I downloaded the game, and when I tried to start a new game I got a GAME OVER screen, and then the application froze... I used the task manager to stop the program, but the process was still there, and steam also said it was running... So i closed the steam process and steam closed, with the swarmkeeper process still going, and it kept on staying there, and then i rebooted, and the process disapeared, but when i tried to delete the files (not having opened anything else) it said that the files was still in use! I really want to know what the heck is happening and I really want some support!
I think I'd like some kind of instruction manual or something... Does such a thing exist? I've been tinkering around with the game and haven't a clue how to even get started. I just end up in this... endless black expanse with these spiky balls around one big ball, which makes a throbbing noise. I've tried clicking around, but nothing seems to happen. In short, I'd like anyone to point me towards some sort of instructional documentation, because I don't even know if this is normal or not. XD
Thanking you all for your patience, and hoping that this mod turns out as excellent as I'm hoping it will be,

why must this Require Half Life 2 part 2 to play? is there a way to play without Half life?
It shouldn't require EP2. If it does, then it's a mistake. I will make sure to check it for the next version.
Nice! Looking forward this.
Nice, will be watching this.
I cried. I literally cried and bursted out in tears when I saw this. I am so happy. SO HAPPY! I am very, very excited for this. :3
Im watching this, you have already a lot of the basics in the game where others wasted 3 years of lazy development. Bravo.
I can't wait to play this
THIS IS EPIC.
Hmm. Downloading? No later.
