HL2 Halloween: Pumpkin Night released

[blinking halo]

hmm i tried it and i really didnt like it at all.. the trick or treating was dull (the voices were terrible) the levels were extremely dark (more so than is necessary for a scary game) and boring. i got to the tractor, after which i got stuck in a small ditch because the crappy things highest gear has the traction power of skateboard. NOT worth the download

Complaints besides the bugs:

The protaganist is an asshole with annoying speech. The trick or treating was tedious (getting ARMOR? WTF?) We had the animations play over and over, you can't move and the candy givers don' say a thing. It would've been nice if we had more content like an egging sidequest and more models and characters. It is darker than Doom 3 due to weird lighting errors and although very minor the baseball bat is a crowbar in the GUI.

The only problems I had with the map are as thus;

1. Poor Model Lighting. Could barley see my NPC Buddy at the beginning, and the "Halloween" banner wasn't visible.
2. The pumpkin mask was hard as heck to see out of. I only put it on as I was approaching a lighted house.
3. There's 1 treat giver that doesn't actually give you the treat, and just walks away with it. And I was facing the doorbell as instructed.
4. Poor horsepower of the Tractor. Took me awhile to figure out how to make it go.
5. I didn't understand the ending of it. My NPC buddy told me to "stand in the circle". What circle?
6. The Clockwork King's voice needs to be more clear. Could barley understand what he was saying.
7. Where's the rain? I saw rain in 1 of the screenshots.

I never had a crash issue with the tractor. BTW, I downloaded the .rar file instead of the .exe.

Guys. The patch has been released.

Yeah we didn't have time to put all of the features in the mod that we would have liked to. This is mostly due to the fact that we only have one mapper and one modeler, me. Plus we had a stone-hard deadline of Halloween afterall. That bad lighting was a shock to us all too, that and the tractor crash are source problems/conflicts, and since we dont know the inner workings of source, we A) couldn't predict these problems and B) have no idea where they came from and no idea how to fix. I might have found a workaround for the tractor, howver. Anyway, with the patch out now and the walkthrough soon to come, we have a really great mod on our hands. 99% of all the responses have been very complimentary. and I love to see that some gamers are skilled enough to solve the puzzles at the farm, I'm very impressed.

I've stopped at the farm for now, i'm on my own, i'm cold, and i'm scared. I'll come back at another time, i'm pathetic i'm aware of that.

I've learned something else.

Spoiler

You can wear the pumpkin mask again once you get away from the house and pass the map load.

I found it pretty cool kickin' pumpkin-headed freak @$$ wearing it.
