Summary


Hall of Mirrors is the first total conversion based on the movie Equilibrium. It focuses on implementing for the first time the use of "gun-kata", a martial art involving handguns, and allowing the player to perform it in arenas inspired from the world depicted in the movie.

Challenges


This project taught me a few hard lessons about promoting a project and managing a fan-base. The hype raised by announcing it too early caused some people to break into our server and release an early version of the mod, some others to start a similar mod to concurrence us, using our own stolen assets, and the project leader found his mailbox full of hate-mail and "when does it come out" ones.

On the positive side, it was the first time I had to keep track of the changes to the gameplay made by the other members of the team and create my levels accordingly to make good use of these new gameplay possibilities. It was an good experience.

Exact role


I designed and scripted all of the levels for this mod except the Hall of Mirrors level geometry, which I only slightly edited.
