[QUOTE=ZombineTheSplatter;49440070]I was tired of making other things so I made a Half-life styled ambient song. What do you think? [media]https://soundcloud.com/zombine4life/physical-phenomena[/media][/QUOTE] If I wasn't familiar with the soundtrack, I would've thought this was a part of it. Great work!

[media]https://soundcloud.com/zombine4life/physical-phenomena[/media][/QUOTE] Really nice! Also sounds a bit like qnF from E.Y.E. Have you played it? [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ir-bCPOBYk[/media] (Skip forward a bit)

No I haven't, but I can see the similarity.

So, my friend is trying to make something that sounds like it belongs in HL2 for my mod. How's this sound? [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/90e0dqanae6gagw/TestTheme.wav?dl=0[/url]

dat 70's Black Mesa logo

Now I want to see the 1970's Black Mesa that was such a thorn in Aperture's side

[video=youtube;CB9ecPgZlq0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB9ecPgZlq0[/video] Slightly relevant, towards the end of the new vive trailer, there's a person who is clearly dressed like chell. Of course I don't think its anything more then a homage, but it's still interesting to consider.

Yeah she's dressed as Chell definitely, but that doesn't look like a portal gun she's doing. (Though if they were merging Prospero into the Portal "multiverse", giving Chell magic psi powers and managing the many universes as the Librarian/Aleph I'd totally be ok with that.)

it would be an incredible long shot, but there's always the vortessence or whatever. although that universe stuff sounds pretty cool, i should read up on prospero

I thought he hadn't done music for valve in years.

[QUOTE=Chaos Creator;49463054]Is it me or does the music sound like Kelly Bailey? I thought he hadn't done music for valve in years.[/QUOTE] He did a music kit thaaang in CS:GO

[QUOTE=Chaos Creator;49463054]Is it me or does the music sound like Kelly Bailey? I thought he hadn't done music for valve in years.[/QUOTE] I think he returned to Valve quite a while ago actually. But I'm not 100% sure about that and also they haven't released a game in forever so no clue

With Valve not doing anything game related for a long time, I've always imagined them just partying all day, with Kelly Bailey coming late to the party, but with a lot of booze or whatever.

I would love for Kelly Bailey and Mike Morasky to produce a standalone album together. It would satisfy my craving for industrial/ambient/drone/ rock and let me daydream about what a new half-life game would sound like

So, you know those 8-bit levels I've been making over the past year...? [IMG]https://41.media.tumblr.com/7bc49652a7700876f7c690dd2d95fb3b/tumblr_o0ic03wJuW1rppufao1_1280.png[/IMG]

way too small

Is that supposed to be HL1? It looks like about a quarter the resolution it needs to be to make any kind of detail out in.

Yeah it's a little small, I can make out up to Blast Pit.

has there ever been any behind the scenes stuff shown of the 2 episodes, like how raising the bar showed stuff for half life and half life 2? i was thinking if whenever half life 3 comes out if they might release another book showing stuff for maybe the episodes and portal as well. but i figure it's been 8 years since episode 2 that at least some old concepts might have been shown off and i just missed them.

Evidently the bullsquid was supposed to come back but became the antlion worker. The muscle car was supposed to be a piece of junk rigged together. Combine Elite were to be in the White Forest battle. Alyx was going to be hurt falling from a dangling train car, but instead hurt her by introducing the hunters.

[QUOTE=Chaos Creator;49463054]Is it me or does the music sound like Kelly Bailey? I thought he hadn't done music for valve in years.[/QUOTE] from 2013 [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JOSjbnx.png[/IMG] probably l4d3

The latest thing he shipped was a CS:GO music pack, which was HL-esque. Also we saw him on the L4D3 list during the Jira leak.

Speaking of music from the Half-Life games, here's some Chris Jensen stuff that wasn't in Opposing Force, and includes a longer version of the first HL2 trailer song, as well as CS stuff. (not sure if i'm totally late about this stuff, but w/e) [video=youtube;LmwwconovQU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmwwconovQU[/video]

So I'm trying to remake the old Half-Life loading screen for BM [img]http://s23.postimg.org/3otb5mmnv/Loading1.png[/img] Thoughts?
