Since the 2020 Retail launch the 2011 release was renamed to: G STRING - BETA and in the future the G STRING - ULTIMATE EDITION is coming. Also don't be confused about the "Developer: LunchHouse Software" part. This is the G String Beta you are looking for, the one made by Eyaura. The display was changed because LunchHouse helped me a lot in publishing the game and this will help us both in promoting our work. Which reminds me: they're making PUNT! Go check it out! Since there is no way to list this on MODDB like on Steam (Developer: Eyaura, Publisher: LunchHouse Software) this is the best solution. Thanks and have fun!
Description
In 2013 this was a privately tested version of the G-String project. Copyrighted music and old intro has been removed. YouTube videos CAN be made of this release without altering any of the files. Playing this will NOT SPOIL the final release as this was made before the project was overhauled.

so exciting!
Oh boy oh boy
oh-ho ho yus...! ^-^
Holy ****. We've been waiting for what, eight years now?
Oh boy!!
so, this is only a refined beta
And the final version will be released on Steam.
If this is the same as the 2013 release then all of you should know that although there are new locations but there are also a lot of maps missing compared to "beta"!
So you should see this not a refined beta but a different beta altogether!
Uh, in the description right here it says
"This is just a slightly more polished version of the BETA"
"At this point I just planned to update the BETA with the existing assets. After I got feedback from this release the decision to overhaul the entire project was made."
So yes I still see it as "refined beta". Literally called that.
My point was that if you play only the new version then you miss a lot of content the first beta has.
I thought new players should know that, that's all.
That's a fair point. I guess I'll play both after all.
Did they cut the river section? Painful or not it's the most memorable part of the original beta.
If you mean the part where you have to stand on a plank to get the other side then no that's still there.
My main regret is that my stupid PC can't handle memory-intensive (as in, titles that usually require a 100%-condition PC in order to not lag horribly of course) titles like this atm since it's been like that ever since the end of 2016 unfortunately.
Regardless, I am still very much happy about this. I really am...! ^-^
Nice of you to release this! ^.^
playing this then the full release, boi i cannot wait for it! good job!
Have funs!
oh man, this version brings good old memories, this is exactly what been shown in old trailers!
how do i enable steam overlay in day one it won't showed up
Eyaura, I have to tell you that the original version of G String is absolutely one of my favorite mods of Half Life. However, with G String Day One even with the few minor glitches, you have surpassed the first version by an order of magnitude! I hope the final version is more like Day One than the original. You have created a Masterpiece...
It reminds me of the Blade Runner world but even more decayed and polluted.
whoa, I tryed G STRING DAY ONE and I just didn’t expect such a beautiful update, attention to details is crazy, I was again scared and incredibly interesting, you are genius Eyaura, I look forward to release of your baby, your game design is just on another level, a million times thank you for this journey, i love you <333
Thank you guys for the comments. I am working very hard to deliver a good game for you. :)
i feel like im going to get stabbed if i play this but i gonna play it anyway
How so?
maybe sniped...
Eyaura! So I want just make a few comments. My previous comments were based on playing in Medium. I did a replay on Hard. The map were after you get through air processing plant and your on top of the skyscrapers making your way over the planks, boards and makeshift walkways (SUPER!) and you get to that heavy cannon with the two dead rebels (?) and you have to fight the police gunship, I CAN'T get through there no matter what I try. That's it, the game blocks my progress there.
Since you disabled the cheats, the game is over for me. One last thing, the jumping sequences, both Half Life 1 and Half Life 2 IMHO suck at any kind of jumping. The engine does not lend itself to jumping. That's it. It is still a beautiful work of Art but on Hard that's as far as I can get.
ADDENDUM: I just found out that I can drop down in difficulty mid-game in Half Life! YEARS playing this game and I just find this out. OK, so I got past the gunship and went back up to Hard. My only complaint now (nitpicking time) is that your opponents become bullet sponges... LOL. All in all I look forward to a release on Steam. Great work me lass!
This version does not work for me normally. It starts up, a pure black screen, there is sound, but there is no picture. Maybe you need to use a different Source SDK Base to run? The first version went great
Yes. This version work on Steam with Source SDK Base 2006.I try to test this mod later
Which one do you recomend I Download? The original Beta or the latest update? Should I download them both?
I'll play the finished payed steam version first, then ill play this one and then the 2011 beta version, so i can see all the differences and what got changed
beta best
はい、それは起こりました・・！
this mod was the mod of the year every year.
look guys, u dont deserve this mod.
this mod must be put in the time capsule for aliens.
yaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Glad ya'll still enjoy these old releases. :)
Download them and have fun! They're different from retail. Hours of fun for free!
getting the error, "Platform Error: module failed to initialize" , installed SDK 2006 before
It doesn't start for me
WAIT THE FULL GAME IS ALSO FOR VANILLA HALF-LIFE 2? The technology from 2004? Not for Episode 2? Not for Source 2013? For vanilla in 2021?
