Finished PCV! Super proud
but... I still have to retopologize it... ugh

Hmmmm....

I have to remember how to do basic trigonometry again... this feels weird

4 day long weekend! I'm hoping to be able to get quite a bit done by then. I'm thinking finish player movement, HUD, some models, and have a good looking environment.

I'm really going to have to make a map editor soon...

Too tired to implement player and game physics rn. Trying to get as much of necessary modelling and concept art done as possible.

Mouse movement is harder than I thought. Implementing a first person camera took me all day...

I think the plan is to start making the simple free demo, make it really basic, and add newer features in stages and release each stage of the demo. For this first stage I'm hoping to implement basic walking, weapons, PCV, crawling, charging/healing, HUD and decals. Working on the basic map atm.

I think from now on, I'm going to make regular updates on what I'm working on, what I've achieved, and future goals. It'd be nice just to have a log of my progress.

So here goes, first update:

transparency fucking sucks

The Half-Life: Catalyst engine now looks semi-professional!

It's not much, but it's something!
As always, any contribution is welcome!
