Natural Selection: Source?

[VippiN]

Anyone know if this is going to happen?

 

[r1y23]

that would be cool, but it lags bad on hl1 so just think what it would be like on source

 

[Ames]

Yes. Doesn't lag for me.

i read something on their site that said they are hopeing for a 10 000 $ grant from valve to make the game

 

[Insano]

They're busy making it. I read it in an interview some time ago.

And by something you mean... nothing?

1) There is natural selection:source that they are currently in the process of making. As of now they are making new art assets (models) and making high res textures (probably converting originals to high res, or from scratch). They have not started any code for it yet and are waiting to get all the art done so they have something to work with. This is NS on the source engine. They hired additional people to work on the art while development on normal NS continues. NS:Source is still probably a year or more away seeing as how long it takes to create art, especially source quality and keeping with the high visual standards of NS.

2) What your referencing is natural selection 2, the sequel to natural selection. This will be a full fledged retail game created by flayra's company unknown worlds. And Valve has nothing to do with giving them a "grant" (how does that even make sense, why would valve give them money?). They are looking for prospective publisher to get a initial $50,000 investment to produce a demo for them to see if they want to give it the green light for full production (and additional funding). This is years away and will be a full $50 retail game when released. Don't expect it anytime soon.

i thought i read somewhere they were looking into making their own engine.

either way, it'll be exciting when it comes out!

 

[AciD]

Making their own engine? That would just rock

.... What is Natural Selection and is it SP or MP?

 

[pvtbones]

there is a natural selection source and some time down the road Flayra will release the sequel to Natural Selection, Natural Selection2 a full retail game.

.... What is Natural Selection and is it SP or MP?

it's one of the most popular and best mods for the original half life

EDIT: it's multiplayer

 

[Flayra]

Hey guys. Yep, we're working on it. It's going to be a huge amount of work but we're doing everything we can to get a release for you sooner rather then later.

As far as funding and engines go, there is some confusion here. We are making NS:Source, but we're also beginning work on NS2, which will be a full game released to retail. We're still in the fundraising stages but things are moving.

Stay tuned,

Thought so. And, yay Flayra, for working on perhaps the only mod that's ever proven to be enthralling over a long playing period for me.

which engine do you use for ns2? source engine or another?

 

[Pesmerga]

I'm pretty sure they said they are making NS a standalone retail game, a la CS Retail.
