The Team behind 1187. Where we discuss and plan all that we need to. This is a non public group, just for the dev's and beta testers.
The guys over at Podcast 17 mentioned my small mod, and I have to say, not being some comercial wannabe studio makes me shrug off the comments. I released the demo, which might be the wrong name for it, because I wanted to give the people something to play with, and learn more about maping inthe process. :D enjoy guys, i've cut out the part they talk about us. here's the link to the source:

I don't think they got the basis of it =/. I offered to answer any questions they may have had though.
He said not to play it becuase it gives away maps that they will use. Just like left 4 dead. What Turds.
I know guys they missed alot of stuf I put in the description. The guy who did play the second mod for some reason didn't bother to walk beyond the barn. I always thought the amount of weapons present in the map should give atleast the hint that there are enemies in the map. I know for a fact that if you walk past by the barn, you don't even have to move towards the headcrabs, one of them will always spot the player. Anyway, it would've been nice if they contacted us, but on the other hand I seriously can't get mad at the stuff they say. To me it's more based upon what they expect from mods and developers, they expect that since I seem to maintain a somewhat proffesional look etc, which I do aim for, I am not some corporate prick, I hate elitism and I'm not going to act like one even if I ever do work on some AAA game. Anyway I believe that anytime I release a screenshot I get a lil bit more attention, and this is the thing, when the mod is out and people will actually played the thing, thats when I hope to gain name, because I believe that thats what make developers big, they show the game first. think of it like when cod 1 came out, we all played games like that before, still infinity ward delivered with the game itself and got name because it was so good, kinda happened to half life, although half life did things we havent seen before much and not in the way valve did it. Anyway They do try their best to give acurate critics, screw ups happen somuch, the one thing that bothers me actually is the fact the guy went on about the first map, he never played the second demo, thus the updated version of the first map.
It was funny them trying to gues why I'd release this thing, well at the end they concluded what was one of the reasons I did release all this. which was that I'm still learning making maps and by doing so I create dev maps and I made an x mas map which could be seen as a dev map kind of. well dont let it bother you guys, we're still going strong even with my old vid card, im still mapping my *** off, and soon i'll have a new beta out, I PROMISE
