A Half-Life Alyx Campaign

You are Dr. Smithers from Black Mesa,
ex-scientist gone rogue after the resonance cascade incident.
Now, under-cover as a custodian, you managed to salvage crucial
hardware to rebuild a secret lab within a decommissioned subway station.

Once colleagues with the infamous Gordon Freeman,
you condemn him for the destruction of Black Mesa and alien invasion.
Now, your only desire is to find refuge in the Fiji islands after receiving a
postcard from your niece proclaiming that the Combine has yet to find its location.
And since local travel has been halted, you must find another way there.
​Fortunately, teleportation is your specialty.

Just finishing up my second to last scene which is AMAZING haha.  It's hopefully something new that you guys will enjoy and have never really seen but I gotta still work out some kinks and bugs, and add some more detail.  Otherwise, I'm not sure how I'll be able to top this for my last sequence, but I already have some ideas.  I've been watching a lot of custom map videos (shout out to skummeh on youtube), and looking for ideas and stuff to make my campaign even better.  Nice to see the Half life Alyx community still thriving with custom maps almost every day.  In any case, still working hard and to be very honest, I want to finish asap because this is taking up a LOT of my time.  Although I really enjoy mapping, I may have to take a big break after finishing this, (starting to get back aches).  There is a dilemma however.  My campaign will most definitely be over the 2 gig limit for uploading onto the workshop so I'm not sure how to upload the full campaign other than splitting it into parts which I would like to avoid.  If anyone has suggestions, let me know in the comments.  Till next time.

Currently working on the second to last scene.  Without giving too much away (spoiler alert), at first, it was going to be more of a simple sequence of events where you would be chased.  But it has grown to be much more than that because I have too many ideas I want to create still.  I can say happily that it has turned out to be amazing and hope you guys will have a lot of fun with it.  It'll take maybe another 2 weeks to finish it.  Then I'm off to finish the final sequence of the campaign so keep hanging in there! I promise it will be worth it.  Release date is still hopefully in the Summer, but may possibly be beginning of Fall =[.  I really just don't want to compromise any of my ideas which I still have so many.  I'll try to update more and add some pictures but every time I get to the computer I just start working on my campaign.  So if you don't hear from me, I'm hard at mapping!  If you guys have any questions, just comment below and I will try to reply as fast as I can.

Finished going over maps 1-5 and am pleased to announce it is all playable.  Will still need to optimize further and add minor details/sounds but am very happy with the outcome.  Extremely excited for people to try it soon and thinking about releasing a demo possibly.  Currently working on the last part of the campaign which may take a couple of months.  Will be adding some work in progress pics soon so stay tuned!

​Per request, I thought I'd do an updates section so people can track how the campaign is going.  It's been over a year now since I've been working on this campaign.  Things are coming along nicely so far, currently re-going over some of the maps and adding details and optimizing.  I still have the final scene to create but I'm organizing ideas everyday on how to finish it all.  I am very happy with the first 6 maps so far and I hope you will be too.  There are a lot of little details I added so please take your time when you play.  It is still on track to be finished before summertime this year.  I'll give little updates here and there as I get closer to completing the campaign!  If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to answer them in the next update.  Thanks!
