Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" will celebrate its 20th anniversary later this year and although there has been no official announcement of new video game featuring the license, some dedicated Half-Life 2 modders have created Jurassic Life.
According to the Jurassic Life page on Moddb.com, players will take on the role of Robert Muldoon in the new game. As Muldoon player will be in charge of the safety of the park in linear adventure with Resident Evil-like moments of suspense and fear.
The small development team has been working on the project for over six years and have recently released a big update about the mod. The team has made the game vehicles drivable and have created new weapons and made other weapons useable like the machete and SPAS12.
Here is the team's official announcement regarding the mod and their newest video:
"What you will see it the fruit of collaboration between several member this year. We finished the explorer, drivable, and new weapons, usable, like the machete and SPAS12, which has been redone. We also advanced a lot with NPC, our character models; Nedry and Hammond are still in progress but have advanced much more and are included in the game.
New fauna has been added, birds, insects, crocodiles, and, of course, many new dinosaurs, animated, and hostiles.
We are also working on a whole new AI for dinosaurs, so the most clever of them will patiently hide so he can ambush you when you feel safe. All levels have been greatly improved, with better lights, better design to enhance your experience. Optimizations have naturally also been done to, in fact they take up a lot of the mappers time as each individual object has to be addressed and given the properties to give the smallest amount of mark on the performance while still looking good."
