Posted June 19, 200519 yr From their website: Around November, 2004, several students got together to brainstorm a concept for a total conversion of Valve's Half-Life 2 . After several days of brainstorming, the concept for Eclipse was born. In January of 2005, a group of Guildhall students composed of programmers, artists, and level designers were put together and formed what is now CelTech Studios. It was then that CelTech Studios made the commitment to produce the highest quality game possible in the short amount of time they had - five months. What emerged in late May was a game that is both stunningly beautiful and addictive to play. Eclipse is a third-person total conversion of Valve's Half Life 2 . You play as a young Sorceress named Violet whose father went missing five years back. After learning the secrets of Telekinesis, you are teleported into Auld-Haven, a lush and fertile land where Violet grew up. Your objective is to return to Violet's home where she last saw her father years ago and dig up any clues to his whereabouts. In the broken down tower of her home you discover a journal left by her father. The journal unlocks a handful of secrets that ultimately leads you on a quest to find the ancient teleportation device - the Standing Stones. It looks pretty slick, but you need a damn good gfx card to run it--Radeon 9500 or better. They have screens on their homepage: http://students.guildhall.smu.edu/~eclipse/index.html Their link is slow as hell, so here's the mirror I got it from: http://mirrors-av.club-internet.fr/pub/games/nofrag/halflife2/mods/Eclipse-Setup.exe More mirrors can be found here: http://www.filemirrors.com/search.src?file=Eclipse-Setup.exe&size=239529130
June 19, 200519 yr Seems like a RPG, not really into them but Ill give it a try since IT WAS ON THE FUCKING STEAM UPDATE NEWS LAST FRIDAY. It uses the source engine right ?
June 19, 200519 yr Author OverlordQ']LOL' date=' since when was a 9500 a 'damn good' card.[/quote'] Meh, half the people here say they can't run BF2 at all, so I figured it needed to be pointed out. Anyway, the game is kind of dumb, but well-made. Your power is to pick shit up and magically throw it at the fagot monkeys who run at you. More of a platformer/adventure game than an rpg, and really simplistic, but it looks nice and kills some time. It's quite buggy though. (See: jumping animation) Levels are too dark as well. But I'd say it's worth the download as long as you aren't on dial-up. Another group from the school that released this game plans to release a samurai total conversion, but they're lazy fuckers and can't even be assed to make a decent website. Oh well.
