Welcome to the official homepage for The Core.

The Core is a modification for Half-Life, currently being developed by Scotch & Coffee Studios. It will use the Spirit of Half Life engine Version 15a4. This mod is being designed primarily for the Steam version of Half-Life, but should work using the original WON version of the game.

The Story

The player assumes the role of Maurice Andrews, a high level engineer stationed in the deep central complex of Black Mesa. Set 2 days after the resonance cascade disaster, Maurice finds himself waking up in a make-shift infirmary, somewhere within the high security labs. He is then sent on a mission to find an assist a group of staff who are fighting their way to the surface. Playing as an engineer and being trapped in a high security area, the player must not only fight the creature roaming the halls, but also repair machinery, override security systems, or sometimes simply find the right key to continue towards the surface.

Requirements

You will need a very basic PC to run The Core, though it would be best if not run in software mode since may of the models will take advantage of transparent textures. The mod is being designed primarily using the Steam version of HL, though it should be playable using the WON version of the game.
