Luck of the draw.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't really posted anything about the Core in here over the last five days but I've been... What in the fuck is going on in here!?

Right, guess I have to use this again.

I also would have played that. Kinda like a Half-Life inspired RPG, one of the many things near the top of my list of lifetime WANT.

If I knew how to code, I would make it. If I knew how to model, code and the rest, I'd make it a standalone game.

Remember, it's due on Monday, so check on Tuesday... just before midnight.

My idea would be an ornate glass ball full of nastiness rather than a conventional grenade. Two liquids sitting in separate compartments which create a powerful explosive when they mix. You throw it and it detonates on impact.

Can't model though.

Derp on my end.

...euw. Wipe it off.

Only a few people are getting deluxe offices.

Ooh 50p. Fuck.

Also Urby, that room is either Dimbark's, yours, or mine.

JeffMOD is correct with "Dimbark". He already said it himself and ruined the game (but you can also see the door in the previous shot I posted) but as mentioned in the rules, his room is done so he gets no deluxe office.

JeffMOD, I need your favourite colour and a theme for pictures for your walls.

It's not so much that I wouldn't be getting a prize.

More that a mapping community, when asked to make a map, based on the community, shows very little interest.

Awww

*Whose

Yeah... I'm putting a dildo in your room.

First person to guess whose room this is get's a deluxe office / luxury suite. (Not counting the person who's room this is of course)

Skyrim is the last significant title that I finished. Now, I love the game, don't get me wrong, but the main questline was a snorefest. Also, the war questline, which should have been epic, was a dull walk from A, kill everyone at B, walk back to A affair.

Awesome game, but I think I'll spend more time exploring next time I play.

I'll keep working on mine, simply because when I'm done I'm going to rework it a little and then use it in The Core.

Also, why is Moaby being singled out? Lay off him guys.

Wee update...It would appear that I am not fucking around here...

PART II

You waddle out of the lift, with a manner that only a man with several thousand skittles down his pants can muster. Kevin, gleefully trots along just ahead of you.

You try to take your mind off things and look around the room you now find yourself in, every step you take producing a sound not unlike someone shaking a bag of marbles with a sausage in it. Looking up, you can see that the brilliant white walls shoot straight upwards on all sides, fading from view in a brilliant white light which conceals whatever form of ceiling is or is not up there. You glance back down at the floor, covered in jet black tiles, which aren't actually jet black at all thanks to the heavenly glow high above your head. Every step echoes beautifully around the room, regardless of the awful din produced by your undergarments.

"Where are we?" you say aloud, almost forgetting you're not alone

"You're dead." replies a sweet, tiny voice, which does little to lighten the weight of what was actually just said. You stop in your tracks, the momentum of the skittles causing you to wobble a little. Quickly, a realisation hits, and your shocked, wide eyed face falls to a resentful frown. You look down at your feet, to see Kevin sitting in front of you, a tiny paw clasped over his mouth to stop himself giggling aloud. You consider stepping on him when something catches your eye up ahead. A small white cloud is gently drifting down towards the floor, with a small, old man sat on top of it, seemingly meditating.

He sits, motionless. His head is bald, most of his face hidden by a massive amount of facial hair. He is wrapped in purple robes with golden stitched patterns all over. He opens one eye and looks you up and down, then closes it again. "I am the grand wizard Walnutcracker!" he shrieks in an insane, high-pitched cackle. "What would you ask of me?"

Without thinking, you blurt out "[blank]"

Holy shit. It's Sajo

When 10 people post an entry, the competition is closed.

Eh...

WIPAnyone else actually going to take part in this?

It's just the stock scientist. They aren't going to be based on members, I have a different plan for that.

I thought it was eight... or is that .wads I'm thinking of...

I enjoy grammar too.

...yup

I must have my wires crossed somewhere. I'm sure that the only difference with the Dreamcast cans was that the labels were all changed to real brands.

Holy fuck, Urby. I mean holy fuck.

Well, I did say that no good would come from me being left alone with a room full of cats, a jar of salsa and a bicycle pump.

Oh wait... you're talking about the Sims me...

Ignore this

finish their Half-Life franchise

I can't see that happening.

Gonna jump on this one as soon as I can. I love me some minicompo. I've got a good idea in mind too.

I'd prefer to use Spirit though to make use of prop models and custom skins so can I submit a mini mod?

º_º

Ah anime. Thanks to anime I now know that ! is pronounced: "Gargh!! *pant pant*"

Yeah, I recall reading that too. Raminator I believe, who also commented on the music and sound quality.

Dimbark got 9 votes (including urby's double vote).

I like your style.

Regarding changes to the format, I really enjoyed the first episode and I have no doubt that follow on episodes will be just as good, if not better. For that reason, I shall suggest leaving it as it is... for now.

I'm ok with everything in the video.

This is one of the worst chapters of HL but its definitly looking good and I have faith in the devs and the changes they are making.

Oooh. Ok.

The only new thing I can see in those shots are the textures which aren't even official... :rly:

Man. Whenever these come up I always wish I could model.

Also, just fyi, that line of portraits beneath the link to the video? You've omitted Dimbark and put Blitz in twice.

What Archie is trying to imply is that TWHL would be better with no Dimbark and another Blitzkrieg.

That or he just fucked up in photoshop... who knows.

Is it possible to make sprites move on the half life engine?

Vanilla or just GoldSource in general. I generally swear by the Spirit engine.

Urbs, if I change my vote to Scotch will you change your vote?

Can I vote double Dimbark?

I was :rly:

I vote for Dimbark simply for trying to get me punished all the time.

You know this by the way, because we were on TeamSpeak, but fuck me did I laugh at this. Well done.

Can't say that happened to me. Thing is, it wouldn't have bothered me that much if it had since I quicksave like there's no tomorrow.

If I had one gripe, it would be that during the sections with the car, there were some mapping errors and some invisible walls which killed it for me. I know that you are meant to speed through this area but I'm a curious bloke and I wanted to see what was out in the fields. Instead, I found myself bouncing off an invisible barrier above a waist high fence and just the other side was a wooden shack floating quite a distance above the ground.

Even Valve slips up with that though. The more freedom a player has, the more likely they are to find / break something. I found a huge chunk of ocean on Highway 17 in HL2 the other day where the leeches don't attack and you can swim all the way down to the ocean floor.

Wouldn't mind getting some of the SR games. Not got the money at the moment though and there are so many other titles I would rather buy beforehand.

Just finished this. Expectations blown out of the water. I'd say this is the best SP mod I've ever played. Better than Metastasis by a long shot.

I don't know what I played all those months ago, but it was nothing compared to what it's become. There were so many occasions where I would walk through a door and be completely shocked by what I found and even ending made me chuckle.

For those who haven't played this yet, don't deny yourself a truly entertaining experience.

Technically your overall would be 9.5/10
