Hello everybody, are you having a nice summer?
For those who aren’t present in our Discord, you might be wondering what happened during the last nine months. Why have we returned to radio silence again?
The answer is simple: we have been busy with our lives for a myriad of reasons, and couldn’t always work on the mod. But while the development slowed down, it didn’t halt the progress.
During this time, we focused more on hunting down bugs and finishing some existing features, as well as restructuring the files in order to begin testing on Steam. “Visible” work like remastering / improving more official maps or implementing new features have been less frequent this time due to the sheer amount of effort they usually require, but work is being done. Between half and two-thirds of the official maps and large parts of the content have already been completed, with the rest being in the works or waiting for someone to work on them.

We also have to thank Upset, the developer of Half-Life: Co-op ( a Gmod gamemode that allows playing HL:S with other players ), as he allowed us to use the fixes he developed to solve some bugs the original game had, like the lack of a proper func_pushable entity, or env_laser decals being broken.
Without further delays, our fourth dev blog video ( Turn on captions if you want to know what’s being shown ):
As a closing note, we are still looking for mappers to help us with the rest of the maps that need to be improved, so we can focus on other tasks. However, we accept anyone with the skill and time to help us speed up the development, either by being a 2D artist, a modeler, a sound artist, etc. Don’t think twice about asking us!
Thank you for your support!!
Good to see you guys back, I'd definitely be interested in helping you guys track bugs and all that with the Steam release. If it's any help I'm a Steamworks partner myself and have already been working on my own project to go out on Steam and I wouldn't mind helping you guys as well.
Contact us on our Discord, so we can talk in more detail. And thanks :D
Nice!
Looking forward for Steam release! I got a group of friends who are also waiting patiently to play together.
Stalkers, but now they ain't a joke where you point and laugh until they die anymore, now they can show some "muscle"!
Can't wait!
it's always fantastic to get word from you. i'm waiting with great enthusiasm for the steam release
