Thank you very much! It's a fun little project to work on in my spare time so I'm glad people like it!

Just to say something about the new trailer, Half-Life 2 does not have "Seamless" level loading. It kicks you out of a map, and throws you in another one. And about the position of the seamless loading, I'd say make it after the breach happens. When the facility is plunged into darkness, and 173 goes in the vent is when I'd recommend it, and during elevator scenes and such. Maybe even past checkpoints.

Ah, my mistake, I basically just meant how it doesn't change your location/where you're looking!
I'll be honest, I was thinking the exact same thing, I will be changing that shortly! I only had it at that part because that was as far as I'd built at the time of making the loading thing!

Ahah, thanks! That would be cool. I also like the zooming Golf Cart that's on the level you can't reach. (Looks like a golf cart at least, I like it.) I feel that there should be just more NPC's down there though. Standing there, transferring papers or talking. Maybe a NPC or two walking down the same area you are in, another guard. It seems pretty empty. I also like the guard that's dosing off at the end of the hall. Well, looks like it at least. The facility seems pretty empty in the original game. I like the ambiance noises, and the design. Things seem really big though. The more lively facility is great. Some stuff looks really shiny though.

I've already added a bunch of NPC's right in the place you're talking about! I'm 1 step ahead! xD The place is already a lot more lively I'm gonna make a new video on that soon enough! I'm still trying to figure out how to get the guards to escort you, it's in my big list of to-do! Is it bad when it's shiny? o: (Just curious xD)

Thanks for the suggestions! Most are already in the middle of being added in There's already a couple of people chatting down where the golf cart is! xD

Well, a active developer who's nice! Man, haven't seen those in a year....
It's not bad that it's shiny, just the fact that it seems a bit awkward. It looks good though.
I think you should just set a path-leading thing, where it takes them to the beginning of the chamber. Then he stops. As for the conversations between the two guards, maybe when it happens, they should turn their heads, or stop for a minute.
I think you should make the blink bar a little smaller. It seems pretty awkward being so big, and maybe longer with more "Boxes" in the slots.

I'm active as much as I can be! I'll see what I can do to make it a little bit less shiny That's what I plan to do, i'm just really bad with animations at the moment! I was trying all day yesterday and I almost got them working but in the end I gave up on it, I'll see what I can do!

I know exactly what you mean! I simply had it that big since I was still testing it! I will remake the blink and stamina bar hopefully by the next update! Thanks for all your feedback and support!

Hmm. Cool! Thanks!

No problemo!

Is this better so far?
(Still need to move them all into place, I'm just showcasing the size!)

Yea, that seems good.
