Miss this mod a lot. Lots of Sourcemods have become very nostalgic for me, and this one joins the list. The hub was so scary.
I think the most amazing thing was the callback to The Event in Village, released in 2009, which shows how long I've been playing HL2 mods, but at the same time gave me total whiplash and unexpected happiness. The first map, 'Winter Intrusion' made me think about TEV, and suddenly I see a direct reference to it...such a coincidence.
I saw this mod in the Eye Candy 2 competition map 'Idyllic' and got a sudden rush of nostalgia, which made me so happy. Sweet HL2 mod memories ;)
I really enjoyed this mod! I had no idea it was connected to Dissolution (a mod I fondly remember) and Lunar Descent (a mod that I haven't played yet) until after I finished, heh.
You tried something different, and it worked out pretty well!
Beautifully sets the scene of whats to come.
Beta seems like the theatrical version of the game with a licensed soundtrack. It has some moments that left me in awe, just like in the retail version. However, I could only suffer so much death in gunfights to a point where it's unfair. Fighting specific enemies felt like insta-death if you weren't careful.
At this point in time the beta is definitely dated, with some odd or difficult ways to progress that involved parkour-level platforming, but I like going back and looking at how far the game has progressed. Though you can't beat spacebattles.
Eyaura, I can't thank you for providing the HL2 mod community with a breath of fresh air. This takes me back to the days where I could scroll up and down this website, looking for a new mod to play and stumbling upon this exact one eleven years ago. Truly a big achievement from you. Hope this opens many doors.
I have a review on Steam btw, check it out!
Whoo! Can't wait to finally play this mod soon.
Since HL: Alyx tools are out as of today, I would love to see an updated version of this mod in VR. It would be fantastic.
Oh hell yeah. Played the demo years ago, now can't wait to try this out.
Loved the new improvements to the maps, and graphics! The new music is pretty good as well. Didn't get stuck as much this time, so that's good! Also liked the transportation ride near the end...made me think "did I really go through all that?"
Only minor inconvenience was what Guest has said, defeating the enemies on the ship with the intense bloom lighting was difficult. I'd like to add-on that the turret gun you control was hard to position in the right way without getting killed.
Can't wait until the full release!
I can't wait for this mod. I played the very first beta and still appreciate the hard work went into it. Even after all these months and years I'll log into this website just to look at the updates that I might've missed. Keep it up, and I'll definitely be playing it once it releases! :)
This is exciting! I've appreciated all of your progress so far. It's been a long while since you've released the beta and I still come back to playing it once in a while.
Remember to take breaks periodically so you don't strain your back too much. Standing up once in a while works.
Good luck!
Yay another update! I'm always excited when I see another update from you. Love this new one.
Whooo! Good progress. Even in my small-ish house map, I too have to recompile several times just to get the lighting right.
Hey Eyaura, your progress every month keeps me looking forward to your final release! Even after all these months and years, you continue to surprise everyone with your awesome work!
And man I feel the same way about mapping. My first real map consisting of a small hut next to a road corner took me about a few weeks to finish. That's after finding out the method to optimize the inside and outside area. Quite some work.
So rock on Eyaura!
I can wait Eyaura! The more time spent, the better the mod will be
I'm eagerly awaiting the abstract portions of this mod. c:
Stunning! I like seeing every update. Makes me wonder how vast the world is going to be.
*UPDATE* I loaded up wc_08 in console and the map began right after the elevator opens. However previously, it didn't load the next map from that point. Odd.
*SPOILERS*
I'm on wc_07 and I'm in the sewer section after going down the long elevator, and there doesn't seem to be any way to progress. Am I overlooking something or is the next map supposed to load? I see a grate in the water but that's not opening, and I noclipped around the area and there's nowhere else to go.
Time to finally play this!
Neat! I should replay this mod sometime. Always a classic.
