News - Lost Industry 2 mod for Half-Life 2

Hi, Predice here!

So a few of you could be wondering:
What the hell happened, why it is broken, why I can't download it, why don't I have a suit at the beginning?

1, What happened?
We did a last second change regarding the Credits at the end of the game. In the credits you was still able to see your HUD, that wasn't intended. So I just asked Sára to do "hidehud -1" when the credits map show up, so you can't see your HUD during the credits. And enable it again when the background map comes up again. Appearantly this broke something and for the new players (us devs it didn't occur for some reason) they started out with "hidehud -1" by default.

2.Why is it broken?
I don't know, players start out with hidehud -1 what disables their HUD. So you have suit and everything, you just can't see your HUD, thus you cant cycle weapons and stuff. So if you play with that broken mess
You can just enable cheats and type "hidehud 0" in the console.

ALSO!

There is a bug when SOMETIMES the level transition from the second to the third level is just broken.
We are fixing that too

3.Why can't I download it?
I've asked the ModDB staff to remove the download, I don't want people to download the broken version.

4.When is the fix going to happen PEREDICE? I WANNA PLAY!
Most likely today.

5.Whats next?
We will release again, Roll out a patch, add some more maps possibly and we will try to get it on steam, and we will move on to other projects.

6.Who's fault is this?
Noone's we couldn't possibly predicted this, since it never occured to us

These stuff happen, people seem to took this alright, they were understanding. And if you read this I want you to be understanding too. It happens, making mistakes is a path to success. We'll try to fix this but be patient.

Until next time, Farewell!

No matter how many weapons, effects or any other features you add to your mod, it's useless without well tought-out maps with combat and puzzles. That is why we are putting a lot of effort in them :D Most of them are close to being finished. And we are actively working on the last level.

Hello everyone! Its me Sára!

It's currently 29th of August 18:51 as of me writing this article and we preparing for the big day tomorrow. This article is nothing important, just me having an urge to thank you everybody. Honestly the support was breathtaking, every time we posted something we got mostly positive feedback and compliments. And we really appreciate it! Keep in mind, we are not professionals, for me and Peredice this is our first mod and project. Everything you will see in the mod is basically us experimenting and trying to come with new things. But core gameplay remains HL2. We were not really sure about our new experiment if people will even like it or not, but at the end of the day, you cant fullfill everyones expectations. So pretty much everything in the mod is toggleable, if you dont like it turn if off :D We really overcome our expectations with all this, I would have never thought this simple mod would get as big as it got at the end.

We are looking forward on what you guys think! Please let us know in the comments on the main MODDB page of Lost Industry 2.

And again, Thank you for reading.

Farewell!

Hey there once again!

Its me sáruna. Today i want to talk about the effects that are in the game! When it comes to things that make the game great the effects are one of them!

Lightning or Particles.. They are both very important!

Lightning for making the mood and atmospere right. And particles for other factors like enhancing the combat and making the player more immersed in the game.

But you are here to see stuff and not to read my boring text right? :p
