Isolation : Zero mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Hello, it’s been a while since our last article. Some of you might think we are dead, but we’re still kicking and working harder than ever. Some things have changed, some of them not, but we do have some things to say.

As some people know, Isolation : Zero mod is currently in the freezer. The reason for this decision was my lack of experience in team management and other team things. BUT this does not mean that Isolation : Zero is canceled or something. We are currently working on another I:Z related project, which can help me and my team to earn some experience on working a mod so we can do better in I:Z. I’m glad to introduce you to our new project called Isolation : Zero – Breach.

What is I:Z – Breach? This is a prequel-spinoff about one of our valuable characters from I:Z. The story of a mod tells us about a Civil Protection Chief/Metropolice Chief (Elite Metrocops from E:Z2) – 0507 or Servitor-13, a week before Gordon Freeman appears in City 17. The Combine sends 0507 to an abandoned sector in City 17 to find a leaked data drive before Combine forces go in to suppress the resistance in the sector. The main idea of Breach story is the average day from the eyes of a Metrocop Chief and their routine. This mod is an appetizer before Isolation : Zero, and to compliment the I:Z story and have some characters from the main mod. If you have any questions about our projects, I’m ready to answer you in the comment section.

What about progress and maps? We’re planning to make 6 or 7 maps for Breach, 3 of them are already art-passed and 2 of them are in the blockout stage. A big shout out to our mappers Ellent and Timber, they're doing a great job art-passing and scripting. They are making Breach development much faster.

From current public materials, we have three tracks from the Breach OST by our composer Jackob Eriksson.

I hope you've enjoyed our progress, but remember, what you see is not finished, its all WIP.
