Steel Halo is now finally available to play! We've got one or two dependancy issues to solve, so proper download links will be available later tonight, however the test server is set up and ready to go, and is set up to stream you everything you will need to play. Start UT2004, and add this IP address to your favorites:

64.142.120.83

Log in, have a go, and see what you think! There's quite a bit it will need to download initially, so if you're worried about it, wait until the downloadable package is made available. Enjoy!

For those of you wanting a Kanonball fix, I warmly invite you to come and test the latest offering from the team who brought you Kanonball - Steel Halo, a new gametype for Unreal Tournament 2004, available now for download here - Steel-halo.com

Please check the Steel Halo link on ModDB for more information!

An upload here to mddb will be available shortly!

We're currently packaging Steel Halo for public beta release - stay tuned!

The new look Steel Halo website is up and running - expect to see more content over the few weeks, as we premiere Steel Halo at the eGames and Electronic Expo 17-19th Novemeber.

Our first public beta will be released before the end of the month - huzzah!

Now that our contractual obligations have been fulfilled on an unnamed UT project, work on Steel Halo has recommenced with a vengance - we're getting ready for a november release, to coincide with the eGames and Electronic Expo to be held here in Melbourne, Australia, where the Steel Halo team is based. So expect to see some new screenshots here very soon...and don't forget to come visit us on our forum...please note the URL change too Steel-Halo.com!!!

Good news - I'va manged to track down the source code, and coincidentally may have found someone who is interested in maintaining it! I agree the linux server is probably the first thing to tackle, however I believe there are still enough issues with the existing code that no port to linux code eve hope to fix...so it may be a long process! I'll discuss things with my team to determine if we want to open source the project...we're currently using SourceForge for Steel Halo, and we will probably move Kanonball to it as well.

Hmm never thought about releasing the source code to Kanonball for Half-Life before...never thought anyone would be intereted :) Ultimately that's been our greatest difficulty with Half-Life...keeping up with all of the patches...with a mod as radical to the core gaming experience of Half-Life, we suffered greatly each time something new came out...

Let me take a look through my archives to make sure I still have the source code first...then I'll speak to my team about it. I'd happily support it - there was talk some time ago about doing a Kanonball final release...mostly unifying the art assets and cleaning up the installer, as well as posting the source code...looks like we should ressurect the discussion :)

The move to UT2K4 is a positive one - what we've been able to achieve in 8 months far eclipses what we did on using Half-Life. And with UT2K7 just around the corner, the future looks very bright indeed...

Please check Moddb.com for more information on the latest game from the makers of Kanonball. Also, check out Primalclarity.com for something that should give you hope!

www.steel-halo.com is our current development site - it's a little sparse atm, but the forums work well :) Come in and say hi - we might even give you the link to the internal beta!

Well well well - a friend recently sent me this link and said there was some activity with Kanonball...I had no idea there was still such an interest in the game still...I hope you will all be pleased to know that we here at Primal Clarity hav not given up on Kanonball...in fact, we are developing a game that is weeks away from its first release that is remarkably similar to Kanonball, and I invite you all to come check it out at www.steel-halo.com (just forums for now...but an internal beta is available if you know where to ask :)...it's for UT2k4, and let me tell you, this is closer to the game I wanted to make than anything we ever did with Half-Life...come see for yourself!
