Good idea, atmosphere.

If you were to estimate, what percentage would you say you have completed?

I recently made sure that the mod can be played in Direct X 8, which allows for properly working spheremaps as opposed to my faked spheremaps that are used in the regular dx9 view mode. Running the game in DX8 mode makes it look more faithful to how HL2 used to look back in 2000 but I'd rather not force it on everyone just in case.

Here's a comparison between running the game in DX8 and DX9:

If you were to estimate, what percentage would you say you have completed?

The interactive Siggraph 2000 demo is completely finished and all of the core gameplay code is done, the main thing that remains to be made are the custom levels so I'd say.... maybe 60% finished? Hard to quantify that.

The mod wouldn't have much of an impact if I just blow the release load on releasing a demo (that already contains all the tech that's going to be in the main mod). I'd rather release something of substance for a full "Version 1" release.

Some point within 2026. Just assume it's December unless I say otherwise.

I made a post on Moddb to go alongside a new gameplay demo showcasing the current version of the level after Free TVs:

If you have questions regarding this mod then I suggest that you leave said question in the comments of the linked Moddb post, since they will be addressed on that page in the future.
