Hello mates, It's true that mod was dead for over year!
I take responsibility for this sad event, as i did all hard work you've seen on this mod alone, there was no team behind RTC. Sadly my free time was very limited and I couldn't bear all roles in mod development and then the project was halted and there was no-one who would have continued to work on mod.
Enough of sad news, now I'm here to form a team to return development to full speed.
The new Return to Church modification development team is recruiting for responsible & experienced:
Think you could do anything for MOD? Please don't hesitate to contact me!
You have unused content, such as: levels, models, props, textures that would fit this mod theme? Please contact me if you're willing to share.
I will continue to work on this mod as soon as I have free time. (I'm studying and working at the moment, so my time is very limited)
Thank you for reading through news of this mod! I hope there would be kind people who could help this mod!
If you have any ideas for mod, then I'm listening :)
Elitic,
The founder of RTC
Here is screenshots of new catacombs map sections. Screenshots of Molotov Cocktail in-game. And finished model of Werewolf, but untextured.
Development of mod has been already resumed. It's already 27th of September and I have new media update for you. Here is Werewolf WIP model, Molotov weapon...
Today I'm pausing development of Return to Church mod, But I'll continue modding after summer.
Here it is - the long waited update. It's been 4 months already since last update. Those months weren't very productive, however much was still done. ...
Hey!
I'm very late to the party, but I don't suppose that work on this mod is still being made? Even slowly? The concept looks promising, reminds me of the old Vampire Slayer mod for HL1.
Release it, please! :D
Hey Elitic, is there still a Hope, that this great mod will be continued? By far, this is the mod i was hoping to be finished the most! And I think I'm not the only one :)
There is indeed! I can't promise any release dates, sorry. Thanks for kind comment! :)
This game is dead.
Nope :)
GO ON DUDE!
i understand that you're having a hard time with all the work falling up to you but i wan't you to know that the Moddb community supports you and is very excited to the release of such great work. your models look amazing, the battle classes are creative and so are the characters habilities. the interactive environments look filled up and detailed, i'm looking forward to see this masterpiece out, and trust that the source engine fans will fill up your servers as soon as they're available.
wish you luck :)
is this mod dead? was looking forward to this
why does it take place in 1999?
Would the source code be released? :)
That is always a plan b, if the mod dies. Then the community could finish it.
