Pumpkin Night is a singleplayer mod, for Half-life 2, to be released in October 2005. It is not a short version of "Halloween HL2: The Traveler" but a small mod showing a glimpse of the Halloween HL2 story from a different perspective.

It starts in a similar fashion, a young boy on Halloween night Decides to take a detour into an old farmhouse after an evening of Trick-or-Treating. He stumbles upon the Ostium Mortis, an ancient book. But the prophecy of the traveler was only partially fulfilled, and the false traveler must be punished for his discovery.

Coming October 28th, 8 PM.
 
hey, I'm actually gonna be posting some new shots today, the mod is almost done and 90% of what we have isn't even on the site. I'm also in the works to get the release hosted by fileplanet. Party in the chat room 8:00 pm next friday. Be there.
 
I'm quite intrigued, to be honest. It's a singleplayer mod, no?
Sounds like it could be good fun.

It was postponed several times, but it's still not released :(
 
"Another day back, October 29th

I realize it is necessary and very much needed that we postpone the mod's release again. We will only postpone by a full day this time, however. I would rather release a mod that is of better quality, and postponing till saturday will make all the difference in the world. The new release date is OCtober 29th, 2005. Join us in #clubswiss for the release party at 7:00 PM (9:00 PM EST) and countdown the release at 8:00 PM (10:00 PM EST) I will be uploading some new screenshots tonight."

Well, its past the release date again, oh well.
 
Hopefully its released before halloween, because it looks awsome.
 
Mod Delayed

We're sorry to announce the mod is delayed again due to circumstances beyond our control. We plan to have the mod out by Oct 30th, 2005 -- this is a "soft" release date. We apologize for any inconvenience. We'd also like to thank everyone who showed up last night [on IRC] to show their support for the mod. Keep checking back here for updates. Remember: We're only delaying to release the best mod we can.
Thank you,
Swiss_Cheese (mod leader) and rben (mod god)

Yes you can you naughty little person :naughty:
 
You mean quantum physics? Because "Munro's palace" is just a secret government science program to develop physics in real life, to match those in HL2.

Oops, I already said too much. I'm afraid I'll have to kill you all! :sniper:
 
We've actually decided on a release date. However, we're not telling you when it is. But its pretty soon.

Your loving this aren't you......

Then whats the point in deciding a release date....

That post is nothing more that a tease!

your drunk, aren't you?
 
*secret meeting of Zombie Master team*
Angry Lawyer: "So guys, we're just going to tease them even more by telling them that we already got a release date?"
Pi Mu Rho: "Yeah. I'd love to see the look on their faces when we tell them we've just been watching gay porn!"
*end of meeting*

I can see where you're going to, Angry Lawyer! :O
 
The point in deciding on a release date, and not telling you, is so that we don't keep going "Oh, lets add this before we release". It stops feature creep.

And by not telling you when, we cover ourselves for any problems meeting the deadline.

The bad thing is, is that we can't post those 'OWNED!' pictures when you don't meet the deadline :(

I new you'd say that.

So you haven't decided on a release date, its like a 'when its done' kinda things.

Well i must admit, perfection is the key!

Good job:thumbs:

I will buy some spare boxers, just in case.
 
Hi, we are hoping to release today, final compile should be completed now (I'm at work atm) and after that its just a couple of technical things (like making a couple config changes) and i upload the files to the server(s). ppl in the chat room will be getting the dl links first, I think they've earned it. Later.

Too bad I'm banned there :p

That other guy that posted a fake link is soo lucky :p
 
I checked this morning and the mod is out and I'm downloading it now. Its too bad its after Halloween, but I still have some candy left I can eat while playing it.
 
Just beat it, the last bit was really laggy on my system. :( Way too many NPCs in one area. And when the pumpkin guys first poped up I was scared, and it's hard to scare me. Kudos.
 
Okay, i've gotten to the mansion and i've turned on the lights, go the gas can, got the spray paint, got the key, but now i have no idea what to do... i can't unlock the door to the attic with the key, and i've tried hitchin that loop that hangs from the roof onto the tractor, but it doesn't do anything when i tow it... i also found that piece of wood, but i don't know what it does... can anyone atleast give me a clue on what i'm supposed to do... i don't need a full on walkthrough, but atleast show me what to do next. Thank you in advance.

When you tow it, a box goes up. Get in the box (it's in the basement) and let it go up. But it's very buggy and the tractor has the strength of a skateboard, so you may just stop halfway through :/
 
So i got the key, stuck it in the book, it made some noise, and then nothing... what doth i do now? so confuzed :x
