Best mod news... ever

Postby wiggle987 on Fri Feb 25, 2005 7:13 pm

A recent review with Unknown Worlds has revealed that they have decided to port NS to source

Computer Games - Are there any plans to port the original Natural Selection mod to Half-Life 2/Source?

Charlie Cleveland - We haven't spent much time with the SDK yet (been too busy with current NS development), but we've started to talk about NS:Source. We're probably going to start porting it shortly after 3.0/3.1. Instead of taking many months to create on big version, we will probably port just the game over first, then start redoing artwork, maps and gameplay a piece at a time. We want to release smaller versions more frequently, and that's why 3.1 and the first NS:S version will come relatively quickly.

We've gotten really excited about some of the new features we could implement on Source, like the Onos charge that sends marine ragdolls flying, aliens bashing down weldable doors, marines arriving to their map start via dropships, etc. Once the loose ends are tied up on 3.0/3.1, we'll get right to work. We've been staffing up in anticipation.

I thought it was old news at first (we all knew this one on the table) But this is great. I think its a very good idea and one that a lot of old hl1 mod should consider. It will be a lot easier and people will be playable far sooner.

I always thought it was pretty clear it would happen eventually. But it's nice to know for certain. I don't reckon it'll see the light of day for at least a year though.
