Did you ever think Half-Life was way too easy? Hard-Life corrects that issue.

Hey All, Want to send some special thanks for those who create their own videos with our creation. Wanted to send some exposure for both parties. Hopefully seeing some big changes between all videos in-between. We are still working on Hard-Life we just prefer to spend our efforts in development rather than media exposure / fancy profiles & pictures. We prefer results & consistent tweaking of Source Code , AI , GamePlay Mechanics. On average our closed beta has around 6-8 hours of gameplay - Watching these videos and hearing feedback helps us understand any issues that may be encountered. Even if some videos include cheats & nonsense it's always great to see people enjoying Hard-Life.

Mod of the Year Awards
Best Upcoming

2023 COUNTDOWN


Welcome to the Players Choice: Best Upcoming Mods of 2023 Results! The following mods have been selected by ModDB readers from the Top 100 nominees to determine which mods they are most anticipating for future release.


Evolutions is a "Halo Wars" style mod for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars that features epic ground and air warfare on a massive scale. Evolutions brings many instruments of war from the Halo universe to life, allowing the player to fight as the Covenant or the UNSC in epic battles based on iconic Halo locales.


9TH PLACE

Outcast

For: Half-Life 2


Wasteland Ravine


Awakening on a crashed train with only sparse memories of the past, and advanced combat tactics for fighting the enemies of Our Benefactors, step into the mind of a resistance fighter troubled by long lost memories as-well as mental and physical augmentation. The world we knew is gone, and all that remains is the oppressive Combine regime and the seemingly endless fight against them. Team up with the remaining resistance and explore locations both old and new in Outcast.


8TH PLACE

Hard - Life

For: Half-Life



Hard-Life is a mod that aims to change how you play Half-Life. The game was difficult back in 1998 but we've all nearly memorized enemy patterns and locations. Rather than raising enemy health and damage in an artificial manner, we decided to overhaul how the the AI works. Enemies are more evasive, they move quicker, react faster, and are more deadly with their aim.


7TH PLACE

TimeWarp

For: Half-Life


Surface


This isn't going to be like any ol' HL1 romp. There's a whole new story, characters, weapons, locations and mechanics. Travel through time and explore unique locations - ranging from medieval castles to ancient underground temples, to sci-fi laboratories, futuristic cities and more. Wreak havoc using a vast array of weapons - with each time period having its own weapon set you'll have no shortage of armaments to use in gunfights.


Return to Aperture Science, overrun by a rogue Combine AI with little patience and murderous intent. Solve puzzles that will challenge your three-dimensional thinking, and step through the Portal into a wholly different testing facility.


Welcome to World War II Named Black Orchestra: Worldfront 37-54, this modification will allow you to experience an overhauled Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm 1 with Heroes of the West. It includes the North African campaign, as well as completely new theatres to the series.


Infinite Finality is a Half-Life 2: Episode 2 modification that attempts to recreate the storyline of Epistle Three.


3RD PLACE

Project Brutality

For: Doom II


Heavy DMR


Released during the event (so you can grab it now), Project Brutality is a fast-paced gameplay mod that aims to amp up classic Doom like never before.


Step closer, kin of our kin, for we have gospel to share. Having delivered the One Free Man to safety, Father Grigori, Archangel of Ravenholm, must now make his final exodus - and bury the town he once held so dear beneath ash.


1ST PLACE

Urban Chaos

For: Half-Life 2


Submarine 2 Submarine 3


After a long period of silience, Urban Chaos is back making progress on their eagerly anticipated mod. The game takes place in the eve of the Seven Hour War. Fighting against blood shedding synths and frightening aliens, Adrian Shephard has to struggle his way with his fellow comrades from the Phoenix Command, with the main objective of stopping the construction of a Combine Citadel. In his journey he will find what has happened to the world, moments before the Seven Hour War.

Hard-Life - Closed Beta Screens & Videos


Still Here



It has sure been a while since any updates have been posted to moddb , so yes... We're still alive & no... unfortunately Hard-Life is not officially out yet. We are still going through key based Steam Access only. Once the game is officially release we will post this information. If you'd like more information on becoming a closed-beta tester please visit our discord / patreon for more information. We usually host Half-Life Deathmatch events with release keys for those who participate. The mod will not be released yet and does not have a release date planned.

One of our closed beta users who goes by the name "noclick" uploaded their game play footage from a Mid-May Hard-Life Closed Beta Release. They have many more videos on their page that are also Half-Life related. If you have some spare time I would highly recommend checking them out.

Hello Half-Life/Hard-Life/Synergy fans,

Sorry about the long wait for updates, Schedules have not been friendly over time yet fury_161 has taken some time out to show our current "Office Complex" chapters shown in a YouTube video below.



Consider joining our community and discussing openly any opinions that you may have. We are all aware that changing Half-Life may not be everyone's cup of tea. This mod may not be for everyone but those who appreciate our outlook are more than welcome.


Our changelog is extremely extensive and is not publicized. Every other night I take time to program with our other team members. Getting results is a bit more important than updating a log with minor improvement features.

First extended gameplay trailer, showing how all our mechanics, edits, and new features work in an un-cut segment. This gameplay trailer includes major level edits, new enemies, remodeled and re-animated weapons, new music original music scores, new effects, new AI behavior, new pathing, and just a whole lot more new stuff in general! This is all still WIP so nothing is perfect but I think we're making major strides.

Any feedback is appreciated. If you love it or hate it let us know!
