Well i was just sitting around and thought it would be nice to have a 2d scroller mod for either HL1 or HL2 Single Player with multiplayer of up to 2 people. Don't know if any of you know of the game Ikaruga or not but the concept is a standard 2d scroller with different polarities ( blue and red ) you are able to switch between red and blue colors in which in red mode it will absorb the red enemies bullets and vise-versa with blue. All of this should be pretty easy to make, except for the coder who would have the most work load compared to the maps and modelers.

I'm interested in making this mod and i am basically getting a rough perception if anyone would like to play something like this or maybe contribute to the effort in terms of( Texture Artists, Modelers, Coders, Mappers, Musicians, etc.. ) This mod would look much better in HL2 rather than HL1 but as fluff has informed me a while back the source engine is pretty buggy at the time, which may be otherwise now. If there is enough support and interested people in a mod like this than it may be possible to start up a mod group to make it. But most of all it would require a C++ coder that has Visual Studio ( which may prove difficult to find someone interested in this project to dedicate that much time and effort ).
