-Found this in my drafts and completely forgot about it-
P17 was planning on releasing a showcase map in tandem with our Part 5 HL2RA remade assets to, well, show off all the newly remade models. But this was going to be a short playable campaign, inspired by Lost Coast. I was tasked with creating a piece to help envision this abandonded fishing village based on a short vingette ones of the lead devs wrote. i look at a lot of images of cliffsides, coastal Norwegian towns, and abandoned fishing villages. As you may noticed, i don't do many backgrounds but i wanted to take a stab at it as it is a weak point of mine (idk, maybe i just don't like making backgrounds?). When i made this draft, i couldn't say why we had to cut it and just ship the remaining assets as is, but I can now safely say, Project17/HL2RA is working with NVIDIA as well as other prominent modders in the community, under Orbifold Studios to create Half-Life 2 RTX, which has been announced for some time now and is looking quite tasty if i can say so myself.
