Well, DPGames has moved rather miserably dragged itself into the new year. You see, my PC was upgraded over the holidays and unfortunately due to compatibility GoldSource mapping is no longer an option. OiFH and The Complex have both been cancelled and their respective MODDB pages have been removed.
So, Source. That's where its going. I'm slowly working my way through the Valve Wiki trying to make head or tail of things but luckily The Hunter is experienced in several aspects of Source engine modification. In fact I am helping out with one of his projects this very minute.
Once I have a good grasp on the ins and outs of this new engine I will start work on Orsa Terminus, a mod set in the not too distant future. I already have some models and materials together from third parties (all with permission obviously) and hope to have a page up for it with the first quarter of 2009.
YET ANOTHER UPDATE!?

Hey, all those who still visit!
Please forgive the recent lack of activity on the site and forums. We are still slowly plodding on with OiFH and another new project which is staying under wraps for a while. Also, I am trying to perfect the look of the site. You may have noticed a slight alteration to the layout as well as a general clean up of the team page. This is mostly due to the fact that several team member have not submitted a decent biography for me to put by their name so for now those members are listed at the bottom of the Team Page.
I apologize again for the neglect of this site but with any luck it will have a lot more content soon.

Merry April Fools
I'm sure you have all fallen victim to a load of pranks earlier today but don't worry. This is a prank free zone.
First up I would like to announce that OiFH development is well underway again. Thanks to ZombieLoffe for providing a link to a new set of fantastic textures by Blazeer the maps are getting a makeover. The boring and frankly outdated Half-Life textures, while still in use, are being toned down in place of fresher, more detailed artwork. This combined with some texture work from our own team mambers means that OiFH should certainly be much more interesting to look at as well as play.
Also, Tosse is working on a series of new MP3 files for the games soundtrack. Its full steam ahead. More info and media soon.
For now, just listen to the music and dream.
EXPRESS YOURSELF!

Not much prgress with the mod so far other than a new weapon which we're keeping under wraps.
Our community is still pretty small and although the program is 10 years old I recently discovered MSChat which still has a ton of users and no real Microsoft moderation any more. This means we can advertise. Sort of.
Its a very early version of IRC in a sense but it takes the form of either a chat window (exactly like Mirc or Oirc) or a comic strip which is very entertaining. After choosing a character you can choose expressions while you speak and can direct your speech to certain people in the room. It shouldn't be entertaining but it is. Until we get a proper server up and running it will only be available while I am online but its still good fun.
Anywho, you can download it HERE. Then all you need to do is choose a character in the 'options' window and connect to the DALNet server. (all the others such as the Microsoft servers are down) and join the room #dpgames.co.uk should it be available.
This will be the kind of thing that will be better when we get more members ;)
Right...back to work eh?
