A brief update on what's been happening with the project, and myself.

The project isn't dead, but the last year and a half or so has not been good to me. Will eventually make a more detailed post, but for now just know that I'm putting the pieces of my life back together and will eventually resume normal development.

[Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission @Halflife_DSM]

@strawed__ Unsure actually, I'll have to look into it. In the meantime you can always play the ModDB release, its a very beginner friendly installation, and it comes with the instructions included

[Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission @Halflife_DSM]

Got nothing to share, just poking my head in to let people know the mod's still alive, just slow as hell.

[Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission @Halflife_DSM]

This dumb post is doing better than I thought. If you like Half-Life stuff, check out the rest of this profile to learn about Decay: Solo Mission, a new HL1 mod I'm working on!

Here in Parkour Mesa, no one chooses to jump for the microwave casserole.

[Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission @Halflife_DSM]

@normalowl Not only that, but it's been confirmed several times by Valve that the Black Mesa incident actually happened in the 2000s, both by game manuals and Laidlaw himself!

(Translation: I already had this TV asset laying around and I'm too lazy to make a new one)

Some more tweaks done to the dorms area of Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission, I decided to give the larger TV props a face lift!

A fun fact about the new TV prop, it's actually a modified version of a TV from an Action Half-Life map I designed a couple years back, "ahl_lantrix". It's on Gamebanana if you wanna take a look at it!

A WIP shot of the dorms from Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission's fifth chapter.

Was never happy with how office-like the original rooms felt so I tried to add a couple minor things just to make it more feasible as a bedroom.

And yes, several elements of the dorms ARE interactive, thank you for asking!

The people have spoken...like, a LOT.

In the original version of decay, the wall behind the front desk was entirely blank, so for some flair I threw up a simple Black Mesa logo.

Was never entirely happy with the end result though, felt far too plain. So while working on this section, I decided to give it another go.

[Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission @Halflife_DSM]

@CptBwni Sort of. Decays missions all had to be crammed into a single map each, and each map rendered twice since it was co-op. As a result, the level of detail on the maps had to be spread thin as to not hit engine limits. Solo Mission however doesn't have either of these limitations

@imbraveiswear I think it was mainly just a part of me going "This is a space for reading, and this is terrible light to read in"

[Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission @Halflife_DSM]

Again, totally pointless, but for some reason this details been nagging at the back of my head. Is there a preference?

[Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission @Halflife_DSM]

This is perhaps the most "who cares" detail I've ever mentioned regarding D:SM, but for some reason it's stuck in my head.

In HL1, the office style doors have grating covering the window, but I've been using reinforced glass. Should I go back to the grating, or keep the glass?
