Hi all!
As most, if not all, of you already know, Monday marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Half-Life. Here at A Place in the West, were spending the weekend celebrating. As such, all of our content is on sale for the weekend, and up until Tuesday.
We also will be Streaming a play-though of Half-Life on Sunday at 2pm GMT for anyone who wants to watch. Ross will be playing, and Mike will be mocking him and talking with the chat. If you too would like to laugh at Ross being bad at games, and talk about Half-Life, the comic, or anything else, come hang out! The link is twitch.tv/halflifecomic. If you drop in, let us know what you think! Maybe well do Half-Life 2 and the episodes at some point in the future. Maybe even Ross and Mike playing Portal 2 Co-Op and yelling at each other.
On Monday well also be releasing a new update! This will include Interlude 5.5 - titled Containment, where we go back to Black Mesa to see some familiar faces. Also included in this update will be the Russian translation of Chapter 5, thanks to our friends Vsevolod Stepanov and Pavel Lapinsky.
Finally, we'll be releasing Volume 2 of our soundtrack, by the talented Chris Jolley. Chris has written 9 new songs based on the events from Chapters 3, 4, and 5. The latest update will also include a few other songs that Chris has written for us over the years so you can get a taste of his style if you haven't heard his music yet.

What is A Place in the West?
Half-Life: A Place in the West is a fan-made comic book set within Valve's acclaimed Half-Life universe. A Place in the West follows three characters who are each in their own way drawn to a strange American city called New Franklin. Once inside, they discover a powerful secret, but the city holds many dangers, deceptive temptations, and a society on the brink of madness...A Place in the West offers a compelling story and a complex and intriguing cast of all-new characters, drawing on the rich mythology of the Half-Life universe in an entirely new medium for the series. There will be six issues in total. The first issue, Following Portents, was originally released online for free in 2015. We ran a Greenlight Campaign to bring it to Steam to share with you all.
Do I need to be familiar with Half-Life?
Nope! As part of bringing this comic book to Steam, we are adding a 3-page prologue that will make it accessible to everyone. A Place in the West is also set in the interim between Half-Life and Half-Life 2, which means that you needn't be familiar with Valve's later games anyway. That isn't to say, however, that you won't find exciting things to enjoy if you are familiar with the series.Features
A Place in the West's first issue will be made available for free using our specially designed app, and will include 5 entirely new pages.Additional features include:
- Immediate language support for English and Russian, with further plans to include more translations in the future.
- A fully-animated menu screen, complete with audio, in the vein of Half-Life.

- A "Behind the Scenes" video featuring a commentary track by the writers, which will include excerpts from the script, various pieces of concept art, ideas that never made it to the page, and scrapped pages.
