The game was thought of as dark rather than action adventure, gradually moved towards the latter by the end of hl2 development
This early on there was no goal that you could see from every level that you worked towards as the end of the game such as the citadel, instead it was on a smaller scaler where each level or set of levels had an easily identifiable goal (this was stated to have been a later addition, todo find this reference again?)
 
3 different alien races:
 
Giant Primitive Tribal type insectoid aliens
* DC/Middle east area
* Used hollowed out caterpillar subway as transport, possible influence over dropship design (concept art)
 
Warrior Weaponized alien race
* One creation is the sack ticks, inspired the headcrab canisters, had hoard markings on them for task group and delivery vehicle, the only modelled and programmed entity from this era?
* another creation is The Hoard, some relation to symbols, possibly sentient and able to read
 
Gman Spy race
* Prague-like city with a citadel
 
areas present in this version of the story:
* Chicago (sky scraper took place here, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308783561539059712/669347197120151564/unknown.png)
* Arctic base
* Cairo
* Prague-like alien city with citadel
*  New City
*  Old City
 
characters:
* I. A. Latham
* Possible early alyx
* Based off hl assassins
* Could go invisible, next version of alyx mentions invisibility in the small story outlines
 
Stealth suit hev suit, Different introduction
* Energy shield?
* Waking up in a hospital then broken out by rebels (jacobs ladder possibly inspired this, https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/References:Marc_Laidlaw_emails#On_the_black.2C_leather_suit, also see rtb uncorrected proof below)
* introduction as an agent for the gman race with the stealth suit
