Penguin Smash is a simple Half-Life 2 mod that broke me out of the “pigeon hole” of thinking in complete realism. The group I’m working with on it is a very creative bunch. It is nice to work on something that is wacky and fun in order to keep the creative juices flowing. Its only been in development for about a month (beginning of August ’08) and it is really starting to take shape already.

The whole premise to the game, at least in the first alpha, is to simply beat up other penguins and keep them off of a specified area of the map (the ‘hill’). The player with the most time on the hill by the time the round ends, or the player who stays on the hill for a specified time period (5min by default) wins the game. The winner isn’t won simply by beating up the opponents and racking up the most kills.
