Expo Decay – Half-life: Episode 3 top-down fan shooter based on Epistle 3

Year 2058. Humans still create content based on Mark Laidlaw’s Epistle 3, still starving for a proper ending for Half-Life’s story and still waiting for Half-Life 3. We’ve never stopped believing.

Today, we are here to announce that another fan-make Half-Life: Episode 3 is on the way. Owen Deery has just released a top-down shooter based on Mark Laidlaw’s Epistle 3 story.

I wanted to build a Half-life game, but I didn’t want to retread the same FPS ground that Valve had already explored. I knew that I would never be able to match what they had built. So I decided to go in a different direction and make a top-down game that combined the action of Half-life with something more quickly accessible like Lego Star Wars or Hotline Miami. The combat evolved into something really fun, so I also included an arena mode. In the arena mode, players can blast Combine and Zombie hordes infinitely! Along with this came a few mutators (like Big Head mode) to add some variety.

Thanks, DSOG.
