Latest News: I've got some bad news...

Hey folks,
It's been a little over a year since you last heard from us here at Ballmen, and I have some bad news: Ballmen is, for all intents and purposes, completely dead. I lost contact with the other two developers about a year ago, and as far as I can tell they have no interest in continuing production of the mod. I have no access to the actual source code and materials for this mod, so unless I can find a way to get in touch with them, it seems that Beta 1.5 will be the final public release of Ballmen.
However, I would not at all be adverse to a revival in the future with a different team, but only if I can get in touch with MovEaxEsp and procure the relevant source files. Get in touch if this interests you.
It was fun working on Ballmen and I hope you guys enjoyed what we did manage to give you. I am afraid it only has a future in the realm of LAN parties and their ilk, and I hope I'm not the only one that still enjoys playing it with a few friends over LAN from time to time.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me with any questions you might have, as I am the only remaining active developer and will do what I can to help you out.
It was fun while it lasted and I want to personally thank all of you who gave us positive feedback, and in particular to the several dedicated community members we had who stuck with us while it was important. Thank you especially to Xenogenetics/Skeetles and [IHQ]Reima for their fantastic support and contributions to Ballmen.
Again, please refer any questions / comments / concerns to me, as nobody else is likely to answer you - you can do this by PMing me here on ModDB, or by sending me an email at ennui [at] halflife2 [dot] net. Thank you for your support over the year or so of our active development :) I hope at least some of you got some decent enjoyment out of our beta builds.
I'll also take this as an opportunity to plug my primary mod project, Half-Life 2: Wars - if you are a fan of the HL universe and of RTS games, go on and check it out :)

Does anyone remember an old SEGA game named 'Vectorman'? :D
I like it :)
If anyone likes this mod and wants something similar get Shattered Horizon. It also has anti-grav and clinging to surfaces.
Sadly I just found out about this mod right at the time as (apparently) it is dying ... :/
Hope you will get the needed source code or find another way to continue this mod`s development, liked what I saw so far, good luck! :)
If this thing were to suddenly come back to life it could perhaps become a favorite in my mind. The wall mechanic is what makes it stand out. Sadly it seems there is no one on so I removed it from my files.
Hey, I know it's asking a lot but will you ever release how you did the wall walking thing, Thanks.
hmmmm... i just stumbled here, and this mod seems rather pretty cool than i thought! i love walking on side walls!
So the narrator is a lifeless robot?
damn, this game was hella fun when it was released..
Shame, this mod seems rather dead, one of the more interesting ones around.
If anyone wants to play this and can make a server my steam is scabiez
