Re-creating the Hard Duty page news

Howdy! A lot has happened, therefore, it's time to share what has been going on!

The old mod page was removed! Why?

Many reasons pushed me to delete the mod page and re-create it from scratch. That being said, the mod was still alive and kicking despite no page being active for a while.

Out of all the reasons, I removed the page to mainly remove past history that I didn't like seeing. Moreover, Hard Duty has changed a lot since 2015 (the year I originally created the page), therefore, I wanted to start fresh again, and that includes a fresh ModDB mod page. I also deleted my old ModDB account with it, for the same reasons. That's all I'm going to say.

What kind of progress is there for Hard Duty?

While working on the main campaign many months back, we wondered if what we were going for would please every Half-Life player in terms of atmosphere. Therefore, we created a rather small campaign that we called:

This demo will mainly be used to acquire players input as to what they thought of the atmosphere of this demo. As the name suggests, a lot of focus has been put on the atmosphere. There will be limited gameplay and some light puzzle solving. We wouldn't want to ruin the good stuff early on, now would we?

Based on feedback once the demo releases, we'll look at how we're going to approach the main campaign. We'll let you know when this demo is ready to be released, which shouldn't be too far in the future.

I know it's been years since I have been working on this, and wish things would've been done by now, but I'm not giving up.

In the meantime, here are the latest screenshots. I don't have much else to say other than progress is being done. The next article will detail the new features and improvements that were done since then. Hopefully, that should give level designers some ideas in the future!
