Dark Interval is a campaign mod created as an alternate take on Half-Life 2, incorporating selected early story drafts and cut content. We're creating new maps, assets, characters and story beats to fill in the blanks, and to build a coherent story of its own. The mod is released in episodes, the most recent being Dark Interval: Part I - an intro chapter to the bigger picture.

Bad news: despite our earlier promises to release DI Part 2 as 17 maps going from Kleiner's Lab escape to the Depot, the first release will only contain the first 12 maps. It's either this, or never living to see Part 2 release at all.
This also means that Haven and Beach maps from the Wasteland Demo (available on our Discord) won't be included in the first release. Why? Because there are three more maps between them that are not completed.
Good news: we have a release window. And the trailer.
The mod is out of alpha, and in the next few weeks it will enter the final closed beta test, where we'll find and fix bugs, make final adjustments to gameplay and item balance, finalize all the story scenes. How long it will last depends on how many problems we find and how fast we can fix them.
Additionally, Part 2 will include all maps from Part 1, but they won't receive drastic changes on release.

I can see the huge effort u guys been putting in this mod and i cant wait to see the full release! and also i have a question, so when it comes to characters that appear in retail and beta like Alyx are you planning for a voice actor to voice it or using an AI voice tool?
We will not use AI voices, ever.
thank god
Are you guys gonna bring back Combine super soldier?
And I hope the Hydra is still in plans as well
If we do bring back the Super Soldier it'll happen at a later stage, and we've only done preliminary discussion and planning of such things. We may take its concept and do a spin on it, or decide on a faithful recreation, or who knows, maybe it'll finally get leaked or something.
The Hydra is doing well. A lot has changed since our old video on it, and we believe those changes were for the better.
And yeah, why did you reject this concept? THIS concept is really close to the original idea, which was full of darkness and hopelessness, isn't it?
P.S. What about weapons other than OICW? Are you going to implement MP7 prototype, fix SPAS-12 and crossbow having no handles (grips) e.t.c.?
I rejected it because things change.
Following the mod!
whens the next public build, i really wanna play the next half of this journey! also do you plan on merging with the people who made the Coterminus maps?
We're not giving any release date promises that could be broken.
We don't plan to merge with Coterminus, and they are very busy with their own next release, but we've had external help with mapping from Attack Slug.
a question: will there be any cut weapons added in the future? aside from the oicw
Yes
