM

Paul is making instruments to edit AO or a level editor

abe is now! 10-20-2007 02:44 AM

Ehm, can you explain better? I understood only Paul is making something with your screens and other instruments: but what is he doing?

Admiral Zaarin 10-20-2007 03:18 AM

No, Paul does nothing with my screens. He is writing (programming) a set of utilities to edit Abe's Oddysee, and finally he wants to incorporate them into a level editor. After he finishes this work I'm going to use his utilities/editor to make my AddOn for AO. For further info on Paul's future level editor, tools etc., see the thread "lvl files" in general discussion. Paul has already made sevral good tools to extract resourses from AO *.LVL and *.CAM files

Ok, thank you. But why don't you assemble your screens in new levels?

Admiral Zaarin 10-20-2007 04:05 AM

All the screens shown here are from different levels I've already made, I'just don't want to reveal to much before the work is complete. Basically I'd like to mention that this time Abe is going to destroy a major industriallist powerplant. As you remember many of Glukkon plants were powered by boilers, such system prooved itself to be unhandy, dangerous and unprofitable, so they desided to back up the powersources of their fascilities with a network of powerlines and build several major powerplants.

The action begins in Monsaic Lines, then you go to Paranomia, where you need to sabotage a newly-built power relay, then you will visit Scrabania and try to infiltrate a Powerplant. Also you'll visit several new locations such as the hydrodam, major power relay in an industriallized area and a steel manufacturing plant.

Also I'd be glad if someone invents a name draws a logo for an Electric Power Company and Steel Factory.

Whoa cool stuff!Did I heard right you are going to edit the game with theese?
If that's true I would love to try it!

Admiral Zaarin 11-06-2007 08:23 AM

So I've made some more screens but I'll not post'em for a while, because the work is in progress. Also I need some "engine" to work with. As for now, I'm working with half-life's. The only problem is that I'm very short on time and at the same time I make a half-life mod based on mix between "Alien" and "Starship Troopers" movies.

We can wait you, Admiral Zaaring. And we will be enchanted when you will post your screens :D!!!!
