Pirates Vikings and Knights 2
Pirates Vikings and Knights 2 (Or PVKII) is a Valve Source Engine Game that started as a Mod for Half-Life 2, and has since become a full free game on Steam.

As a teenager, I was so inspired by the original Mod for Half-Life 1 that I made several levels for it. Years later, when a new team announced a sequel, I decided to join them in my spare time and remake my two favourite (and coincidentally fan favourite) levels.

Island is a "Booty" level, where three teams compete to capture chests of treasure. The more treasure a team collects, the quicker their counter ticks down, so the first team to get their counter to zero wins.

The Knights start with all six chests in their throne room, but a much larger counter than Pirates and Vikings.

The level layout is circular, with alternate routes to take if players wish to try a more sneaky approach to capturing chests.




All textures, materials, props, fx and the level design are my own.
