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.

Hey everyone, I'm way over due with some update as to what has been going on with Suicide Survival. So here are some important news:

Posted by judasbenhur on Mar 18th, 2009 digg this super bookmark

I'm currently in my last semester of my BA in game design. So all my time is being focused on the diploma project which of course is a game (DUN! DUN!). I still haven't decided if it will be a new version of Suicide Survival or something totally new. I'll make an update once that has been solved.

On the ModDB.com "Mod of the Year Awards" Suicide Survival was voted into the "top 22 released Half-Life 2 mods of 2008" by you. Thank you very much for your votes.

Another important news is that I'm one of the few selected students to receive an GDC Student Scholarship sponsored by the IGDA. This means I'll be at the Game Developers Conference in a couple of days. I'm super excited and feel very honored to have received this scholarship. This will not only be my first time visiting the US, but also my first time meeting so many big time game developers.

If you are visiting GDC as well or are from San Francisco and want to meet the guy behind Suicide Survival then drop me a mail.

Alternatively you can also follow my newly created Twitter page which I'll keep updated about the trip, the GDC and my diploma project.

Thats about it with the current things going on. More news after the GDC.
