Overview

Half-Life 2 Shantytown takes place in an imagined future reality where the earth has been largely overtaken by a jungle of poisonous fungus. Humanity has taken refuge in towering vertical cities protected by massive walls that spray fungicide into the jungle to keep it at bay. A heartless plutocracy controls these cities from the highest levels, while the poor and underprivileged live in squalid conditions in the lower levels. Our story takes place on the tenth level of one of these cities. Technology is more advanced than it is today, but it is only available to the wealthy people at the top. Most people in the city make do with run-down, dilapidated 21st century technology.

You control the heroine of the story, Ellie, a young inventor and her floating robot companion, T.E.D., who follows Ellie around wherever she goes.

History

From start to finish it was about 5 months. However we [the students] had many other assignments and personal projects to do at the same time.
