Post news Report RSS XEN update

Hello everyone! It's another one article about progress. This time let's talk about Xen changes.

Posted by on

Originally this chapter was consist of 5 maps and a bit crumpled. Now it has increased to 9! I decided to expand the last chapter by adding new areas and maps to get more enjoyment out of Xen's landscapes.

1. New Maps
New map with an alien tornado! The tornado affects the environment, the enemies, and of course the player.

Another one new map is a rotating asteroid somewhere in the middle of space. There will be an extraordinary quest based on day/night cycle with a dynamic conditions here!
Try to set three solar batteries up to charge energy system. You need it to leave this damned asteroid. Why it damned? When you are on the day side, you take damage from too high radiation level. There is only one safe zone here - a small cave in the centre of area which has an alien pool for infinite healing. You can act only in dark time for your safety, but energy systems works only in day time...

2. New Areas

The red selection is a new additional area for penultimate map.

More flying islands are in the blue Xen. The attacking energy crystal/flower was added from vanilla HL as a static enemy.

... and now what? As you can see the update has been delayed again.

What's left to do? To finish English version, plot scenes + new ending, Steam page. I don't want to set an another "release" date, but hope it will be released soon.

Also, I invite you to my community on Discord! It's not so big yet, but I post WIPs and other content more frequently there.

Hi, that's great, this is like a Delta 2 built upon original Delta.

I really liked your personal take on Xen, this really felt like being far far away from Earth, wandering on another world...
I'm curious how you rebuilt all of that during 1.5 years, after all those returns, playthroughs and comments you must have read or watched.

I love the colors here. I'm not sure that I've seen Xen under some of these color palettes before, and also that galaxy in the background? Awesome, simply awesome, I love it.
