The Antagonist's Story: Nova Prospekt

After 2.5 years of development, welcome to the prequel of the adventure map An Antagonist Story: Anticitizen One. Set at and during the chapter “Nova Prospekt”, you and your team of Metropolice have been sent to the coastal prison find and shell out rebel bases, and follow through with any... unforeseen consequences.

The raid on Black Mesa East was a success, although the Freeman has not been found. As a Union Prospector, as called by citizens, you have been drafted to Nova Prospekt to root out resistance hideouts in City 17.

(For notes on playing in Gmod, see bottom of description)

Please note that this map was designed for Half Life 2 and Episode 1, but is playable in Garry’s Mod. For a better experience, I recommend
-Disabling addons (or at least gameplay addons)
-Disabling god mode
-Disabling give weapons and suit on spawn
-Setting max ammo to about 300
-If you want, you can play on a gamemode that simulates Half Life 2

The physics are slightly different, but won’t hinder you. Since HUD hints don’t work in Gmod, just remember your flashlight, you can crouch jump, and you can press your use key to climb cables (by default “E”).

Gmod doesn’t take advantage of Half Life’s autosave system, however I have implemented a feature that will teleport you to the last checkpoint, as well as give you starting weapons. Be aware that this teleport system does not reset the game to when the checkpoint was activated, therefore time will have passed as usual. If you want a fresh restart on the map, simply restart it. If you do happen to have any issues with it, you can noclip back to the same spot.

Also, this map is not designed for multiplayer. If you want to give it a whirl, go ahead, but I will not be troubleshooting multiplayer issues.

If you do have any non-multiplayer related issues, please leave a comment and I will do my best to troubleshoot. If you have feedback, please let me know as well, as this is what helps me level up my environment design.

I'm not one to usually ask this sort of thing, but if you enjoyed this map, it would mean the world to me if you could share this with your friends and perhaps leave a positive rating. I've worked real hard on this map and would love for as many people as possibly to try a new adventure.


Finally, if you enjoy props, cosplay or environment design, my work can be found at planetalexanderprojects.com or on Instagram, @planetalexanderprojects

Thank you all for being a part of this new journey.

For those who may have trouble understanding the custom dialogue, here is a transcript:

[Office room, launch sequence] “Shell launch in 3, 2, 1. Shell launch.”
[After launch incident] “You. Investigate the prison sector and submit a damage report.”
[Entering prison screening room] “As part of the Xen 24 protocol, these doors are closed to contain infections. You will provide assistance in exterminating any threats. Now unjam that door.”
