Happy Halloween, everyone!
First off, wed like to extend our sincere gratitude to our entire readership. We were a little (read: very) worried as to how the news of Chapters 1 & 2 being remade would be received and are genuinely taken aback as to how positively it was embraced. Honestly, we expected to be booed out of the room (admittedly, we still can be), so seeing readers not only accepting of the move but actively supporting it was incredibly heartening to witness. So thank you, from both ourselves and the real talent behind the scenes, our awesome art team.
Youve likely noticed the Halloween Sale is now live, and so, as is our custom, weve discounted every chapter as well as both soundtracks. If you havent checked out the latest releases, now is a great time to do so. As weve stated before and will continue to state until the day its delivered, if you purchase the now non-canonical Chapter 2 now or at any point prior to release, you will receive the remade copy for free on release day and retain the old one.
As for said remakes, they are progressing very well indeed. We dont have too much to show at present, but heres a little something from the first page Ellen, looking anxiously, no doubt, to see if any purple space jellyfish are hiding under her bed
Well keep updating our Twitter with progress on production and look forward to a proper update come Christmas.
Thanks for reading,
Michael & Ross

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.
- Support for multiple platforms, including Linux.
- 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.
- Taking the new pages into account, the first issue comes to a total of 38 pages.
