New Experimental Features Now Live on Steam! We are thrilled to bring you a suite of new experimental features aimed at elevating your gameplay experience. Here’s what’s new:
Fuel Tank Fire Damage: Experience increased realism and tactical depth as nearby modules progressively suffer damage when a fuel tank ignites.
Fire Extinguisher Functionality: Address fires swiftly with our new fire extinguisher feature, helping you safeguard your gear and maintain a competitive edge.
Smoke Grenades Feature (Single Player Only; Multiplayer Coming June): Currently available for single player, smoke grenades allow for strategic cover and evasive maneuvers. Excitingly, this feature will be extended to multiplayer mode in June, broadening your tactical options in team settings.
Quick Tactical Commands (Multiplayer): Enhance team coordination and strategy execution with quick tactical commands, designed to improve communication and operational efficiency.
These features are still in the experimental phase, and we greatly value your input. Engage with these new additions and let us know your thoughts to aid in their development!

An Update on Monetization
First of all, a big thank-you to all of you who've purchased the supporter pack: we have more than 300 people who've supported the game. One copy of the support pack (after Steam's share and tax) covers about a day's server cost, which means that we've secured about a year's server cost!
Currently, the supporter pack does not contain additional content. But as I previously mentioned, I will start to add content to the supporter pack once the base game is in a good state. Here's my plan:
The whole tech tree will be available in the base game (free)
The supporter pack will include additional maps (which will add new content & mechanisms)
Just like in Industry Idle, each week, one of the premium maps will be available for free-to-play as well
I feel this strikes the best balance of "providing value for the supporter pack" and "not making the game pay to win". If you have already purchased the supporter pack, there's no need to do anything: all the new content will be available for you when they are released.
A major issue has always been the train ride, and to address this problem, I have resorted to a trick known from the PlayStation 2 version: Playerfreeze. As soon as the player enters a Black Mesa passenger train, they can no longer move, thus avoiding getting stuck anywhere. This occurs at the beginning of the game as well as in the middle.
Additionally, some issues reported by the community have been addressed. Unfortunately, not all problems can be resolved, as the Spirit of Half-Life version 1.54 is too unstable, so I have tried to redesign some issues to prevent them from occurring.
The FPS is capped at 75, as the engine does not operate smoothly above this limit. Also, some cleaning up has been done on the larger maps to bring down the FPS. Nevertheless, I have now slightly increased the hardware requirements.
Thank you once again for your support and feedback.
Next, I will revise the training map a bit, as it's not really a tutorial level, but rather a challenge. This needs to be communicated better 🙂

Hello friends, we continue to work on Milf's Plaza 🛠️
Since the release, we managed to fix all the bugs you might have encountered while playing the game (well, at least we think so). And also fix localization problems. Our programmers and translators did their best for you 💜
We remind you that in the game you can already find collectible erotic cards with your favorite ladies. There are 10 of them in total, and you can get them just by playing the game. Have you already managed to collect them all? :)
Meanwhile, Texic is preparing the long-awaited root with the librarian. We've already seen a couple of animations with her, trust us, you'll love it. This red-haired "modest girl" will not disappoint you.
