The Evolution of Half-Life 1. How the beta looked, and how it evolved into Half-Life.

I've already asked a few days ago. The reply was:

It wasn't shippable.

[XGenesisX]

Sweet Idea I signed!

[TOMPCpl]

Nice finds here!

[Hybrid 4F]

Normally I'd say petitions do nothing, but we're talking about Valve. Anyway, good luck at getting signatures.

[MenteR]

Want Panthereye ragdoll?

[XGenesisX]

Did some one just say a panther eye rag doll?(Jitters in delight)

[DogGunn]

Odd, I just realised this:
All the images in the included section, have sharp shadows. The GoldSrc engine, and not even the Quake engine has this shadow system, as there was no system that could have sharp shadows like that.

My guess is a lot of the images shown were pre-rendered, rather than ingame shots.

[Hybrid 4F]

They're not pre-rendered nor real shadows. Shadows in Half-Life are flattered version of the original models.

[Turb0]

We need more signatures

[QUOTE=Hybrid 4F]flattered[/QUOTE]Making them pre-rendered in a sense.

[XGenesisX]

We can't let this thread die! Please keep the Petition going.

[XGenesisX]

[mattias]

[QUOTE=postal]Man, so much un-used dialouge was in the Half-Life pak file...

Half of that audio was Half-Life Uplink(HL demo) stuff.

[Splatzone]

Come on valve... listen to the fans!

We're the ones that buy your stuff, and it would hardly be a huge expense for you to release the beta as-is!

[Turrican]

Just a question how many signatures do we need for the pention

[Vipla]
