Is the new project Inf 2 or onether game?
Which engine will you use? Source? Doom3?

thanks

We are currently making something smaller/scaled down for HL2's engine. What comes after that remains to be seen.

I've read "Half-Life 2 and new Pr" and then "Plan". I didn't understand which engine we've choosen for the next project.

Yes, they're making something for HL2. No, it won't be as grand in scale as inf 2.9 was, and it won't be their final choice for engine.

At least, that's how I understand it.

If we're lucky they will add a crosshair and finally some conefire.


/jk No not Jedi Knight.

mmh, are they working on source engine but isn't their final choice???
I never seen to start a project with an engine and then change it

I think it's a classic case of wanting something to do while waiting for something that can provide the tools needed to make the next project more enjoyable to work on. HL2's engine has some major flaws in that area. I'll leave it to others to elaborate further if they feel like doing so.

On the other hand, pain is an excellent motivator.

I'll leave it to others to elaborate further if they feel like doing so.

Any further elaboration would be speculation, bordering on fantasy, so let's try that. There will be something for HL2 that will have free aim, leaning, that sort of thing. It'll look and act sort of like Inf/UT. There will be a new weapon or seven, or maybe none (the current total is 0). There might be new maps. Maybe not. Stuff from New Version Suggestions will be added on a per-whimsy basis, although of course outright derision is much more fun (and easier) than careful consideration of 10-page theses on gameplay. It's remotely possible that, when it's done, this unnamed and unmentionable thing will be unleashed to spread chaos (go chaos!) and confusion among the ignorant masses that throng to Steam's trough. Uh, but we still like you guys, really. Mad love to the proletariat.

Enjoy the enlightenment while it lasts.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

You're doing a fine job without me. And what in the hell is the title of your post?
