The time has come! Halfquake Sunrise is complete.
You can download it here, along with the soundtrack. Thanks to Stixsmaster, Kiddikai, kowi and h4ndy for mirroring the files!
Make sure you help unlock new traps. If one is successfully unlocked, you get XP and a PHQ badge - and the trap is available for everybody to buy and craft.
This has been quite a ride, but it's finally finished. Thanks to all of you who have shown me support throughout all these years. I sincerely hope you're going to enjoy Halfquake Sunrise.
Also, apologies to Kowi, Hagbard_Celine, Michael, Terro, Pinkerator and Chen, who have submitted sounds/music for HQS that I wasn't able to fit into the game.
And now: Have a nice death! |

Awesomeness! Had I known this would be the release day, I would have taken rest of the week off!
Anyways, I'll be sure to enjoy dying and dying and ... oh yes, playing with my bones for a bit
It's been quite hard waiting for the game, but .. as i've said before, this has been the best game of patience i've ever played, so thanks for that too! |

AARGH! I barely can type. I'm all dizzy, got headache, eyes fogged... But I'm so damn happy!  I've just been dying for 7hrs without eating and drinking irl, constantly watching display.
Just one complain: wtf with the last part? I couldn't die properly! Just black screen and that's it? x(
P.S.: while been fooling around at the last fight vs Somos (i've forgot about the LEEEFT EEEEEYEEE, just've been trying to hit the smiley, and gave up at first), found a bug: I could get trough the hole between the hammer and wall. Nothing interesting there, tbh.
P.P.S.: Liked HQ:A more for there've been more sadistic humour. Just IMO.

| Fucking hell finally! I have been waiting for years. HQA first messed with my live when I was 12. Seven years later I can die again! Let's go!! |

| I'm amazed by scripting, btw. It looks like the HL engine is 100% used. :applaud: |

Finished. It is another MASTERPIECE!
Honestly I wasn't expecting that much - I doubted MS and others could make something even better than HQA. How damn I was wrong, and I now has been punished for underestimating the HQ Team work I am completely happy and so freaking proud of you guys!
Found some bugs (mostly with elevators and other moving parts), won't tell it here not to spoil the gameplay. But the music, the worlds, non-linearity in some parts, new ideas and technical excellence - that's it, I'm blown by awesomeness and will replay it over and over !!! |

@Actine: yes, got stuck serveral times, too (you can even hear it by a loud fizzy sound). Best thing to avoid it: Save before or during the elevator ride and *jump* before it stops, worked fine
But to cite the readme: "If you get stuck, be happy and reload"  |

Epic. Played through in one sitting. Wasn't what I was expecting, but what I saw was better. The ending annoyed the hell out of me, but that's to it's credit  . Incredible map scripting, through and through.
One thing I will say though, is I didn't get an email when this was released. I'm pretty sure I signed up for the death list email thingy. What happen? |

| KILLZORZ, I've got the mail from the Death List(TM). Even two. xP |

The victim does die anyway - from hunger, dehydration etc. No one will find him. The fact is that you do not necessarily have to witness his death.
And that's another thing HQS is different about from other HQ's |
 | TheNameless

| yeah, the victim would die eventually, but we don't really see it, it is an open ending. Even though the very first thing in hqs was the promise, that the victim will perish "your death is the climax of this program" But, well.. it wasn't there |

| I start to think that the whole story is going back in time. What do you think? |
