Focus on the first portion of HL2 up to the train station entrance(before the plaza), then make a fancy video showing what you changed and then make it a larger media release.
All you're gonna get here is critique on what you post, so get something done and show it off for more effective responses.
Agreed. More to the point I think the half done media releases or early WIP shots are kinda the wrong way of going about it. Media is nice but when asking or posting on things that have very little change, it tends to bring the wrong point across. What interests people the most is how different this enhancement is from their existing version? While I do think getting critiques on redoing the NPCs/guns and items is a good thing to ask lots of opinions on, I think just working steadily and posting completion shots is a better way of going about it. Then when you have what you consider to be your best submit it and see what people think. You are not building a new game, only refreshing/modernizing an older one so I think there is less input constantly needed along the way.
So all I can say is if you guys got, "a lot more to do on certain areas" then just get it done and then show us your idea of how you want to leave the place when shipped. I think think that would be reasonable and viewers would be more apt to have a more clear interpretation on where you are headed with things. This way people wont be zoomed in on a smaller incomplete portion but they will rather be zoomed out to see the full picture of what you plan to throw at them.
