Apostate's Abode. I can't believe that I posted this four months ago! Where has that time gone?? I've had to put this little side project to one side, but I will be picking it up at some point. Gotta get Half-Life: The Core done first as that's taken a back seat for FAR too long.
Sam has been a God damned trooper on Phantom Fury, leading the charge on the 3D Art and Level Design fronts, pouring on more effort than I can imagine. Passionate and talented in equal measure, if you can support his recovery he absolutely deserves it.❤️ gofund.me/ddf570a2
The deal fell through. The collaboration has been cancelled. Guess it's back to Goldsource for now. We'll still post an update, but we'll move it forward by one day to align better with reality.

We are very excited to announce that we recently signed off on a pretty significant deal! Maurice Andrews, the protagonist of Half-Life: The Core is coming to a certain popular Battle Royale title in the near future. More info coming on the 31st of April.
We just posted a progress update over at ModDB. You can check it out here: moddb.com/mods/the-core/…
"We're sorry, but all of our advisors are busy at the moment. Please hold and we will attempt to connect your call shortly."
Awww... but it's right there for when we're done with our taxes😓

The Black Mesa Internal Messaging System (BMIMS) is a good way to keep your colleagues up to speed on recent developments, as well as voicing your uhm... various grievances. Credit to @lazygamereviews for the voice work from SOOO long ago he may have forgotten he did it for us❤️
I reckon 2024 should be "The Year of The Core." The Core: 2024. I don't know what that means yet, but it sounds good.
I wrote an article over on ModDB to coincide with these recently posted images. You can check that out here: moddb.com/mods/the-core/…

Half-Life 25th anniversary Half-Life Deathmatch Map Competition Thing! Make map! Win prize! (maybe) twhl.info/competition/br…
Clearing out some hard drive clutter and found a whole load of files backed up prior to shutting down the old Scotch and Coffee website. For example, a whole load of unreleased screenshots from The Core. A lot of these areas were either cut or have been significantly altered.
Half-Life: The Core has been affected by the release of Half-Life's 25th anniversary update. We're at the mercy of Valve or our coder in terms of it being playable with the recent update. For now though, reverting Half-Life to the Pre-25th Anniversary Legacy version works.
They say that it's important to take pride in your work...
How it started How it's going
How good are your speed mapping skills? The TWHL goop competition is open for another three days and four hours? Reckon you could make something in that time? twhl.info/competition/br… Image: Focalpoint by Dimitri Vujicic AKA Hundred
The TWHL competition, celebrating 20 years of TWHL competitions, is now at the halfway mark. 24 days left in case anyone hasn't started and fancies a little speed mapping: twhl.info/competition/br… There's a little Steam money up for grabs for the goopiest map.
Half-Life: The Core has made it into the Top100 on ModDB. Something that we absolutely do not deserve this year, but truly appreciate all the same. Thanks everyone.

Pink Floyd is going to lose a lot of credibility
I complain a lot that there hasn't been a truly Great HL2 mod since the early 2010s at least but HL1 players literally never stopped eatin' good
"We're sorry, but all of our advisors are busy at the moment. Please hold and we will attempt to connect your call shortly."
Worst part about being a sound designer that no one talks about is that I can't have a background video or discord call going while being productive because of the noise pollution.
More AI. It's funny to me that my free Half-Life mod has a bigger art budget than Nicki Minaj's latest project. Broke ass.
Hey guys, The song will actually be out 9PM PST // MIDNIGHT EST it COULD possibly come a TAD bit sooner but no guarantees. Nothing can/will EVER stop #GagCITY ~ no matter how many phone calls ppl make. #PinkFriday2 (the album) is out now 🫶🏽🎀. LOVE u nickiminaj.lnk.to/PF2GagCity
@Urby1986 Clearly pre-rendered. Was a hoax to begin with. Games can never have this level of detail.
@Urby1986 The Core was made by the US Government into tricking us 9/11 never happened.
@GoldsourceGold Was so hyped for the project but don't think it's ever going to be released at the pace they've been going
Today marks 10 years for me being a professional gameplay animator. Bring on the next decade!
@sncgames Thanks for the clarification! Hopefully close to release it becomes possible. Looking forward to The Core, been thr most anticipated mod for awhile!
@sncgames If I'm not too late..... How much of some of the older screenshots are still in the game? (like the Central Admin complex) cos I've heard that there's been a lot of changes and improvements
@sncgames Just paying my respects. I am happy to see the core is still going! 💪
@sncgames When creating levels for The Core, what's the easiest and toughest obstacles to tackle? Detailing? Difficulty balancing? Combat/puzzle pacing?
@sncgames Will the core had a xen level?
@sncgames @Urby1986 Does The Core have custom code? Or is mostly maps and models?
A few WIP comparison shots from Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission! These were taken from Chapter 5: Domestic Violence, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. #halflife You can learn more about Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission on the official ModDB page: moddb.com/mods/half-life…
