Description

Further Data is a brand new take on Half-Life: Uplink - Valve's demo of Half-Life. It's a personal project of mine featuring new maps, new voice lines, and miscellaneous assets.

To play, press the "Steam Workshop" button on the main menu and Further Data will appear. If you use the old UI, use the command "map fd01".

Epilepsy Warning

There is a brief scene of flashing that's a bit harsher than usual BM gameplay. I've toned it down for the public release. This occurs immediately after the intro text. Taking a few steps forward will trigger an event that causes the screen to flicker black for about 5 seconds.

Credits

The project was mostly solo as I created all maps and assets myself, however I did have other assorted help.

Voice Cast

Michael Hillard - Scientists
Nick Gikas - Security Guards

Known Issues

If you crash on startup, check your mods. A common mod that causes crashes with FD is "More Monitors."
Text strings aren't localized. I did this to minimize chances of game-breaking mod conflicts.
Guards speak in 2 different voices. I did this minimize chances of game-breaking mod conflicts (custom response rules script required).
Map FD02:Sometimes when you shoot the explosive crate behind the zombie, the wall debris can vibrate. Working on a fix for this.

Additional Information (Synonyms!)
It's pronounced Further Data, NOT Further Data.
Most of this was made in 2015 and 2017, predating Xen and many Xengine features. This can show sometimes.
Barring voice overs (excluding the human grunts ^~^), all content, from maps, models and music, were all created by me.
Most of the blockout/layout was made in a day or so, since I originally wanted a super quick project to last a month. That didn't happen.
You can listen to and download the soundtrack for free via Bandcamp[fightingimpulsion.bandcamp.com].

Not to forget the way you HAVE TO initiate the ending sequence which made me feel like a moron after all I achieved.

Nice rework of the original Uplink demo. I liked the enhancements (especially the small downstairs office corner after getting out from the first elevetor) and some small story changes differing from the original.

Still I think this would shine even brighter with more polish. Some very remarkable scenes where missing (like the vent falling down from the Gargantua walking by or the zombies pushing the big computers down to block your path. Also there needs to be more work put into the ambient sounds (if you come out of the radiated sewers back to the container area there's no ambient sound at all and you can only hear the slaves talk, or if you go up in the very first elevator there's some kind of mall ambient sound which I really don't understand).
