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.

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!!!

Update: Sep 15 @ 11:38am

Ready for Bolloxed, TheMaster974 and whoever is left.

- Additional optimization in the backyard
- Zombine elevator now takes longer to activate
- You won't get stuck on a Zombine elevator
- The underwater sequence now takes longer to complete thanks to a newly added gate. It's now more dynamic
- The stairs from the basement to the office building now contain a little platforming section
- Added a cable in the garage for visibility purposes
- The elite combine now flies towards the switch thanks to a phys_magnet. Neat! Additional visibility tool
- A little friction in the backyard before jumping down

Sometimes last_legs won't turn off. Fuck Source.
Final text doesn't work. Seriously, suck my dick, Source!
Some sounds won't turn on. Eat my ass, Sorce!!!
Sorry for the large file size. Hammer at one point deleted half of my .VMF file. I now save everything in as many places as I can. Source needs to be stopped. Just stop.
