Well, well, isn’t this just like old times.
After over a decade and a half, it’s time I returned to creating Half-Life upgrades. Some of this content started life as part of the now defunct Half-Life Improvement Team and before that, my own content upgrades.

Support this project
While this is a passion project and a creative outlet for myself, it’s a ton of work in a world where existing isn’t cheap. If you can help me buy food and pay my bills, you can do so on or . I can bribe you with cute dog pictures to sweeten the deal.
Commissions (or hire me?)
I’m open to doing commissions; if you want some asset recreated with higher resolution textures and detail, or if you want something new created from scratch for Half-Life, please get contact me.
Alternatively, if you’re looking to hire an experienced web developer and designer, please get in touch.
Questions and answers
-
So what is this?
-
Models, textures, sprites, and so on for Half-Life, its expansions, and some third-party mods.
-
Why are you doing this?
-
Because I love Half-Life and I have unfinished aspirations. I’m doing this for myself first and foremost, but I enjoy sharing my work in the hope that it helps someone out there.
-
Is this a mod?
-
No, not exclusively. Most of these are intended to be dropped into the base game, expansions, and third-party mods to upgrade their visuals. That said, I have a set of configurations and scripts to play the official games using the Featureful SDK that I’ve been developing and primarily testing against. I might look at some additional possibilities, but since this is already a lot of work, that’s farther down the line and likely to build off of one of the existing third-party single player campaign reworks.
-
Can I provide constructive criticism?
-
If you’re considerate about it, sure. If you have some good ideas that I like, I may take those on board, but I’m doing this primarily for myself and you’re under no obligation to use to my work if you don’t like it.
-
Can I make requests? Can you rig this model for me? Can you port this?
-
Generally no, unless it happens to align with my goals here or you’re paying me. I have limited time and energy.
