Hello everyone, TE120 reached an amazing milestone today surpassing 1,000,000 downloads! When I originally set out to create TE120 I wanted to help satisfy the fans of Half-Life with what felt like a modern Half-Life game. I hope you felt that, but reaching this milestone definitely helps me to feel validated in that goal and it really does make me feel it was worth all the effort. And for you all (and me) I hope we really do get that modern Half-Life game we've been dreaming of someday. Cheers everyone!

We've decided to release the source code for TE120! Those interested in adding the special gravity gun to their mod are welcome to do so, but please just credit the TE120 team. We also have a version of the source shader editor converted to Linux which, I believe, has not been ported to for any other mod. That was a mountain of work completed by Vincent who deserves special recognition & credit for his help. There's a few other enhancements as well including: [olist]

Hello everyone, Im the creator of Transmissions: Element 120 here to announce the free Steam version available now. I want to apologize for the long delay. I had several major life events come up between now and the mod release, the biggest of which was a move across the country to accept a new job. I ending up joining a team with people who helped create many of my favorite games over the last 20 years such as Thief, Deus Ex, Command & Conquer, Half-Life, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Halo, and more. We are a team inside Amazon Game Studios. Im super excited to be a part of this team and AGS as a whole. We're cooking up some special games and I can wait until we can share more with you all. So... whats new with TE120? You can see the full list here. In short, I got some help and now theres new music, linux support, achievements, small story & puzzle updates, and lots of polish. The biggest thing is you can install the game now by simply clicking install on this page. After the mod version was released I had several people reach out to me offering to donate. Well currently one of my best friends is fighting a very rare form of cancer called sarcoma. Hes been fortunate with great insurance & support but its given me a new perspective for those suffering from cancer. Theres so many people out there without the resources or support they need to fight cancer so if you feel the desire to donate Id like to ask you all to donate here instead. All money donated there goes directly to the Carebox program. Its a unique group that works with cancer patients to identify their needs, help drive donations, then they directly deliver supplies to those patients. If together we can make a difference to help the life of just one person then Ill be completely happy with the time I spent on this project. Thanks everyone & hope you enjoy the game!

After the mod version was released I had several people reach out to offer help. As a result theres a whole new set of songs from a fantastic composer. I also had a programmer reach out and offer to help port TE120 to Linux. While that may sound simple it was a mountain of work and I couldnt have done it without his help. So what's new:

• Design updates throughout & to some puzzles based on feedback from the community & valve.
• New story tidbits.
• Ported to source 2013.
• Added achievements!
• Optimization (5-15 fps improvement in most scenes).
• Tons of polish & bug fixes!
