This is an incomplete list of mods already in the making for HL2:
Quote:
Some(most?) of them will probably never be released, but you'll have plenty of competition. Good luck, you'll need it.

It would be interesting to know how many of them will make it to the end and actually release something

OK, official view of said competition: We encourage other mods to do well because 1) competition is good. 2) we want something else good to play ourselves when HL2 gets old (if it ever does). Yes there are 70 mods there already planned before the game is released but we'll see at the end of the first 6 months how many of those sites haven't been updated in like 4 months. This time around we plan on being one of the ones that DOESN'T disappear into the wilderness. Phatcat: Sweet lineup hey?

I intend to work on at least one HL2 mod this time around, hopefully once my current project at work dies down, I can get around to learning the HL2 editor. (Mapping / scripting). I'm looking to get promoted to a designer soon, so any extra experience is always good.

Colony 8 sounds like the movie 'Outland' ... with an 'epic' scope.
Nice idea, too bad it's going to sink faster than a rock because it's filled with too many impossible features. Sure ... it's not impossible to do some of the work before the engine & capabilities are known, but the given that the core design of any mod will depend on what can & can't be done it's not exactly smart to plan & design everything. In fact those that plan everything are just as likely to fail as those that don't ...

When i saw "A_Rimmelister" as the last poster in this thread, i excpected some wonderful enthusiam-breaking comments, with this unmatched and unique "guys i know what i'm talking about better than any of you" tone.
Thanks for not disappointing me JaFO

I'm overwhelmed by your support Rimmelister, I truelly am. I'm sure many mods before us were full of 'Impossible Features' and have gotten off the ground.
Also the core design of this mod is revolving around the story. I don't care if the game can do everything we want it to (even though we've seen just about all the best features on the E3 videos) we can still tell a story. So NER!

Exactly.Colony8 will be strongly oriented towards single-player, and single-player requires a solid background to be convincing. Not saying more

I kinda agree with A_Rimmerlister on a point. Ambitious mods are more likely to fail (well, they nearly always fail). Starting a mod with lots of different ideas never helps. Focus only on 1 or 2 and add more with time

Don't take me wrong we won't be starting off aiming for the final version. I agree aiming to high leads you straight down. We will start small, but what we're saying on the site etc is the idea for the mod in total. Of course we will start off concentrating on getting a couple of weapons, maybe a single map etc and working it out slowly.

It cant hurt to get a big design doc together before the project starts, as long as you make yourself internal milestones to work towards to keep the project on track. Set dates for getting key functionality into the game, if it cant be done you need to find out ASAP so you can change the design to accomadate for this.

Design Doc first, then game
I have about 20 1/2 completed design docs lying around from various mod projects I thought of. (hope to finish one someday)

Good luck with it Phat, hopefully I'll get to help out with some of the design stuff on my next project at work.
