First, sorry for the confusing title, don't know how to word it. I am hard at work with my HL2 modification, putting in many hours a day of tiresome mapping, coding, and many other variables of work. Anyways, I have planned for my mod many "Dream" sequences which bring you back to a remembered childhood location rebuilt in a 3D world. By childhood I basically mean video game memories. So I started with a controversial game to recreate anything after,(since its just proof of concept - It also has a weak RPG system built into the map) but if they C&D me I can easily remove it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/CrAzYiNeSs/2011-07-16_00004.jpg The reason I chose Chrono Trigger was for one specific reason that was very clear to me. I noticed that almost any classic game I was thinking of including, it was almost always the intro, or beginning levels. Everyone is used to the beginning of games way more than the end in my experience. Especially if its a game you never finish. & if its a favorite, you will constantly play the beginning while maybe shelfing it before the end. I know I do. One thing I noticed with Chrono Trigger is that The End Of Time is a very recognizable and key scene in this great game, yet it doesn't come until progressing through the game for a bit. What I am looking for is suggestions of any games, PS1 - N64 era and Before! Also hoping for people to point out games that contain rememberable areas or events that aren't just the very beginning. Depending on how interesting/feasible it will be to incorporate into HL2, I will hammer hard away at it! Its also possible for me to make certain sequences sidescroller, top down, or whatever view needed for the situation. Already working on.... ALTTP - Links House Up to first dungeon partway MGS1 - Intro up the elevator RE1 - Many front rooms of the Mansion. R-Type - Oooh yeah. Will be kept secret until I can refine things. (notice how all those are beginnings of games) I scrapped a few other ideas that were either just too complicated, or didn't play out too well. Thanks in advance!
Narshe, from FF6, with the snow and the caves and the bridges and houses, would be pretty cool. Any area from Super Metroid would be quite awesome too - from the space colony to the red area of Brinstar (or maybe that area with the pink petals floating).
I'd love to see the Terraport level from Vectorman or "Jim's Now a Blind Cave Salamander" (Villi People) from Earthworm Jim 2 - or really any level from EWJ2.
