Hey for keeping in touch, Discord link below. Going to annoy our current programmer who is hard at work @ his fancy job now this week hopefully to get Rebel Rush going soon or an alternative way of doing so. I know the "cheevo" hunters out there want this badly but haven't had the opportunity to do so.

Remember we have grown up from our 15-17 age groups and now have our own places, gotten married, some of us have kids. One of us turned out homeless. Another one became an adult rated star. Our old lead programmer is running his own business in Canada. Things have changed drastically so I'm sorry we haven't changed or updated this for you in so long. I really truly am. [/nosarcasm]

We can keep in touch in discord

For now hopefully you've tried out HDTF :-) cheers!

This may be a very bumpy ride to test out the development branch of synergy

We are currently having some rebel rush tests going on right now.

i'd like to try some beta-tests with no achievements that way the day the "Rebel Rush" event does happen we can all play as smoothly as possible.

Take this video into example on how you'll do it. "https://youtu.be/fKLP03J6sLA?t=196"

Waiting on answers from other Devs for the Rebel Rush Schedule. Incase you wanted to know about that instead. So unfortunately I don't have an answer yet.

In efforts to publicize Hard-Life and Synergy at the same time. I'll be hosting on twitch right now. I am not a good streamer but I will try answering questions as well as playing on the official synergy servers.

Happy Gaming and I apologize for the intrusion.

Hard-Life is a mod that aims to change how you play Half-Life. The game was difficult back in 1998 but we've all nearly memorized enemy patterns and locations. Rather than raising enemy health and damage in an artificial manner, we decided to overhaul how the the AI works. Enemies are more evasive, they move quicker, react faster, and are more deadly with their aim.

Human enemies work more efficiently together to flush you out, and now bring a wide assortment of firepower with them to give you a tough time in every situation. Aliens are more aggressive and more willing to hit and run the player.

Additional enemies have also been hand-placed throughout the game to keep up the pressure, but without drastically changing the game's native pacing. There are also some new additions to the Half-Life cast, but they should all be familiar places.

Aside from increasing the general difficulty of the game, we also decided to implement extra features to the game that we feel fit the original tone, or were even reflected in concept art. Allies can be equipped with heavier firepower, and come in more forms and the same goes for your enemies too. We wanted to introduce variation to every scenario so that no firefight ever feels the same as the last.

We're also making an effort to unify assets in the game so that the world feels more cohesive. Weapons will now match in their world and player versions, and will seem a bit more functional as well. Many features added to the game should not be overly noticeable and you may find yourself wondering if certain elements were always there or added by Hard-Life.

Not many updates this week. There isn't a current
changelog for the new 56.13 of synergy.

There have been some new added features which are still a Work in progress.

For instance the shell casings update not many have noticed yet but if you shoot the smg1 or shotgun you will see that actual physics shell casings come out and hit the floor just as a normal shell casing should. They can be stepped on and moved around (client side)


Also donators have a new addition to their playermodel selection

Come back next week for the next news post

As posted on www.synergymod.net

Just a heads up. We'll try our best to keep you guys updated as much as possible.
Our coder has thrown a few updates in the past week that fixes a few issues (no changelog for that),
As you know we barely post news and updates on what's going on. We'll try to keep our changes in order.


Rebel rush event is not yet scheduled. I will keep you posted.

Every week I or another team member will be posting some updates/changelogs.
Just to keep you guys in the "know".

Thank you so much for being a part of Synergy till this very day.
We hope to release some crazy new things very soon.

Hello everyone, chaos ensues once again. This Friday we will be hosting a little event called Rebel Rush where over a hundred Rebels can only hope to match Lord Freeman's prowess. This time we'll have 128 slot server(s) going all day though Half-Life 2 and its episodes. Achievement will be available.

Event details are posted here in the event section.
