very sad news, half-life fans are gonna be disapointed
hello, you may have seen me around the forums in the past asking for help and a resources. well i was working on a half-life clone/conversion for the quake2 engine to run with McZonk's quake 2 port.
i with the alot of help from paril [Q2 coder] got pretty far in filling in the fine details, well we were going to release half-life death match, because he was concerned about copy right issues. so it was a pretty good effort, we worked on the game a while, and got half way through finishing it when paril told me it wasn't really worth following up until McZonk released a stable quake 2 port, and at that point he went back to other projects and i decided it was time to upgrade my computer and was looking forward to it since mine was pre 2000 ;)
so we took it to a friend to fixes computers and i left my dad to talk the technical details over with him, so i find out he's wiped my hardrive because apparently he told me to back it up, well thats 5 years of hard work down the drain on that decision because i tried to avoid backing up my computer. not only am i angry at my dad, but angry at my self for my laziness. backing up my slave drive; it just never occurred to me.
not only that but i was kinda oblivious to some minor complications windows can throw at me.
so I'm really sorry, i was looking forward to releasing this but, well, i don't have the patients or the will to start from scratch.
you can have a look at my site (in my sig) to see a fews screens, but it was only 1% of what i got up to before i got the chance to back up my computer.
I'm going to take a break from making games for the time being, i need some time, but I'm not giving up until i create a descent game for my favorite console.
oh well, future people in psp devopment, learn from my mistake and back everything up.
cya around the forums
