For the past year I've been working on a mod for a STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl PC game.
Stalker was in development since 2002 and was shipped in 2007 still unfinished, this gave the grounds for growth of a large modding community around that title, producing a lot of updates to bring the game in line with modern technology.
When I first entered the modding scene, those stand alone mods were scattered all over the message boards and it was really hard to track and apply them. So I joined forces with other artists with intention of brining most of the community work on a surface and make it more accessible, so we can turn Stalker from an underrated and buggy title to a cool new game anyone can enjoy.
This is not a mod in traditional sense, more of an unofficial update, trying to fix what it can, with the main story and gameplay intact. It focuses mostly on visuals (skyboxes, sun/moon effects, UI), so any critique from fellow Conceptart members about weather system and user interface changes is appreciated :yayca:
Mod can be seen and downloaded here:

The game is really different, gives outsider's experience, almost depressing at some point. I think every artist should play it once.
