> News

Hello everybody, this news is here to announce you that the new forums are at last here, with a new skin, you can enjoy it now, and post your observations, ideas, compliments :D, critics, apply for a job and learn the latest news about the mod.

A new section "Your creations" permits you to show your work under Hammer or your Half-Life 2 models :p

We take advantage of this news to tell you the recent coming of a new texture artist (spartan117ak) who is going to be really useful to work faster.

Then, see you soon on the forums !! :)

This is a little bit late that we make you enjoy this third Media Release in what you can find 3 new screenies of the "Sewers" level from Uplink Source.

Indeed, our studies and other problems took us a lot of time, we went through few delays, but the mod isn't dead !! The proof is this map that Wenceslas is finishing, and that the team is working hard to give you the best from the Source Engine.
Hoping that thoses screenshots will make you hungry of the mod :)

  

Concerning the forum boards, having not much time and preferring working on my studies, I haven't been able to make a good skin. But my school year finishes soon (my studies too, by the way), then be prepared to have a completely new look for the forum.

By the way, we are currently looking for mappers, modellers and texture artists for the mod, so if you are interested, do not hesitate !! (or if you only want to help us, you are welcome).

En effet, comme vous l'attendiez tous (on prie tous les soirs pour que ça soit le cas) voici les nouveaux media.

Au programme : 4 nouveaux screens de la première partie du jeu (b0a1) par Frère d'Arme et ... la nouvelle bande son du jeu !!!
Les musiques de cette bande son ont été entièrement réalisées par Jon Adamich (Phoenix85), nous espérons vraiment qu'elles seront à la hauteur de ce que vous attendez.

Bonne écoute et n'oubliez pas de venir faire un tour sur notre forum pour nous donner vos avis, et vos idées !

Here is the first view of the mod : 4 screen captures and 3 renders of 3D models.

 

We are already working on the continuation to offer you the best and to make a quality mod.
Of course, some improvements can be added to better fit your desires, in any case, we hope you'll appreciate this media release !
A new version of the internal alpha has been made : 0.0.5, it has a lot of improvements for the gameplay.

Termm joined us as mapper
Seraphin54 joined us as modeler but left us

Here we go ! the team is now composed by 10 members !

A new version of the mod is now available for the team then not for you ^^ You'll have to be patient, doesn't seem but there's a lot of work :)
Few models are finished, other are in progress, like some maps and graphical effects have been added.
