MINERVA: Episodic, Single-Player Half-Life 2
Radiator and PIES - posted by Cargo Cult on Tuesday June 9 2009
The humble radiator. It's watching you. Wherever you are, it is there - watching, waiting. For PIES.
So now that you know, perhaps it's time to investigate an entirely new mod for Half-Life 2, entitled Radiator. It has a manifesto.
And it has a mirror. And possibly a plan!

At first the concern was reworking gaming engines now it's that and then some that are working with whatever engine and building games to make a message.
Pretty powerful mediums indeed.
Heh...kind of like the "punk rock" of games in that it's fast, short, and to the point (kind of).

I cannot get Radiator to show up on Steam. I've tried installing it and restarting Steam, and even restarted my computer, and it will not appear. The file folder itself does appear where it is meant to, but that is all.

Good Lord, I hope that's not your new apartment! I had no idea the compensation packages at Valve were so lackluster.

Definitely a nice change from your typical First-Person Shooter madness. It was nice to just read the narrative and stare at the stars. Who knew that stargazing could actually be a succesful concept to build a mod on. All in all, a nice way to spend 20 minutes.

Radiator reminded me of a mission in Operation Flashpoint where you were shot down in enemy territory with nothing more than a flare gun and a note showing you how to find polaris.
You then had to navigate by the stars until you could be picked up by friendly forces, kinda dull compared to shooty shooty bang, but incredibly nerve-racking as you were essentially unarmed.
I suspect I shall now always be able to find Orion and Polaris because of this game.

With this and Dear Esther, there's a veritable glut of non-shooty HL2 mods!
Also, Adam, why don't you have a profile at http://www.valvesoftware.com/people.html ...?

He did that to avoid firing sprees.
Recent events showed just how wise that was.

There's a very impressive new episodic single player mod out, called 'Mission Improbable.'

It looks like the guy is a professional level designer, and it really shows. Go play!
