We, the Half-Life 2: Short Stories Team, have already released the Controllable Manhack code as well as the code for the Alien Grunt and the Alien Controller, but now we have decided to release the whole of the Human Error source code. You can download it using Tortoise SVN from the url: http://hlssmod.net/he_code. Note that a lot of the code is old and created before I knew Source as well as I do now.So, with this release, you might be wondering: what about Human Error - Episode Two? Well, currently we are working, as you might know, on Water. Water is a third person adventure-puzzle game, and it's the type of thing we might be interested in doing more of down the line. Whilst doing mods within the Half-Life 2 universe is easier and has its own appeal, creating our own worlds is starting to become much more interesting. ![]() We don't really have anything like the Controllable Manhacks, which for us was a big hook the first time around. The plan was, at one point, to make HE2 part as a co-op campaign, but making a multiplayer mod needs a bigger crew, with more playtesters and servers to test the mod on. It's something that would be harder to organize for a team that has always been a little on the small side. So, whilst we haven't given up on Human Error, right now our minds are on other adventures. With Water we are trying out all kinds of new gameplay features that we wouldn't be able to do in the FPS world of Human Error, and we're having a lot of fun doing it. Hopefully you'll like it too. Water is currently looking for two voice actresses. While all the dialogue is done by speech bubbles, there's still pain sounds, attacking sounds, laughter, breathing sounds, and so on. The two characters are Water herself and the main villain. If you are interested contact me or Henri. UpdateA small patch has been released to Human Error Co-op. It includes fixes the HLTV and map voting. You can download the 1.0.6. Patch here.Permalink: http://hlssmod.net/index.php?page=0&news=18 Hide full article list |
