SideScroller (SS for short) is a Half Life 2 modification for the source engine. Remember the good ol'days with games like Mario, captain Keen (That's commander Keen!) and all those other 2D platformers? We're here to bring those good ol' days back with a sidescrolling game.

And now to the point : The announcements!

Well, we've decided to make the graphics look cartoony. Like in TF2 and XIII. We'll have a media post soon, displaying the new cartoony look of the mod. We've also changed the story of the mod, please read the summary to find it out. After a test level is finished, we'll be releasing a video showcasing some elements.

All things are good now, especially since we have a coder now. This isn't such a exciting newspost, but atleast it's our first one since we changed to 2008 :) Hope ya'll had a great christmass and new year's eve.

Greetings, The SideScroller Team.
