Happy Holidays! Have a Present. article about current and upcoming additions to Half-Life Beyond!

Posted by on

Next batch of additions to Half-Life Beyond is here!

As this year draws to a close we wanted to take a moment to talk about more of the progress so far so let's take a look at some of it below!

We've expanded the graphical settings menu with more options, such as resolution scale and the option to turn off motion blur. FOV slider has been moved to the gameplay options tab since it is more related to the player's view. The game will now also auto adjust the settings to best suit your current hardware upon launching it for the first time!

GraphicsOptions


We implemented Logo Sprays with the addition of being able to change their color to any color you want rather than just having preset color options, and added a new type of animated sprays: 2 animated sprays are currently available and can be obtained by completing challenges tied to them in the Extras menu! Skin preview recieved a minor visual update aswell.


Various details have also been added or tweaked further, like Suit Modification Station's "flames" effect, and made parts of weapons emit light where it makes sense.

Also added a notification to the right side of your screen whenever you complete a challenge, followed by a sound effect that temporarily reduces the volume of the other sound effects


And plenty of QoL improvements like faster to use Suit Mod Stations, oversights fixed and more! and a Holiday themed extra that will be activated from the 25th of December of each year until the first day of a new year arrival. Happy Holidays!

I hope you have licensing agreements with Valve, otherwise you'll get hammered legally.

Looks cool though - good luck!

Are you using VGUI2?
Coz I spent years redoing VGUI1 to have mod compatible with even WON HL but really wanted to make this stuff possible (
