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 :)

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. ...
Thanks to everyone who voted so far.
As promised, media update will come soon, but sorry - not this year ;] 1-3 more days and It'll be up here.
Here goes the biggest media update!
Frohman used Holy Water on Elitic , Holy water gives 1 karma point to every comment that the littl kid down-karmed.
Nice :), thanks Mate, that isn't necessary, but if he continues doing it I'll be contacting moderators or just hiring hitman would do a job, heh, joking.

"good mod"
"looks good, tracking"
:P
nah, jokes beside, it looks really quite good already and I can't wait to play it.
You say this is a halflife2:deathmatch total conversion, does this mean that people won't even need halflife2 to play it?
(I don't care, I have all half life games :) )
Mod uses "Source SDK Base 2007" it's available when any SOURCE game is bought. Half-Life2:Deathmatch is not needed to play RTC.
I believe what is meant is that they will use all of their own textures, models, sounds and so on. Its still a modification.
Yes, we'll use our own stuff, however it's hl2dm modification.
(No HL2 Related stuff, but there will be some textures...)
don't you need a not-free source game which includes the sdk to play mods?
Anyways, I thought about making some textures for your mod, but at first I need proper knowledge of the source engine and more free time.
As I wrote earlier: You need to buy any source game (I don't know full list).

"if you have purchased a Source game such as Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Counter-Strike: Source, etc."
ye, but all those guys who got hl2: deathmatch for free won't be able to play it which are pretty sure the most who have hl2d. :3 "I have a copy of Half-Life 2: Deathmatch that came free with my ATI or nVidia video card. Why can't I install Source SDK Base?
The free version of Half-Life 2: Deathmatch does not unlock Source SDK Base. You will need to purchase one of Valve's other Source-based games in order to get it. "
