1. NOTE: All future updates from 0.5 onwards will be found in the Alternate Link section below the direct download section, as I had to transfer to a separate system due to large file sizes.
2. What is Sonic Reconstruction?
Sonic Reconstructiion is my attempt to completely overhaul all of Half Life 2's and MMod's sound effects bit by bit, autodidactively teaching myself Sound Design in the process.I'm aiming for a contemporary style of sound design to enhance the game's oppressive atmosphere and hopefully bring the sonic character of the game up to a modern standard.
Gunshots, Foley, Ambiences, Creatures, Physics, everything will be redesigned from the ground up using only my own recordings and CC0 sound effects that I then edit, mix, layer and implement.
Currently the mod is still in the early work in progress stages but it is usable and makes a noticable difference during gameplay.
3. What does it sound like?
