Hi, yes mod is still ticking along (if at a very slow pace), I'll likely put a general update on over the coming weeks.

XashXT offers up a few more options other than graphical upgrades that can benefit gameplay; things such as mirrors, 'real' security cameras, portals, physics, huge environments and a number of other quality of life things which are a real benefit from a mapping standpoint. I agree it's a pain that it can't run from Steam but when packaged up correctly (Signal Lost is a perfect example of this) it's relatively easy to install and get going.

The mod definitely takes place prior to Gina's death, who know's maybe we'll find out exactly what happened to her... ;)

Missed that one here! Cheers Urby :)

If you go back through the previous articles you'll see that I've played around with HD models previously and decided that LD models are the way forward Crossfire.

No discord I'm afraid, maybe in the future...

A long way off I'm afraid!

Just played through this and I loved every second of it! I can't wait for the full release. Amazing work!

Yes! Still pushing forward, I’ll look to put an update up through August ;)

This is looking amazing! Keep it up, can’t wait to play it.

Ha yeah the UV is slightly off, I took the face map directly from the player model in Decay so had to do a bit of shunting about, she’s got strong eyebrow game too which I’m still debating changing lol

This looks awesome, really hyped to play this!

Yes and no really; Decay took place pretty early in the scale of the whole disaster, in my head this takes place after Gina and Collette have done there thing.

I’m sensing a hidden Easter Egg is in the pipeline 😅

That’s be awesome, I’ll DM you 🙂

I totally forgot about that! I need to play around with the arena I’m planning these guys to appear in to decide how I want their attacks to work. Got a few ideas on the go tho 😉

He’s based off the Shaft code which I’ve absolutely got you to thank for ^_^ debating adding in an electrical attack too similar to the vorts but not fully settled on that yet.

Awesome update, can’t wait to play through the new demo. And congrats on Core Decay too, really looking forward to both projects! Keep it up pal

Loving the detail on this, awesome work pal!

Looks amazing! Can’t wait to get my hands on the next chapter!

Enjoyed every second of this, great level design, fantastic atmosphere and a different experience from the usual HL2 mod, definite Alien Isolation vibes at times. Great work!

Cheers! It’s using Uberduck AI voices and then tweaked in Audacity afterwards, I’m pretty pleased with it, took a lot of faffing to get a sound I was happy with!

Yeah guilty as charged on that one ^_^ score one for late night mapping ha!

Cheers buddy, Echoes was a massive inspiration for me so if I can do half of what you did with that I’ll be happy chappy =)

Cheers 23! No not the same area as Blue Shift, although Barneys do seem to gravitate towards them it seems ha!

Great work with this, love the amount of variety you guys have put in. Just wondering if you're planning on incorporating any of SOHL features into this?

Happy Birthday Dude! I'll defo be sure to hit you up once I'm ready for testing to start :)

Awesome and beautiful work as always Jane, I love your mapping style!

That’s a big compliment, thank you!

Cheers for the kind words. This is actually the 3rd version of this section, took me around 4-6 hours all in I think. I tend to build the complex parts like the generator in separate maps then will copy it in and work around it.
