“Your goal is to open the main door, by finding 4 numbers to the door code.

You can obtain this numbers by winning in 4 games. You can also guess all numbers just by rotating the wheels (but this is very unlikely). For now the door code is fixed, that’s mean is not random and it’s always the same.

After you beat the map for the first time, you know the code. My next step is to implement random generated code for the door.

There is no story. Just do whatever you want to do and have fun. Try everything in gameroom.”

Mod Community Funding

My first thought after I heard “Dear Esther” had recouped its investment in the initial 6 hours after release was “so what? Bully for them”.

Not that I don’t wish the authors success – I do. I’m certainly not a fan of mods that turn retail mid development but that doesn’t mean I want them to fail. If there are enough potential buyers then that’s great.

Audio Interview with Tero Knuutinen

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

I sat down with Tero a few days ago and we recorded this fairly impromptu interview.

We talk about his most recent release, Last Zombie and then move onto his previous release Water.

Apologies for my constant “uming” and “ering” and for Tero’s mic noise.

I hope you enjoy the interview.

for Half-Life 2

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Water is a third person puzzle solving adventure type of game with an unique look and gameplay.

It’s a story about a mermaid, and fish men who aren’t fish men. A story that brings you into tears and fears.

It’s about fish people, harp instruments, swimming, and crazy priests.

“Last Zombie is a third person adventure horror game taking place in the Half-Life 2 Universe. It tells the tragic tale of a man named Paul, who is haunted by the past and emotions he has forgotten about since the Combine took over.

Life outside City 17 is dangerous, but with the chemically altered water and the Suppression Field, and the bullying of the Civil Protection force life is soon without meaning.

Can Paul find what was lost to him? Can he find a way to be a human again? “

Poll Question 262 – How often do you try the Steam “Free Weekend” promotions?

As I finished a map just now, up popped the Steam window trying to sell me stuff, which is frightfully annoying, and the frontpage was the COD MW3 Free Weekend.

I have never tried one of these promotions and wondered how many of you have.

It’s a very good idea and I am awfully curious to know how many actually buy the game afterwards.

What about you, do you try them?
