Neptune
Half-Life 2 mod | TBD
Neptune is a single-player modification for Half-Life 2, taking place entirely outside the mother game's universe. Set primarily onboard a mysterious and desolate cruise liner, floating in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Neptune allows the player to slowly unravel the dark and disturbing past of the ship as he/she explores its once-grand rooms, corridors, concert halls, restaurants, bars and maintenance areas. Taking influence from games such as System Shock 2, BioShock, Thief: Deadly Shadows and Silent Hill, Neptune is an atmospheric, narrative-driven, horror-based shooter; an exercise in videogame storytelling and tense level design. It is expected to be released in Q3 2009.

Ahhh.Another podcast.Can't get enough of them.
You know, the new server maplist icons that they added (that you called cluttered) you know you don't have to use it :p you can use the old style still. You talk like your forced to use it ;)
I know I don't have to use it... but what a waste of development time for something no one uses.
You don't understand the use of it then. It's not there just to look flashy, it's there for a reason; so people can get a preview of the map they're about to play. Specifically custom maps, what if you go and download a map from a server that's sooo slow and you think "I bet it's worth the wait though" and you join and find it sucks. That's where the maplist icon comes in handy, so you can see it first, saves you having to go hunt the bugger on google! :p
I have yet to see a single custom map that uses it this early anyways. To be honest, I do think William was right about the cluttered-ness of it. I don't really understand why Valve would go there way of doing something such as this when there are bugs to fix.
Well it's not like they had to spend weeks on it, for a programmer, this is a seriously simple piece of VGUI. It was just a nice little addition to add. It does look a little cluttered, but what do you expect? The maplist pictures need to big to be visible.
First of all, thanks for talking about Zombie Panic Source, it's always nice to see that people appreciate updates. I can agree on some of the things you talked about, such as the animations. We have already said that we will be redoing some and fixing current animation problems for the weapons but we had to reanimate everything from scratch to get the new hands working, so yeah it might have been a bit rushed (some of it).
As for the barricades, we could go further and concentrate on them more yes but we didn't intend to make them a major part of the game. There were about 10 cades in the 2 new maps and some in other older maps and that was good. If we start throwing in a lot of cades in the official maps the gameplay will be completely different and we don't want to change that after a year (will piss people off). Main map for barricades with this release was zpo_harvest which involves camping and barricading as a part of the objective. Barricades will probably get a bigger role in some future maps but we were happy with the way we implemented it now in our current maps and our community seemed pleased (judging by the response we got).
We don't want maps where all you do is camp, too many barricades would make it completely unbalanced unless the map was intended for such a scenario where you barricade.
So yeah, we'll see what the future has to offer. Thanks for the kind words and the feedback!
I totally agree with you on the barricades. If you were to make them more bigger featured then we'd just be playing "ZombieCade! Source" :)
Very funny podcast. Britsh acient for the win xD (can't spell lol). Another fun podcast.
Good podcast.
Looking forward to CURSE as well, and when you said "you should already be looking at the images", well, I was :P
why does this show up as a Berimbau mod feature? :P
Because we mentioned berimbau
hmm yeah but this never happened before, I guess you're new gonna do this for all mods mentioned? I thought it was just for interviews.
also didn't see this pop up on curse yet which I'm watching as well
unlike staff he dose not have the permission to add it to every mod, some like to remain private as far as community uploads are concerned.
Thanks again for mentioning us!
Hilarious miss by Phillip there! :P
