General Update and a new Map! news - Suicide Survival Mod for Half-Life 2

Suicide Survival

Half-Life 2 mod | Released Nov 28, 2008

Suicide Survival is a Mod of Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. There are two teams so you either play as Survivor or as Suicider. The goal for Survivors is to stay alive (duh!) and to spot the Suiciders before they can get close enough of to you. They have the book “Gardening for Beginners” by Barbara Bush as a self-defence weapon. The goal for Suiciders is to sneak up close enough to the Survivors so you can blow yourself up. Suiciders play as shrubberies in a map full of shrubberies thus blending in with the enviroment. If they dont move you dont know which one is being played by a player. The game doesnt have a goal currently other then being simple team deathmatch. However its planned to transform it into a round-based survival with a time limit.

Hi everyone, it has been a long time since there was an update so it is time for some news:

First of all, Suicide Survival is not dead, its only resting (just like the parrot). And whenever I check the servers I always see a few people playing which really suprises me. I figured Suicide Survival would be hip for a few months and then dissappear into the great void of the internet. Alas I was wrong which really makes me happy.

Second of all and mostly being the reason why I layed down the development of Suicide Survival for a while are some personal matters: I finished my Bachelor in Game Design this summer and I'm still trying to get a job in the game industry. Second I'm working on my final project again in order to submit it to the IGF and Unity Awards. If you want to check it out you can visit the website at: ww.doppelscope.com The website is only in German for now but there will be a playable and English version of it as well in the near future. In short this has my main priority followed by creating my portfolio and getting a job. However I will try to get a new version of Suicide Survival out before christmas this year.

Last but not least Michael Kuzel aka Eccentricity from the official forums has made a pretty awesome and well designed map. Its called SS_Allan and even features a new and unique game mode. Taken straight from the read me:

Eccentricity wrote:In certain intervals, a special shrub will spawn in a random location. This special shrub has no identifying features that separates it from normal shrubs or even Suiciders - except for one thing - it chirps. Every few seconds this unique shrub will emit a small chirp sound. This sound can be heard both by the Survivors as well as the Suiciders. Use your ears to locate this shrub, as it will give an advantage to the Survivor team if its found and used!

Check out the thread from Eccentricity in the forums or simply download the map (21 MB) and try it out.
