Doom II total conversion, transferring the action to Russia at the beginning of the 20th century, when a bloody civil war was raging...

You have to take the role of a corporal of the Volunteer Army, opposing the Bolshevik hordes. Your name is Pavel Alexandrovich Streletsky, you were born on May 22, 1892 in Tsaritsyn, in a family with military traditions. Your father died in the Russo-Japanese war in the Battle of Mukden, and your mother was stabbed to death by the Bolsheviks. You are a veteran of the Great War, being a corporal, you are participating in the Civil War in Russia under the command of general Lavr Kornilov.

Your goal from the very beginning is to eliminate as many Bolshevik soldiers as possible and to go to places at the front where an ordinary soldier would not last a second, with your ultimate goal being protecting the general along with the White Army slowly retreating to the east...

Welcome, Volunteers!


As a team, our mission is to keep You updated, thus in this article, we will cover all the newest news from the development of Half The Way: Russian Civil War and the latest details from Extinct Studio!

So... What's new?

  • Maxim M1910 Heavy Machine Guns and Loaders: In order to boost the experience and vary the gameplay, we are bringing a powerful new weapon to the game. Now players will be able to use Maxims placed in specific locations on the maps, with the help of a loader, who must be called by the player to come to him, by a binded key on the keyboard. Loaders will help the player with better shooting experience and effectiveness on the battlefront;
  • Weapon Rework: We have redesigned all of the existing weapons for a more realistic and detailed user experience. Now, each weapon has a unique shooting accuracy, fire rate, sound and behavior, which translates into even more tactical variety;
  • Extensive Missions: We have prepared many expanded quests for players. Now there are opportunities to participate in various side and main missions to explore unique locations. This will be an another catch for gaining multiple benefits;
  • Recreations of historical places: Our team pays a lot of attention to details and what comes with it, are recreations of the old looks of multiple places or monuments which did not survive to this day. Now players will have the opportunity to visit the restored buildings, enjoying their beauty and discovering secrets hidden around;
  • ACS-based hallucination system: We are introducing a new and innovative feature - the hallucination system, inspired by the memoirs of soldiers. This system will bring more realism in gameplay as it will portray how they slowly faded to insanity. During the hallucinations, the player will be able to experience extraordinary visuals and unique "ghost" NPCs who he will be able to interact with;
  • Flashbacks and thoughts: We have prepared a flashback system, allowing to go back in time for a short amount of time and get deeper into the mind of the main character, also unveiling his memories and events buried deep in the past;
  • NPCs living their "own life": Our new feature cycle provides unique lives for non-playable characters. It is now possible to witness their daily routines, conversations and interactions between the others, which will create a more realistic and vivid world.

Unfortunately, what comes with the progression and a faster work rate, is the lack of people specializing in specific parts of the mod. Regrettably, as our progress accelerates and our work rate increases, we find ourselves in need of additional team members. Therefore, we are actively seeking individuals who are passionate and willing to contribute to our mod in the following specific ways:

Voice acting:
In order for our mod to feel ultimately Russian and provide an interesting and immersive experience, we are in need of possible voice actors, who would like to contribute as a voice of one of the categories specified below along with the requirements for gaining the role:

- Children / Good microphone, minimal Russian language skills, high pitched voice;
- Adults / Possible voice modifying, good microphone, average Russian / German language skills;
- Elders / Hoarse voice, good microphone, average Russian / German language skills;
- Unique voices / Selected from among the voice actors;

Spriting:
Unfortunately, we can't keep up with the creation of multiple NPCs, enemy spritesheets and their animations by only ourselves. All of the character sprites are created by adasiok [ExtinctDoomStudio], the project's lead and main creator. With this kept in mind, the only requirements so far are:

- Frankenspriting / Spriting skills and time
- Working on a specified resolution and predefined style (with pre-made templates made by adasiok)

Mapping:
To become a mapper, you have to:

- Be able to recreate the natural environment;
- Be able to recreate specific structures based on information and reference images.

In order to contact us to discuss contribution, message adasiok [ExtinctDoomStudio] or Taboret [ExtinctDoomStudio] on Discord by joining our server by clicking the image below!

Finally, I would like to thank all fans of our mod and say that despite the difficulties, we are trying to make Half The Way as good as possible.

I know it's too early to speak about that, but seeing that the White Army faction will be getting varied and unique NPCs, will the Reds have variety and uniqueness, too? And will we see other factions, like Anarchists?

Yes, there will be anarchists, aswell as bandits and city guards wandering around Rostov-on-Don, the Reds have multiple variations: chekists, flamethrowerers, officers etc. Each variant will have it's strong and weak sides, their faces are also different.

I realize that this might be a stupid question, but is there a chance that Steam Achievements can be implemented for this mod, *if* said mod should ever see a release on Steam, that is??? :/

If the Steam version will run on GZDoom, then no chance. You can use GZDoom-created content for commercial purpose as long as you won't alter the code of the engine itself. Adding achievements requires exactly that, which makes it a violation of the terms of use.

If enough funds will be raised in order for us to release this mod as a standalone game for Steam, then I think there will be a chance for us to add achievements to the game itself unless it will be needed for us to change, alter the code of the engine
