Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware
The series takes place inside the video game Half-Life. Gordon is a real person playing the game in virtual reality. The rest of the characters are all artificial intelligence in the game, who at first don't know that they are inside a video game. Actors played the characters, who improvised plot points and interactions as they went along. The series used enlarged ports of Half Life: Source extended maps[2] played on a Garry's Mod server. Additional actors were employed as stagehands who would ensure technical components, such as map transitions and NPC spawns, worked as they should. The full series' streams have been made available on the wayneradiotv ON DEMAND YouTube channel . No official playlist of these streams currently exists. As of 26th of April, a new series of four streams covering all four acts, featuring commentary from the cast of HLVR: AI, began on the wayneradiotv Twitch channel. It includes full commentary of the Youtube edition of the series, exclusive behind-the-scenes looks at events from the perspective of Wayne's invisible stagehand Mike/Spaghoner, and a Q&A session where Twitch chat members could posit questions to the cast. The Act 1 stream was later edited to include a humourous introduction and uploaded to the wayneradiotv YouTube channel; it lacks the Q&A section of the original stream, but includes all other parts in full with minimal editing. Edited cuts of the other act commentaries will be coming "soon" according to the video's ending.
