It’s awesome to see all the new stuff happening everyday, there is always something new to check out!
There is also a few things we would like to clear our for you.

Wow, thats one nice houndeye.
YES! An update =) I was insanely happy until I saw "end of this year" =@ ... This kinda broke my hype in one shot =( ... But it's awesome to see some progress, we BELEIVE in you! Keep up the awesome work
if you remind they have started from zero and a release in the end of this year is very early in my opinion
The question is if we are talking about release. You know, the fact we might get into playable stage doesn't mean we have to release it. Still, there are playtests, final optimisations and bug hunting ;)
but even this is very early
Indeed, but no worries, if the game won't be ready for release, we will keep it in development longer. We want to give you some awesome remake of BS, not incomplete and buggy one ;)
Nice, I love these "under construction" editor screenshots and architecture with dev textures.
Tracking.
-Ignore my post-
Looks nicy:)))Good luck with a remaking Half-Life:Blue Shift!!!
COOL COOL COOL!!! Good luck guys!
The textures on the hound eye and bull squid could be a little more prominent. Give them a little more scale type texture or something; there kinda plain at the moment. Good work none the less!
Wtf, who showed you textured Houndeye?!!
Nice new update!
Great media as usual.
Your remaking one of the best damn games back in the day and your doing pretty frickin excellent so I don't think you guys have anything to worry about on our end, superb job guys!
hoping for a demo in the near future :P
something like Half Life Day One
This is a really nice update! I look forward to the community comps. Somehing I might be able ot join in with!
I hate screenshots in dev version for Mapping ! Arf :(
It is very bad if you show mapping from .vmf file of the mod.
I prefer nice screenshots from the game and not dev map.. Mr.Sugar, you are maybe a friend on modding, Its my opinion for screenshots.. Sorry. I need more from your mod ^^
If you want help about testing or others, call me.
I'm free for write lines of your mod (example : orange box version, npc_bullsquid, npc_houndeye, npc_snark, and more if you want).
Houndeye and bullsquid looking good, now you need skinner and animator ;)
Good luck.
Tbh, this is not a media update, but dev.blog. We are showing not actual screenshots (for example, Houndeye and grenade are already skinned).
The reason we released such a media is that we want to give you some more insight to the mod development, more media but still not spoil the game and keep the other stuff for future media updates ;).
I don't see nothing bad about releasing such a screenshots. I find them very interesting and sometimes, it can reveal you much more that normal pictures...
Ok ok. If you want help for your mod, contact me on my messenger. I'm online today ;)
I'm more a of a dev work fan to tell you the truth. I always love seeing unfinnished work.
ummmm....nightwolf63....there are no textures on those meshes...they are screenshots of high poly meshes taken from within z-brush.
you can see bullsquid texture in the fist media update.
yeah, that's what i thought - but considering that he has both textured and non-textured models on his profile, it would be really weird if he actually mistook these for textured meshes...
wrote him a message, maybe he'll clarify what he meant.
it's not cool if we had a media leak...
