Hello All,
Thank you so much for sticking with us, We released a new version on Feb 1'st almost for "Jan" but we're sticking with another release to make up for lost time.
The Code that was posted previously for this month is still valid for this release.
Here's a bit of changelog
-Entity DLight Fixes (Battery / Glowstick / Snarks)
-Hard-Life UGC Tool updated to include what kind of release model/map/... so on
-La...
Well thank you all for being very patient . We've actually just recently placed a simple AI Director to push enemies / help the player (when needed) on the "Harder" Difficulty.
Now this is the beginning stages of what will go on in the future of Hard-Life. This is not a Left 4 Dead style AI Director. It is currently in its infant stages.
So now Hard-Life has become very randomized (In "Harder" Difficulty) - We push you to try it out & give us some feedback.

Patrons!
I have some slightly exciting news, some not so great but 100%.
I'm moving my office to a new spot , This will cause some slight delays due to getting rid of items/furniture & so on. I still have pushed a new update for Patreon which if you have access to this picture please OPT in to the new branch in order to use the new dedicated servers.
Closed beta guys (normal branch) will have only 4 slots available
Patreon will have 6 available & I will be send...
2022-12-15 21:37:08 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,

- Hard_1a3A fixes

- Hard_2a 1/2a/2e fixes
- Barney now holster's his gun when not in use and idle
- Barney pulls out his gun when hearing player shots

Filtering is possible with this new entity, it will be able to remove certain classnames from moving to certain area's with a created filter. So for instance we can utilize this brush to save on ent cap's (512) on hard_1a0e.
TLDR in BOLD
- Patreon map will have dual sections now to show off new features (as video shows)
- New Gibs sets for Humans
- func_ladder will be able to be trigge...
As promised we're pushing the October branch potentially tonight and will still provide a mid November update as well.
These changes include the weapon_heal (medkit) that can be utilized for the singleplayer/multiplayer aspect. (Still a WIP - Please Experiment)
The custom model system for weapons has broken unfortunately (I'm not sure when and how) - But this is something we're currently looking into.
The Acid Shotgun (Model) will be utilized in Hard...
2022-11-01 17:26:08 +0000 UTC View PostHello - We are pushing update for the 30th for everyone - Patreon users will have an included techdemo map and medkit weapon (explained in changelog) we are creating and will continue updates on a monthly basis for Patreon users only . Other users will have to wait until a situation like this happens again where we feel the need to update closed beta. Most of the new patch list includes - Barney no longer reloads twice

Small sneak peek of just one simple feature that will be sure to make this season very scary.

Halfway through we had a couple of audio issues but here is part 1 of the hour long interview we had with some friends.

Hey Patreon members!
I've added a little intro to the Hard-Life launcher. Hopefully works for all of you. If you have any bugs on your end please let me know. I feel it's a bit of a nostalgic touch. Interview Part 1 should be out soon since there was a lot of audio issues I've been attempting to get it sorted out somehow. Might just have to scrap saving the audio and push the content for you guys. It's just taking too long.
The new September branch password is : <...
2022-09-23 03:32:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
I know you've been waiting for some fresh content. We've pushed over a whole lot of fixes and new maps. This means your old saves won't work anymore (sorry) I know... Its rough getting to the end of Hard-Life .
We have everything connected from hard_1a4k to hard_2a2c - Its a couple of maps we are working on to make better - That means the "Power Up" chapter is now playable including some "On a Rail" maps. (Not all yet) ...
2022-08-15 20:15:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello Hard-Life Patrons, Small list of fixes below & the ability to add more atmospheric audio support is now implemented into Hard-Life for the August Release.
We will also be including a beta version of hard_2a1 "Power Up" (unfinished)
Added a couple of Gifs to show differences in layout and potential ideas we may stick with in power-up (Will upload more soon) . We also have multiple texture issues especially with the track textures not lining up correctly - each must be adjusted individually & having to completely remake some sections . Some parts of Half-Life trusted that no one could tell the difference of a power node from far away... Or a pipe/cement sized discs just hovering in the air.

Hello Patrons,
If you've opted into the patreon branch you may see this guy running around now. His activities are still being worked on so if you do run into issues, we are aware. We will be fully implementing this grunt into the game in some sections. Depending on how well we can make his activities & AI work.
If you are a patron and don't know how to do this yet... Well you can just check into #exclusivity channel pins.

We will soon be including some test maps that are not available to anyone else for patreon users only. I will be sending each of you a message through patreon with the development branch password. This branch is optional but only patreon users will have them.

Seems like we may grab some attention from Valve Employees for making these moves.
Still waiting on our end & just adjusting to this early night time schedule.
:(
Hello,
If anyone is interested in sending a 960x540 image for the Hard-Life Banner on discord
Please send in discord "#exclusivity" chat.
This will be added to our pool of what we change it from. Month-to-Month
Any non-patreon-users will have to submit their own and be voted in.
2021-10-18 18:25:42 +0000 UTC View PostValve has approved our Playtest demo.
BUT... it's not out yet...
Turns out we are the first mod to use playtest features that valve has provided.
Now valve is having a rough time trying to allow us to continue our "playtest" feature.
Since we were ahead of the curve and basically immediately implemented "PlayTest" once it was released. Valve aut-approved the new APPID & Demo features included. This is clearly not their normal process and I'm sure we'll ge...
Hello,
It has been a very long time since we've posted on patreon but we've had our main focus on our development and I'm sure as you've seen our #closed-beta channel has been consistently moving.
We are going to be moving forward with an exclusive development branch of Hard-Life that is only accessible via branch password. This password will change every 1 to 2 months. You will have access to all of our developer testmaps & private collection of Half-Life Deathmatc...
