You believers and Source guys should come together and as theraphy, make an unofficial Half-Life 3 or less ambitous, Episode 3. There's enough leaked stuff to give you an idea on where to go. Hell, I would even throw in a separate forum and hosting, just to see where things might go

It would probably end up like City 17: Episode One. That was the last mod for Half-Life 2 I really followed through development on moddb.

@blackdog see you at the snack bar

Yes, they kept trying out various ideas that lead to dead ends. Thing is, even if they somehow managed to reach the best possible conclusion, there would still be unsatisfied people. I've seen this happen to several other franchises. Developers or ip holders will simply ignore the said franchise out of fear of it not living up to expectations. Maybe they don't know what the fans expect from Half-Life 3 anymore. That's why hiring some diehard fans from the modding community would make the best choice - they know what they would like to see and they would find an actual way past that metaphorical wall. I'd say this is where the "freedom" of project movement at Valve played against them. If you don't have a deadline and can just put a project on hold like that, then it's never going to be done.

The only way Half-Life 3 would ever meet expectations and actually get out of development hell is for valve to hire a bunch of top tier community modders/mappers to develop it.

Excellent article and it confirms what many of us had already decided long ago. Half-Life is dead.

Heads up, I'm doing an accurate recreation of a section from Tobruk.

Just one more month

But that would mean breaking out of character. @Sprony are you sure you want people to know you're not actually a cybernetic organism.. living tissue over metal endoskeleton?

@Squad what happened to Foy?

The Thing remake? 2011 edition something

It's looking pretty rad, but you need more tree variation and pointy tops.

@blackdog It's an official screenshot used for advertisement. Here's one taken by me:

It's such a fun game to play. Though, I think I enjoyed Far Cry 3's environment more. I really like exotic foliage.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) had some cool western levels. Maybe you should take a look for inspiration:

Maybe you just need to keep getting disappointed with her. In that case, keep doing what you're doing.

I finally get to play this game - appropriate music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7JTXxyqIeA

I wanna be the very best like no one ever was.

It's been on hell of a ride trying to get this level into a playable state and I can honestly say that I learned a lot during the process. I know it's rough around the edges and that's okay - I'll continue to improve it once the contest is over. Peace out!

@BJA I checked them out on your portfolio after you posted that video. It's definitely one of the most original environments I've seen. I can only imagine how much fun it was to work on it.
