Portal: Prelude.

[popo]

I saw this on a better forum and thought you guys might like to hear about it. It's basically a story mode mod for Portal which takes place before GLaDOS.


"I'm sending this message because this website is among the most popular websites talking about the Half-Life universe. I found you via the Valve Developer Community, and I need to ask you a favor. We're a team of three frenchies, and we are happy to announce that our current project, Portal: Prelude is nearing its conclusion.

You may ask yourself, "what the hell is this all about" ? Portal: Prelude ? Never heard about this, huh ? Yes of course, and this is exactly the point. You never heard about it because it was developped in the dark, and kept secret until almost fully finished and polished. Now, the game is nearly finished and we are looking for sponsors to help us promote the game around the Internet and provide hosting if possible. First, we would really appreciate you to help us promote our work, by relaying the news and offering a link to our official trailer. And in a second time, if you are able to provide us with a hosting mirror for the game files (approximately 750 MB) please let us know by sending an email to [e-mail].

Here's a list of media you can use to build a news :
- The body message here (if needed) : www.portalprelude.com/2008/09...-all-about.php
- The trailer : www.portalprelude.com/videos.php
+ Vimeo : www.vimeo.com/1739740
+ Dailymotion : www.dailymotion.com/video/x6r...ler_videogames

- The soundtrack : www.portalprelude.com/soundtrack.php
- The team : www.portalprelude.com/team.php
- The forums : www.portalprelude.com/forum/

The game is set to be released somewhere around the end of september, or the beginning of october.
We hope you'll take us seriously and help us to get the visibility we need.

Sincerely,
— NykO18 (Portal: Prelude Manager)"

Nice mod. Though i'll rather wait for the sequel to Portal before playing it again.

There isn't going to be a sequel to portal.

A better forum?

lies...

Admittedly, Facepunchstudios is a better forum.

Team of three frenchies? lol What does that have to do with the game other than they helped in creating it? *keeps reading* Erm... I think I'll wait and see if this one is true. I don't really trust anyone that says that they've been keeping their projects in the dark.

hmm.. I checked out facepunchstudios and all though it has more um.. categories and sub catgories on it I wouldn't say it's better. It's just somewhat different than this one and it has just about everything categorized on it. Of course it could just be the fact that I don't like their forum. I prefer to stick with 4pp after all I put my time into watching their videos live and making an account here. I apolagize if this hurts anyone's feelings but I feel I should stick with the one person or people that caught my attention in the first place. And that would be 4 player podcast.

Edit: Plus I like chatting with the people in here.

Look up some of the Orange Box interviews. And just so you know; Unless you've done 50% of the coding, it's not a game.

Facepunch is a much better forum because of the amount of people and general quality of the posts. You can't have a real discussion topic here without someone like someone doing a stupid meme or Halfjaw showing up.

Not a good way to start in our forums, eh?

i'll be honest, no you didn't.
you just like the attention, and so you acknowledged it in order to fix your mistake but still seem kind of legit as a fan.
... I DISAGREE WITH YOU
