A Source remake of the classic GoldSource mod They Hunger.

Due to circumstances within my control but clearly beyond my limited intelligence, there are no streams scheduled for this weekend, sorry.

However, I will try to make time for a stream but can’t guarantee it.

I can say that LiberationVille WILL NOT be released this weekend. I want to have time to create a proper post and present the hard work of all the entrants properly. I understand this may disappoint many readers and I apologize for that. The weekends are the only time I get to work on the site at the moment and there just wasn’t time between the deadline (Monday 11pm and now) to create the post.

The judges have a working version of the mod, so hopefully everything will be ready for next weekend.

That reminds, I still have to send the prizes for ChasmVille, so the authors who came first, second and third expect an email soon. Also, please accept my apologies for the delay.

I certainly don’t want to spoil the mod, but I have used a screenshot from one of the maps as the featured image of this post. I haven’t played all the maps yet but suspect this challenge could become a classic.

So, that’s it from me. Have a GREAT GAMING weekend and if you see me online via Steam Friends feel free to chat with me. CYA

Oh My Headcrab. I can’t tell you how much I wanted this to be an amazing release. I had spoken to Richard a day or two after I head about the “mod” and he told me it was actually going to be released as a full fledged game. I was so excited. Yes, the screenshots didn’t have me drooling and the voice acting whilst it was very good, was terrible as a replacement for a vortigaunt.

The thought of somebody making a game and releasing it could ignite the community to new heights.

Sure, there would be challenges ahead, especially financial, but if they have been overcome once, then they could be again.

A simple area with a few enemies trying to stop you from opening the main area.

Once you are in there, get ready for a tough fight.

Good Luck!

First off, Darren AKA CustomGamer, continues The Ville Retrospective, where he plays the Ville mapping challenges. This weekend it is VerticalVille on Saturday at 1pm GMT.

Unfortunately, that’s it so far, although if I manage to get more admin work done I MAY be playing Strider Mountain and even more of a maybe “Der Schwarze Nebel” mod!

During the weekend, a couple of copies of INFRA will be given away, both courtesy of SteamContests.com AKA Aaron’s Giveaways, so a HUGE thanks to Aaron.

Aaron is doing some great work over there and deserves a BIG shout out. For example, check out Emily Wants To Play giveaway.

All streams will be on the RTSL Twitch Channel and announced on the RTSL Twitter Feed.

If you have any questions about the streams, just ask.

Hi March, How’s it going?

I’ve been really busy which is energizing but also tiring.

What about you, have you been busy?

Hoping to get some original content out this month, buy we’ll see.

Anyway, as usual, chat about anything you want, just please avoid chatting about maps and mods listed on the site.

I finally managed to sit down and chat with Bradley Toliver AKA ComfortJones maker of Abandon: The Town.

I was especially keen on chatting with him because the mod features some unusual gameplay mechanic choices and I thought it would be interesting for other modders and players to hear the reasons behind them.

We chat for about 46 minutes and cover pretty much everything I wanted to.

You can listen via this page or download it to your HDD.

The Closure starts where the original Half-Life 2: Episode two ended, with the death of Alyx’s father, Eli.

Dr. Kleiner has gone missing after going to destroy the Borealis and its secret cargo in the North Pole.

Dr. Magnusson sends Gordon Freeman to find Dr. Kleiner and find out once and for all what’s in the ship.

Gordon travels by aircraft to the North Pole to find Kleiner, and save the ship.

Will you be on time? And what will you find in the ship’s hold?

Only one way to find out!

OMG, yes, that’s right, I finally managed to produce another WTH podcast.

I’m so sorry for the delay. As with the last one, this is just about the mods. Almost everything is taken from ModDB.

Since it’s been almost two months since the last podcast and we have had an influx of new members/readers thanks to the YouTube channel Valve News Network, let me quickly summarize the podcast.

What The Headcrab is a podcast that updates listeners on what’s been happening in the Source/Gold Source single player modding world. Initially, the podcast covered Reddit, YouTube and GameBanana but it quickly became apparent that there was too much to cover. From episode 6, I decided to focus almost exclusively on mods.

If you would like to know more, please read the What The Headcrab: Introduction.

At some point in the future I may create video versions of these podcasts.
