I don't encourage rushing projects but is there a trajectory for a launch
At the moment no. Summer at the earliest if things develop well. Unfortunately Aspects has had to step down from active programming but we've already picked up someone new. Will be introducing them soonTM.

Main things we need developed for launch is what's outlined here. Character Creation, Stat System, and Crafting as the core pillars. Character Creation is up first.

Potential summer launch is surprising ngl, I thought this would be a hl2rp² situation with a late year release.

If it is up in summer I might have to check it out while all my disgusting friends who go to Uni are "spending time with family" instead of drinking with ME

Summer is best case but we're gonna make sure we have everything ready for a launch.

We're also talking to someone to grt the ground work going on a custom map. Not for launch but hopefully to have something to show off by launch.

me staying in my uni city during summer :/
Nah, but this project looks amazing and will get me back into hl2rp properly for the first time in 4/5 yrs.

Dunno whether I bring in a new character or just do Erika or Esme again, they were goated characters.

How are you still feeling about this?
Consistency in programming has been poor. We are doing updates in the discord which I am planning to do a full update here but I have been waiting to receive footage of our character creator system for sometime now. We have a custom map underway however that is making good progress and will probably be ready for launch. I recommend joining the Half-Life 2: After-Life Discord as we post sneak peaks there.

**Updated Release trajectory**

At the beginning of the year when our end of year 2024 update post went out the earliest trajectory was a summer release. Unfortunately in regards to the programming side things have been slower then desired for numerous reasons on no single party, some myself. We are currently looking to pick up additional programmers to speed up development so we can have multiple things worked on at a time rather then one system at a time.

As it currently stands the character creation system is in a tier 0 state, we are hoping to show this off soon but there is still a lot of work to be done on it and then our other core pillars need to be worked on being crafting, and the stat/S2RP system. These core pillars are what we need for a bare minimum launch state.

We intend to do tests in the lead up to launch, some simple system tests to hop in and play with the new systems to provide feedback on them ,and we will likely do a weekend long beta test that will run like a proper HL2RP event where we'll do a 2-3 day play period.

The custom map has made steady progress as well which we will use for launch and once those beta periods and a proper launch timeline can be set in stone we'll open up support to be able to help flushout the map in various ways.

We are hunting for more programmers so if you know anyone who is a gmod developer then please feel free to share. By the end of the year is now our hope.
