One year and six months since the release of Jailbreak: Source 0.4, and we're finally done. Yes, 0.6 is really finished. F**k me with a toothbrush and call me Harlie, we actually did it. We're currently making 100% sure that nothing whatsoever is broken, so pardon me if I don't announce the release date just yet. So without further adieu, I present to you the Official Trailer for Jailbreak: Source 0.6. Oh, and when we said "watch out for ducks"... we really meant it.

HOLY CRAP! This looks awesome! =D I can't wait!

just awesome :)
Keep it up!
what a duck :V
Tonight, there's gonna be a Jailbreak...
Hope you guys win something this year, your mod is one of the simplest yet most fun mods I've played in a while. Definitely looking forward to the next release :D
wow that is one awesome execution (ducks)
Very nice
i wait for it since one year and 6 month, so i am really EXCITED
will the release be on steam?
They are on Desura, however.
super sick
Thin Lizzy FTW!
Epic.
@.@
Looking good guys.
Though not quite an 100% total conversion, i did notice a couple of source sounds and textures. But that doesn't matter.
Haha! Yeah I kinda rounded up! Close though, maybe 99.2% ;)
My experience is that it's a bad idea to ever say something is either 100% or 0% :P
As for sounds, depending on I don't think it matters that much, for example some sounds like bullets hitting certain objects, is there any reason to change that? Sounds like getting hurt and other stuff may matter, but bullets hitting metal are still bullets hitting metal!
It doesn't matter. :D
in the video it says 100% total conversion
does it mean i only need source sdk orangebox base or do i need halflife too
All you will need to play Jailbreak is the Source SDK Base - Orange Box.
Awesome --- Simply awesome
That is what i wanted to hear
BTW: You're doing a great job on this guys
Hahah, brilliant mod guys! It feels like it was just yesterday that I played it and it was Combines Vs Rebels. You have made major progress, congrats! The only thing I find a shame is the fact that, the arms are still the default hl2 ones. With all of the fancy custom content, I was hoping for some custom hands too. But that is not important and can be fixed later.
Yeah we know, but we had to draw a line somewhere with 0.6 or we would never release. Custom hand models will arrive in the future, but in the meantime i hope the custom textures on the hand models will do.
looks fun, fast paced **** right there!
Kick in *** your sound engineers though, since even major game sounds are hl2 sounds. GL! Looking forward to pwn noobs.
I shall make sure to kick my own *** for you ;)
There's only four of us buddy, we don't have sound engineer's :D
Wills go kick your self!!
I'm kicking buddy! I'm kicking as hard as I can!
ouch, ok I gonna kick my *** to your forums and see what I can do than :D
I wrote a new Haiku about ducks:
Watch out for sweet ducks!
They could be sly predators.
Level you boom stick!
Lol, love it
Tweeted your Haiku, hope you don't mind :D
Cool trailer bro!
Reminded me of Borderlands trailer, which is a good thing!
Awesome trailer but, I dont know why it, reminds me of borderlands
The text font is borderlands-ish, so is the blood spurts for the backround, i was thinkin that to :P
Looks awesome, gonna love to be playing this in the near future. Love the duck cannon execution!
The cool kids call it inspiration. Me? I just borrowed the idea :D
Well, from now on, if you don't want this mod to die like 0.4, after 0.6 release, bring out updates often.
Yeah we know we spent too long on this release, but i think you'll find it was worth the wait.
We are planning shorter iterations in future though :)
Don't forget; we *would* have released 0.5 about a year ago had it not been for that damn crash bug >_>. We had to rebuild the entire thing from scratch for 0.6 (code-wise).
Who's we? You got a mouse in your pocket? ^_^
Amazing looking.
I just want to know how long you guys were sitting on this song just waiting to put a video to it?
Since 1976 baby! Hehe! In all honesty, since we began developing back in 2007... I didnt want to use it until Jailbreak was good enough for the song :D
It's been 1.5 year that I last played a game, this might make me to stop that and start playing again!
Awesome
I never liked this mod but this looks freaking epic. Great video love the effects and sounds. Will be deffinitly downloading to see what it's like.
Just out of interest buddy, why did you never like this mod? :)
cool trailer will definitely download the mod once it is released
I've played Jailbreak since the very first prototypes, which actually might have been another mod. I remember playing stock HL2 maps like prison where the rebels were near invisible and had to escape. In any case, the mod has definitely grown and I'll be there at the release. While it definitely feels like you guys were feature-creeping yourselves into a hole it seems like it was worth it in the end.
That's the thing though, there was no feature creep. We built 0.5 and was all set to release last February/March, but ultimately it was too bugged to be worth releasing. So we binned it, and started again almost from scratch.
Any additional features that have been built specifically for v.6, were decided upon inside the design document long before even 0.5 was "completed".
Anyway despite all that, we feel that it's been worth the wait putting in the extra effort to release a stable, balanced version that ALL can enjoy.
Looking forward to a few rounds of Jailbreak! with all of you!
I knew it!
I goddamn knew that you will use this song :D
Looks really awesome, can't wait.
BTW there is also a really nice cover of jailbreak by the german metal band Grave Digger:
Dropkick Murphys did a good cover of it too :D
Oh my word, that was a truly excellent trailer and I can't wait. Look for Sheep Sheriff in-game, that'll be me, probably dead on the floor.
And VERY soon? How VERY is that VERY?
