Update: Nov 25 @ 11:27pm

This update is dedicated to CANAL HλLF-LIFE who thoroughly explored the map and knocked on every door.
I decided to keep working on the map for as long as people find new ways to interact with it.

* Backyard platform's weight is increased 10 times because you refuse to take a challenge. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!
* Zombine door now spawns correctly.
* Zombine room now has more light because some players didn't know that you could explore the right side.
* Backyard now has more blood. We now see how our Bella got shot. I thought I added that detail a long time ago but I was wrong.
* The second underwater room - I have no idea why you keep getting lost there! IT'S A 2 BY 3 METER ROOM!!! Added arrows.
* Bunker gas valve - added a couple of guiding lines + a blinking signal because some people didn't know what to do next.
* I also added a little story moment in that room.
* Underground crank room - added dust effects and phys_explosions to better signify rising water level.
* Office basement - added more garbage and double-checked player clips.
* Office tripmine now explodes as it should thanks to info_particle_system (Explosion_2)
* Area_window in the bunker no longer flickers.
* Thanks to CANAL HλLF-LIFE I added funny sounds for EVERY door in the office building. He kept knocking on them so I decided to reward content hunters.
* The garage combat sequence is now fixed. Those Combine soldiers should die from some sort of explosion 100% of the time.

42!

- All the nodraws I saw are now fixed
- The scaffolding sequence is adjusted based on feedback
- Zombine now breaks the door after the explosion if he's still inside. The moment was created based on TheMaster974's feedback.

Update: Oct 15 @ 2:15pm

I checked EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY BEFORE THIS UPDATE!!! Still found one nodraw issue IN THE FUCKING BACKYARD OF ALL PLACES!!! This is going to be my easter egg.
There is no such thing as perfection. At least all the gameplay and scripted sequences work as intended. Except sometimes final combines don't die in time and Dori gets door stuck. Sorce needs to be decapitated.

Everything depends on other YouTubers now. What would they say?

The schizo update!

First I want to thank TheMaster974 for testing Bella for half an hour. Thank you, Master!

This is my 15th Last Update or so. I'm getting there.

- The backyard steam is now closer to the vent
- The backyard displacement is remade from scratch
- The non-playable bunker area now contains a couple of cutscenes and is well utilized
- The underwater crank no longer pushes you down when you interact with it
- The Zombine Room - you can't interact with the light so it should stop being confusing
- The Tripmine Room - the walls are now destructible
- NO MORE FLICKERING! Mostly. Definitely not in the backyard. Moved all the roof brushes to the skybox + learned how to use Propper so my scaffolding is now 100% prop_static. Just what Jesus wanted me to do in the first place.
- Added one additional zombie with 1000hp and... what's that? The GMAN is IN DA HOUSE?!! Yeah! That's right! You can meet him now. A bit hard to get but he's there.

UE5 is going strong. Created a couple of blueprints. Even have a fully compiled map full of my level design wisdom.

AAAAAAAAAA! Bella, pls!

Guys, fellas, comrades, mah bottoms!
I'm going to start learning UE5 not in 2026 but as soon as possible. Already ordered all the necessary parts.
Otherwise I'm going to keep messing with this shit for the rest of my life. I swear Source/Hammer move assets and triggers every time I launch my map. Bella haunts me IRL.

- Minor fixes in the bunker. Added a door, adjusted lighting

4-Star Update!
Thank you so much for giving me 4 stars. Now let's try reaching 5!

- The end message now works as it should. Instead of using cl_drawhud 0 (it also turns off texts) use player_weaponstrip. That was the problem.
- Added more geometry in the bunker + a new non-playable space. I need to work harder on my floors and ceilings.
- Underground corridor now has better navigation. Harder to get lost.

Update: Sep 16 @ 1:36pm

FINAL_1.0_FINAL_FOR_SURE_YES_YES

- Added the last sequence in the office building
- Fixed "Disrupted" OST during the underwater sequence
- Checked everything with ALT+P

Now I definitely have nothing else to add.
Please, Bella, let me go! I have other things to do!!! I'm tired, miss.
I will make a sequel, I promise, but in order to do that I need some rest. I will make another story about you and it's gonna be beautiful. UE5, Lightmass, a bit of nanites, hi-res textures. But I need to learn all of it first and for that I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP!!!
