Hey folks,
Its time to ring in the end of the year. And what a year it has been. For us, it saw the completion of our plans to remake Chapters 1 and 2 of our comic, which we successfully released last week. It was an enormous relief, and were very excited to start making some real headway on our story, starting with Chapter 7: The Dark Between the Stars.
Progress on 7 is already underway and is slated for a Spring release. Its the halfway point in our story which sees the battle between Long, Rajani and Banks reach its dramatic and explosive conclusion. Heres a small taster of whats to come:
Following up from last week's release, we also have some things we're working on behind the scenes. The Soundtracks have been converted into being actual Soundtracks, and will be made available within the app again. We're also having a chat in the discussion boards about the image quality & compression, feel free to drop by there and weigh in if you have any thoughts on it! We'll be making tweaks there shortly.
Finally, we're also aware of an error that occurs when launching through Steam on Ubuntu (note that the app does work when launched from the folder, and that there are PDFs available). I'm going to be getting one of my machines set up with Ubuntu so I can properly diagnose & fix that.
In the meantime, the Steam Winter Sale has just started, and weve discounted every chapter including both volumes of the soundtrack. It's a better time than ever to get into the comic if you haven't before. And if you have, gift it to someone you like. Thank you for your support throughout the year, and well see you in 2021.
Mike and 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.
