Hats off. It's all I can say.
Ok, I can say a bit more than that. This is much more than a straight conversion. Many new rooms, objects, dialogue were added which - and that is very important - do add and fit well into what is the base Half-Life experience. I really loved the banter between science staff.
Visually this mod shines.... literally. The default bloom is set to a felt 11.
Just look or better take a glimpse before your eyes shut.
Thankfully the devs added a separate settings tab for new features were among others bloom can be adjusted. I just wish there was an explanation what each box means though. Don't understand all.
Back to visuals. There are many small obejects, many of which you barely see, that are so crazy highly detailed, I no longer wonder why this conversion took so long. It does give an impression of disjointedness when much less detailed objects are close to these though. You can't have it all. From a non-profit project this is way more than anyone could expect.
Crazy to think the original game is 17 years old! I still remember it like it was yesterday. One of my favorites. Hah, to think I am playing such a nostalgic game today, the day I was born, makes it only more emotional.
Really loving it so far and I will definitely continue playing.
Here some more choice screenshots.
Just a beautiful sight for Half-Life fans
Everyone's favorites Dr. Kleiner and Dr. Vance.
Females also found their way deep underground.
Give Minerva a go if you haven't already. One of the best free mods I've played.
Thanks! I will try it out.
