Raindrop HL2 mod

8. September 1997, somewhere in Russia. 58 years have passed since the complex has been cut off from the outside world. You wake up in an abandoned tunnel, without even a name ...

I was thinking the same :D

:shock: that looks like STALKER. Dante2710

It takes place in the abandoned city of Prypiat in Ukraine. Now you must know that the latest STALKER also takes place in Prypiat or at least so I've heard, so the similarities are inevitable.

Holy ****!!! That's Source?!

I can't believe this is coming from the source engine. Valve should start taking notes from these guys.

I almost can't believe that this is running on the source engine. Its phenomenal. Deadly_Fatalis

Those screenshots are quite impressive.

looks very good

It was hard for you to tell? I personally don't think it looks all that vastly different from other Source engine titles. TF2 to me has yet to be topped in terms of taking the Source engine to a new level and doing something fantastic with it.

Awesome mod :P free Stalker game right herez. Its impressive that the devs arent even paid do this I think like Black Mesa mod. Btw Cod MW series is loosely based off of the Quake 3 Engine just that IW juiced it up to where it is now.

I don't really get the teaser trailers. If the game takes place in and around Pripyat, why show clips of the Soviet Union pre-1950s?

Anyway, I'll add this to my list of HL2 mods to watch. The attention to detail is really impressive.

Source is probably one of the most mod friendly and accessible platforms to date with mods still coming 6 YEARS!!! after its release and the graphics still look competitive.

:shock: Thats the Source Engine?!

I Love the source engine so, so, so much. It really is the best engine when you factor in all the different variables.

I love Stalker, will keep an eye out for this mod. But it has been in development for a while, hasn't it? On Podcast 17 they mentioned it a while ago (2009).

and By the way: The building in this picture does look like Pripyat (or at least old Russia).

And some people say that the Source engine's top capabilities is shown in Half-life 2.Treflis

Well, it's obviously impressive what they've done with the Source engine here...

But it does look like they just shamelessly copied STALKER. The art style is identical.

The screenshots are very reminiscent of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but I think, based on the screenshots shown, the art direction and attention to detail are superior to it. Quite impressive.

It's pretty amazing where SOURCE has ended up is'nt it? You look at modded HL2 and think that's pretty nice for an old game but that's not at all the benchmark for the capabilities of the engine.

Nice!

I missed this when it first posted. I don't care if this similar to STALKER in the least, in fact that's what makes this sound awesome and has me very interested. Though they mention they were also influenced by the Silent Hill series, Max Payne, and Batman Arkham Asylum for example.

According to the news at MODDB, the project changed it's direction, it's not going to be a HL2 mod anymore, but a standalone game developed with a new engine, although they ported the material from Source to the new engine. At first they said the new engine is OGRE, but now they stated that they're coding their own. The game is set on an abandoned city in Russia, not in Pripyat, Ukraine. sandspectre

Indeed, not sure if everyone noticed that...

Q: What is all this I hear about an engine switch? A: We are no longer developing Raindrop as a source mod. We will instead be using OGRE, bullet, a custom AI and networking subsystem and several new materials, shaders, & scripts to make a standalone game.
