Video: an enthusiast showed progress in adapting Half-Life: Alyx for normal control on a PC without VR

In May last year, an enthusiast under the pseudonym Konqithekonqueror untied Half-Life: Alyx from VR and added weapons and missing animations from Half-Life 2 to the game. True, they took a more difficult path – they tried to adapt the project to standard control using the keyboard and mouse with minimal changes to the gameplay.

In a recent video, enthusiasts showcased progress in creating their creations. They published a 9-minute segment of the Half-Life: Alyx walkthrough, where the main character Alyx fights enemies and explores the world. Enthusiasts have worked on the first-person view, bringing it closer to what is used in conventional shooters (not VR); changed several animations, such as reloading and using stairs; and implementing the ability to jump and move freely using the keys on the keyboard.
