Post news Report RSS They Hunger: Source - Development continues...

New version and new changes, I'll tell you a little about it :)

Posted by on

Greetings to all.

Many months have passed since the last release of this port. I'm glad to see the community's support and positive feedback on the mod. Today I will talk about future changes and possible improvements in the next versions.


Well, before moving on to enumerate the changes and demonstrate them. I want you to watch this material. This is the video cut of progress for the entire period of development:


Despite the result that has been achieved. The latest release has many shortcomings. For example, terrible water in some places and errors with scripts.


Since then, many videos dedicated to this port have been released. Also two videos were released where a small comparison was made, I recommend it for review - if you have questions "how does this port differ from the original game?"




The new version will have many improvements. Such as addition of models to the maps. I will use the experience of the Sven-Coop team, they slightly modified the maps and added props to them (trees instead of sprites for example), and changed the geometry of some levels.

The main tasks that are planned to be performed in the new versions:

  • Improve map optimization.
  • Add models to maps (instead of sprites)
  • Change map lighting (and make them brighter)
  • Fix HUD + V+W_Models

F.A.Q

Q: Will barney fire speed be fixed?
A: No, it won't be in the next version. This is possible in the future.

Q: Will zombie blood be completely red?
A: Yes, it will be done.

Q: Is it possible to disable texture upscaling?
A: No, we stopped using old textures (low resolution) because it looks mediocre on the new engine.

Q: Do you plan to PORT 2-3 episodes?
A: At the moment I'm focused on fixing the current port. But it is quite possible in the future.

If you have any ideas to improve the mod - let me know.
