News has been slow lately mostly because we're all busy. Weird eh?
In the next update for Sven Co-op, monsters that have the ability to hear will react to combat sounds from their allies. Basically, if you or a monster start shooting off a machine gun, other near-by friends will will run over to investigate. (Provided that they're not busy doing something.) This has a good deal of impact on gameplay, as monsters no longer stand around staring off into space while their friend is trying to kill something.



Click the image above to view a quick demonstration of the feature. Nothing is scripted. Just for clarification, the map shown in the video is not apart of the mod, it's just a test map. You will need the latest version of DivX in order to watch the video. The video is 4mb.
In the next update, monsters will also run over to the corpses of their friends. If a medic happens to run over to a friend's dead body, he may be able to revive them in time.
That's all for now I'm afraid, I hope to have another update available when I get a chance.

Not related to HL but thought you might want to know.
Former President Ronald Reagan died Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 93. At least two of his children and his wife, Nancy, were at his bedside, according to the former president's Los Angeles office. Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, will be remembered as the man who launched the modern-day conservative political movement with the "Reagan Revolution.

After we announced TF2 on the HL1 tech, we made the decision to move it to the Source Engine. It is still in development and we will be announcing more on that title after HL2 ships.

This one is going to be short and sweet. Story developments are currently being worked on. Additionally, more concepts are also on the way. Busy schedules and exams have gotten in the way of more media. Nevertheless, I promise new stuff that will really capture you guys very very soon. I just ask that you keep visiting the forums and keep checking back. Things are about to pick up around here, I promise.
