Corwin · 12-10-2008, 10:02 AM

Mona: The Assassin is an unofficial Max Payne 2 expansion featuring 5 original, action-packed levels.

Website: http://www.monatheassassin.com
Release date: January 1st 2009

Mona Sax is a contract-killer, a job at which she excels. When a Mafia boss sends his army of mobsters after her, assaulting her hideout and forcing her to flee through the city streets, it gets personal and real nasty.

From an abandoned asylum, through the suburban streets of the Big Apple, to the Mafia social club, unleash her destructive power and make them regret to have ever messed with Mona: The Assassin.

WOW Corwin

that is some wosome level design, is that your work? And after Seven Serpent you said you would go to a more recent engine, what made you change your mind?

I'm guessing this is one of those mods he's finishing off before doing that.

Nah, what you see on those screenshots is the work of Aavenr, CShedd, Jokke_r and MK. The only level art I did was finishing the asylum level, and you can't see that on the shots.

Quakis is right, this is something that we've been working on for a few years, it's a coincidence that every project I was involved in gets completed these days.

alexgk · 12-10-2008, 04:40 PM

Pretty impressive shots

Zom-B · 12-10-2008, 07:04 PM

The levels look great, but some of the objects look a bit strange without shadows.

Oh i see, them cudos for you and your team because that is a impressive work. About the new engine do you have any in mind? Crysis perhaps

In Max2 engine objects that can move can't cast shadows (they can but when you move it the shadow stays in place so is best to disable shadows for movables), only characters have dynamic shadows.

Sayantan · 12-10-2008, 11:59 PM

The moment I saw the first screenshot, I was like "Hey wait a minute, I saw this place before"

Good work people. I'll download it now.

Edit:- Shit, suddenly I'm really missing ThorX .... and his GTA mod. Guess he's still on with his Silent Hill stuff.

Edit:- And which one is Carl's??

Corwin · 12-11-2008, 02:45 AM

Carl created the asylum level, which was completed by MK and me. For instance, what you can see on the 3rd screenshot is all MK's work, but some of the other asylum shots on the website show Carl's work (though the morgue was also MK's).

Aavenr_ · 12-11-2008, 03:27 AM

To say we started this thing with Remedy's Mixuk in November 2004. It has only taken what... 4 years to drive it home.

Kudos to Corwin, the one guy you can count to come and save unfinished projects. Same with the latest serpent.

Right. It comes down to day lighting being incredibly tricky with this engine. There's a reason you didn't see any in MP1 or MP2.

Sayantan · 12-11-2008, 04:33 AM

Kudos to all of you I'm still being able to view a page in the Mod section in 3drealms forum. After what?? 1 year??

NeoPain · 01-02-2009, 05:01 AM

Realy there is no link in "Download" label. Give us a link please._

Corwin · 01-02-2009, 05:39 AM

You guys need to refresh the monatheassassin.com page by pressing F5, and the links should appear.

NeoPain · 01-02-2009, 06:29 AM

There it is! Already downloading. _

NeoPain · 01-02-2009, 05:09 PM

It took a bit more than hour of gameplay and Hellyeah!!!! this is definetely THE BEST Max Payne 2 mod i ever play. Lighting on realy high level, explosive environment, good directed cutscenes and great level design make the real goal. There is a lot to shoot in this mod but it never gets boring cause it keeps your uptight during all the gameplay and it is realy enjoable._

MP2 is not dead!

Jokke_r · 04-09-2009, 10:10 PM

Heh finally got around playing this, a good solid 45min worth of fun, some cheap deaths and pretty hard overall :P, too bad nobody ever finished that hotel level cshedd was making. Still like my level the best

Lunar Blue · 04-10-2009, 01:04 AM
