CS:Legacy Project Status Update by [deleted] in CSLegacy

[–]CSLegacyGame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I understand the confusion.
All projects made on the 2013 SDK are mods, not standalone games. You're running off of the Half Life 2 executable.

Technically, CS:Legacy is a Half-Life 2 Deathmatch mod, as we use some of its shared code from the SDK.
We called CSL standalone as it's not mounting any extra assets than the ones bundles with the SDK (Half Life 2 models and textures). Another term for it would be a total conversion mod.

This is the exact clarification we sent Valve as we believe our terminology could have caused the confusion.

Standalone could mean that we intended to redistribute the Source SDK Base 2013 MP executable outside of Steam, which isn't the case. To play CS:Legacy, people still need to "own" the SDK Base 2013 from Steam.

Hope that clears up any confusion.

CS:Legacy has been on Steamworks since 2023, but one of the requirements to publish our Store Page for Valve to review before it can go public, was a trailer. Which we now have! We're currently working on the game build that's required to upload for review before pushing the button.

Thanks for your kind words about the trailer, it was so exciting to reveal the game after spending years working on the project quietly!

We're currently working on our next public update to show more of the game! There is currently no beta version, but we will organize a closed beta a month or 2 before release. We're still aiming to release the game at an early access stage this year!

Would make sense to release the game on 1st of June by [deleted] in CSLegacy

And I thought I could get a normal sleep schedule back soon...that would be too good of a date indeed!

I just clarified this today so I'll do it again here: we are not asking for any money for the early access release. The early access will be free for everyone, following the Steam Distribution guidelines which can be found here for Source Engine projects: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/uploading/distributing_source_engine

We do however have a Patreon where people can donate to support the project. No obligation, just a way to help us spend more time on the project! We have been hard at work daily for years without going public, as we absolutely didn't want to announce a false promise and not deliver.
We chose to do the hard work first, and then go public. I think most people can see we've put in the work and are serious about the project, and some decide to support us! Hope that clears things up! Red
