I was just thinking about you the other day, hope you're doing well and glad to see you're still making cool stuff!

My goldsource days are likely over but if I ever decide to go back I know where to go for prefabs ^^

Elegy sounds like exactly the thing to get me to try Godot. This is a super ambitious project but I know from your previous stuff and watching your tutorials that you're capable of doing it!

There is not. Odd coincidence though, especially given how uncreative my train of thought was when picking it

Listening to these took me back, all the ones that were in the demo... And all the tracks hold up. Thank you for sharing them!

I do not, sadly... One of those things I guess I never archived in my move-with-me folders, and as far as I can remember it was 2 PCs ago so I don't think I have the files lying around on another machine either...
If memory serves this was for Map A Room so it might be in there, but it's also a second one - It's been so long I can't recall if there was a second one that was going to come out or if I just made two rooms for the existing release.

10/10 would remember I still had to change my avatar on TWHL specifically so it was up to date for this map again

It's good to see you again, and I'm glad things are going well (all things considered anyhow). Its nuts to me that Scott's in high school already - I remember being on TWHL when he was born!

Tastes change over time. I know I don't get as captivated by action games as I used to when I was a kid, (I do still enjoy them!) and often times I'll want to relax with something a bit more slow-paced. Could be you've lost interest in gaming in general, but maybe you just need to try some new genres, find something that helps you unwind instead?

Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant. A great example of some of the best mapping HL1 has to offer, in all its different flavours.

Now to figure out where those last two discs were hidden...

Certainly is the imposter, because I ain't 30. Ha!
Okay well I don't know what number Knockaround Guys translates to and I can't find any other movies he was in in 2002 so I'm stumped lol

Unless you meant what age he was when he was in XXX...

I don't get the riddle in the title though. Not a reference to something I'm familiar with.
Commented 4 years ago2020-10-03 16:52:34 UTC in vault item: Bridge The Gap Comment #102924
Absolutely great despite what Urby says. The map is somewhat poorly illuminated (getting no favours from goldsource's "Flashlight uses lightmap resolution, lightmap resolution scales with texture size" issue) but no worse than many areas in classic HL mods such as USS Darkstar, and leaving you in complete darkness for a much smaller amount of time - I never had to pause in complete darkness to let my flashlight recharge, for instance.

Combat is on the light side, but paced and balanced well for the exploration focus the map has - You never get bored, but you also never feel overwhelmed or like the map is constantly throwing new enemies at you.

Brushwork and textures are, as always, given that SnC polish that makes me super jealous. Somewhat dull lighting aside, map looks damn good, though I'd recommend toning down the amount of lens flare/corona sprites by cast lights, because while they add some visual noise, none of those bulbs are bright enough to actually produce flares unless you're looking through a lens that was smeared with petroleum jelly and then pounded into the dirt.

The amount of detail you've managed to cram into this map while still allowing it (just barely!) to compile is nothing short of mastery of the craft.
Not that you needed them, but bonus points for the piped-in music in the lobby, and the awesome rocket launch.

I would be a little excited for Pokemon on the Switch... If I had one.

Nothing else is really grabbing me this month.

Okay, another 40 minutes, I figured out how to get (most of) the out of reach ones legitimately, and I'm pretty sure I've gotten it down to 1.

It's taunting me.
Commented 5 years ago2019-09-07 03:34:07 UTC in vault item: Open The Door... Comment #102253
Well, about 40 minutes in and I still have around 16 to go...
I also had to noclip a few times because I'm not up to snuff on my speedrun techniques and don't know how to get that much vertical air.
There's also an invisible wall near the ladder - presumably that's a bug. Will try to find the remaining buttons tomorrow, but for now I sleep.
