I like it !

As a former Dev I know how hard it is to keep pushing a mod AND keep a constant stream of "Media Updates". A lot goes into it like what screenshots to pick, what developments to say, or if you want to make a promise for the future or not.

You did good on it.

They brought their signature Bad Guy Bad Box.
Its contents are undoubtedly...

God took a ride on the Sadism Express!

He was the Front Bumper...

Just checking in...

Hope you're doing well, the lot of ya.
Remember to take your breaks, stay hydrated, and put your life first and your projects second.

Also, POSTURE CHECK !

Same like a Great Game is lost among a bunch of cheapskate trends, so are millions of comments in the flood of other videos.

Little echoes and embers of people who will forever live in the dream you were building, and people who will be laying in a hospital bed filling it with the assets of them to make their little corner of a dying world better.

I was one of them...

Laying down in the Hospital for a year, prior to release, I kept following the designs of your world to fill the dying dreams of mine. Acid rains painting tears on the murals of a long lost smile.

And I am just one. One of thousands. Thousands that will never find a way to reply, comment, express.

Of course Among Us will get more reception, of course Meme Mods will have a million videos. The way the world flows is trends, and offsprings of trends.

Simply because you were original doesn't mean you were wrong.

Hours to months to years, concepts to ideas to templates to retail.

Worlds rising from the black void of the Hammer grid, that will resonate in minds for lives until our hearts stop beating, until my heart stops beating.

Whenever you think of how little the achievement is, remember the Light City.

Light City was filled with stars, on posters and the lamps in the streets. Everyone knew a star, everyone had a star, everyone loved their star.

And when the power died, when the lights faded and gave way to the night sky, not one of them knew the millions of lights shining above were the true stars.

You are such a star, shadowed by the infinite pollution, lost in the night.
I am the observer beyond the city wall, gazing up in the sky.

Your rusted commerce empire, torn by storms and rains, will be a world I return to at depressed nights.

Because a dream shared is a life accomplished.

And for that I thank you.

Trying again after 10 Years ?

Let's see where it'll go this time around.

"This is you. In fact it is your copy, or your actual self.

They will remain here, to make sure the nightmare never ends for them.

It is the price for ending the PTSD, at least for one of you..."

Honestly the issue of Media Updates relies a lot on Mod Activity.

If a Mod goes long without any media updates, it will most likely be claimed as dead.
Yet the opposite extreme applies if media updates are posted too often, in which case the overstocking leads to a quick burnout in the development team.

I would say keep the Media Update format to flexibly reflect the Progress being done.

The Longest Time a mod in active development can go without regular media updates is around the 3-5 Months mark.

If it goes near this range, try dropping Media two weeks in a row with one Progress Update.
Following that, you can keep a stock of new content in the back for the following refresh.

The takeaway is that Media reflects a lot on the sustainability of a Mod, and it should be "Rationed" as such.

Now all we need is a Pink Flamingo neon sign.
And then World Peace is achieved.

Great News indeed !

Surprising how much tension can be drawn from a few misinformed articles across the web.
Oh well, what's in the past is in the past.

The vaccines for COVID are rolling out of the oven and soon this dreadful year will be a memory too.

Until then; keep safe, wash your hands, and don't forget to feed the Velociraptors.

Best of luck in resolving your background claims/issues !

There is a lot of detailed work invested in the Mod and I am sure whichever group/party is at the table will realize the promotion potential at stake and allow the continuation without many alterations/obstacles.

:)

Well, that didn't work...

So I read over a few segments in confusion before scrolling down...
And finding one of my comments from 2011...

I would like to congratulate my former self on not knowing what life will become...

And in the name of my present self, I wish to ask just how this made it back to my update feed.

Okay... Okay... OKAY !
Somehow, and don't ask me how, you managed to put Crysis 1 vibes on THE SOURCE ENGINE.

The Engine, which hates outdoors and plant life the most, got CRYSIS VIBES.

Did you have to sacrifice a firstborn to make VRAD not commit die ?

Red rooms are economically effective !
Every time a Victim is brutally slaughtered, they give the room a fresh coat of paint !

Results :
Yes...

Just follow the large power cable...

True Ending.
A Masterpiece.

Man Free Experience
Now including G-MAN.

ಠ_ಠ You lied to me.

For how many years have I thought that the Citadels were just pushed in through the Portals and then anchored...

Cry of Fear worked out well because it had that old-game aesthetic.
Try to keep everything on low detail, and use Max Payne 2 for reference.

So far you are doing a good job with preserving the detail.
Big claps and may the Designer's Block never catch you... <3

The quickie question all of us have on our mind... (probably)

Will there be a new animation for actually aiming down through the holo or are we still sticking to the "Squint Your Eyes" ADS ?

I've been waiting... For so many years...
Welcome back KritterMoon & co.

;-;

I don't think any other Beta mod gave the Proto Citadel spotlights...
And I have to say they look great !

The change from green to orange atmosphere is a new feeling so we'll see where that goes.

Going back through my old comments.
I seriously want to punch myself in the face for passing my illness as a favor card.

Rest assure it hasn't, and won't, ever happen again.

If anyone was actually concerned :
Still alive, had to get a stem cell transplant in 2018, but still kicking!
