Everyone likes christmas no?
Yeah... the gifts.. the big tree.. the roaring fire!
Then again, there are the parents... the hugs... the crappy presents, the "sure to be radioactive" fruitcake, the old arguments coming back over and over again!
Thus, the use for this mod.
Xmas is a way to bring christmas... into Half-Life!
Everything in HL is replaced with christmas themed stuff. The 2d art, the models, the sounds, everything is changed!
So now, when your mad because of your ol' grandma coming to hug you and kiss your face, you can relax!... by shooting off a few grenades and blowing the crap out of your enemies!
Xmas: "Santa's coming to town!... and he's packin' heat!"

Working on Xmas was awesome.
Even now, having finished my game development course in college, i sleep at night and think about this mod that i created over the better part of a year, many years ago and smile.
It had everything a mod needs. Assets, a goal, a design document, a vision for how it should be played and damnit, it worked.
Now i'm at the point in my life where i have to look for a job in the gaming industry (not an easy task) and Xmas fits the build. But theres a catch.
Do i keep on working on Xmas for HL 1, which has already everything id need, or move onto the HL 2 engine and be able to create new and better looking assets?
Both has its pros and cons.
So im asking you, the modding community, what path should i choose.
Leave a comment and guide me through!

the name is deceiving, it dounds like you are bringing cristmas to HL, not HL to Xmas
I'm trying to bring the HL world INTO christmas.
I could redo the whole mod to be completely different, but that would take a lot of time. And since i'm a 1 man crew, i gotta work with what i have.
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with Christmas (super soaker?) and it looks scary (dilapidated Victorian house). What an odd Comical/Fun mod...
umm, this doesnt look like it has anything to do with Xmas
But i had less time to work on Xmas then i though.
I've had a lot of other HL mod projects on my hands and just recently, i've been asked to "save" a dying HL mod which i have been a fan for the last 3 years.
I'm pushing the release date to December 24 2003.
(HL 2 anyone? :p )
This will give me plenty of time to implement all the stuff i wanted to and give Xmas a polished look.
Sorry. But it's for the best.
Q2 2003 has come and gone...
You say to google it but i cant find it anywhere. It is NOT out there!
the current release of Xmas was beta 0.5, which i took down because it was only a test to get feedback in order to finish up 1.0
