So Lost Alpha is getting closer and closer to being finished!

Anybody else looking out for this mod? It really looks like the best mod to be unveiled for SOC!

Don't know what I'm talking about? Then read this:

Have you ever dreamt about playing the old, forgotten S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ?

We were amazed by GSC's work when they released the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. screenshots in 2002. The old design, and atmosphere was stunning and we couldn't believe in our eyes. Later in the end of 2005, beginning of 2006 something has changed. Maybe data loss? ... who knows. They redesigned almost all old levels. Some of the levels became smaller, simpler (still nice but some areas can't be compared with the old ones), and some levels were removed. After the release in 2007 we played the game a lot, and noticed that some areas are missing. We opened forums, and talked countless nights about it for almost a year. Nowdays we could say, we have a full vision about GSC's old levels, due to the collected materials, videos and forgotten screenshots. We decided to remake those stunning areas, maybe they wont be the same, but we will try everything to make them very similar and also we will add our own creative parts. However GSC released a build, called 1935, which contains many old maps. We will use them, but also adjust them for our liking, but we wont throw out our own remade levels. From now, you will see many old maps in many mods, but you shouldn't worry, our maps won't be simple copy-paste compiles. :)

However this addon is not just about levels and levels. We will try to remake the old somewhat, but not fully restricted alife, and return a lot of cutout features. If you are interested in, we have an interview with more details in the Features menu. All comments and suggestions are welcome! Please do not ask for release date, it is yet unknown.

Finally, we would like to thank to the old stalker team for this wonderful game. Without them, stalker wouldn't be a "dream-game". Big respect to: Glory, Karma, Lex, Prof, Rainbow, Frodo, Narrator, Dach, Koan, Mike, Jip, Jim, Yuriy, Terazoid, Tuz, Haron, Stohe, alexmx, chugai, Oles, Zmey, Iov, Sidorovich, CyLLlKA, dandy, Descruo, dima, LeSTAT, MadMax, Man0waR, Shyshkin and many many more :)


So how does that sound? They have a full FAQ available too!
They say it'll be released Q2 2010!

Woohoo!

Thought it's about time I updated this thread a bit.

I'd love to share some screenshots with you guys, however I do not wish to reveal too much. Also I'll have to ask Dez for permission first. I'm currently busy doing just that.

But I give you some options for now:

- Some in-game screenshots
OR
- More Info on the game itself
OR
- Text examples of what "could" happen while playing LA

Seeing as this forum has always been friendly and still small enough to be personal I want to give you guys some extra attention. Most of you guys are mature players and as such appreciate it more. So let me know by replying here!

I'll try and update as much as possible.
