The engine's my own, derived from Quake. I reverse engineered and added support for Half-Life maps and Half-Life models. There's tons of networking improvements, since it's on the PSP, after all, has to stay reliable over a relatively shitty connection. It's a highly, highly improved Quake engine running on the PSP, that's what I made and that's what I'll use for it.

I'm mainly looking for people who've had experience with Half-Life mapping to help me out here.

As far as the game design plan goes, it's a multiplayer shooter with some basic freerunning elements. Think CoD4 + Mirror's Edge, or just think of the upcoming shooter Brink. Generic, but I don't give a !@#$%, it's fun.

Is this completely different from Cobalt Runner?  I mean, is it a seperate project or did it evolve from that...

I'm a game artist and don't deal with programming but...

Out of curiosity what motivated you to modify a Quake engine?
Is this a hobby, practice or just a whatever project for programming or am I way off?

I create art assets like concepts, sketches, illustrations and models plus animations.

So I am curios about your approach from an artists perspective.

Also, why the PSP?

What's the song in that first video? Game looks really good too by the way. For some reason I'm attracted to old-school first person shooters a lot. <3

I just do it as a hobby.

I chose the Quake engine because I knew I could modify it to support Half-Life maps and models. With that knowledge in mind, I no longer had to create tools to compile my maps and models, because Half-Life has a huge fanbase and there's tons of developers tools for it. Quake also has a virtual machine for game logic, so I can quickly test my game without having to recompile large amounts of code in C. It's a well-structured engine, with portability and compatibility kept in mind. If you know C, it's a great choice.

I chose the PSP because I prefer low-poly art and making things look good on relatively low-power hardware, and there's a huge homebrew following for the PSP.

This looks awesome, especially for a PSP project. As for people who might have experience mapping half life... I used to use GTKRadiant to map Quake III maps all the time, if I remember rightly, everything is the same process except for exporting the map to a different format yes?

Here is a simple example of something I was making in my very early days (since I don't have shots of anything else): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/Zeldamo/12.png?t=1278828363

Though in all honesty I wouldn't have time to help you right now (too many projects), if you were to ask me at some point in the future I have the ability to help with this.

Most of the map editors for Quake-derivative games are very similar to one another, yes.
