Raindrop

I only just found out about this, and from the reactions I got when I linked a few members here, I'd guess I'm not the only one who was in the dark. So, without letting myself go into longpost territory:

Probably the most visually impressive Source mod I've seen so far. It's absolutely beautiful, the environments own, and the story sounds interesting.

Some teasers to get you started:

Note - No, it's not Pripyat, though you could be forgiven for thinking so. It is, however, based very heavily on Pripyat. When you think about it, this kind of makes sense - since they're both supposed to have been model workers' cities, basically.

Reminds me of a map in CoD4 that took place in some semi-destroyed apartment complexes.

Looks amazing from what I've seen.

Like I said, they used Pripyat for reference; CoD4's levels actually took place there. If you've played STALKER, it also features the city.

So the area in STALKER and in COD4 may actually look mostly the same?
and which stalker?
Damn, I gotta get my copy of Clear sky back from my friend :U

SoC. Not sure if CS has Pripyat, though it probably does.

I'm also not sure if they even look entirely the same, I'd hazard a guess not. They probably changed the actual city layout for gameplay purposes, though the resemblance is obvious.

I thought the first image was a real hallway and you were going to tell us how a single raindrop turned into a hurricane etc. etc. etc.

I can't wait for this.

This looks great, and the backstory is pretty cool too

Holy asstesticles

That first picture of the interior made me think "lol shoop" but the closer I look, the more plausible it seems.

Now I just need to see how it looks in motion; Source always looks better in stills than in gameplay.

Holy shit, this is the source engine?!
