News - Hard - Life mod for Half-Life

Hey All, Want to send some special thanks for those who create their own videos with our creation. Wanted to send some exposure for both parties. Hopefully seeing some big changes between all videos in-between. We are still working on Hard-Life we just prefer to spend our efforts in development rather than media exposure / fancy profiles & pictures. We prefer results & consistent tweaking of Source Code , AI , GamePlay Mechanics. On average our closed beta has around 6-8 hours of gameplay - Watching these videos and hearing feedback helps us understand any issues that may be encountered. Even if some videos include cheats & nonsense it's always great to see people enjoying Hard-Life.

It has sure been a while since any updates have been posted to moddb , so yes... We're still alive & no... unfortunately Hard-Life is not officially out yet. We are still going through key based Steam Access only. Once the game is officially release we will post this information. If you'd like more information on becoming a closed-beta tester please visit our discord / patreon for more information. We usually host Half-Life Deathmatch events with release keys for those who participate. The mod will not be released yet and does not have a release date planned.

I'm also happy to announce we've taken in a new mapper "-Kagerou-" !! Who has brought in some very good ideas and is very driven to help out in our Hard-Life Project. Some WIP Screens below from our new mapper

One of our closed beta users who goes by the name "noclick" uploaded their game play footage from a Mid-May Hard-Life Closed Beta Release. They have many more videos on their page that are also Half-Life related. If you have some spare time I would highly recommend checking them out.

Hello Half-Life/Hard-Life/Synergy fans,

Our changelog is extremely extensive and is not publicized. Every other night I take time to program with our other team members. Getting results is a bit more important than updating a log with minor improvement features.

First extended gameplay trailer, showing how all our mechanics, edits, and new features work in an un-cut segment. This gameplay trailer includes major level edits, new enemies, remodeled and re-animated weapons, new music original music scores, new effects, new AI behavior, new pathing, and just a whole lot more new stuff in general! This is all still WIP so nothing is perfect but I think we're making major strides.

Any feedback is appreciated. If you love it or hate it let us know!

This is the first official trailer for our mod, Hard-Life. This mod aims to make Half-Life drastically more difficult without simply making enemies into bullet sponges. We've added new AI behaviors, changed the way game systems worked, and added a ton of new content into the game that still fits the art and spirit of Half-Life.
