Tribute to the Half Life Beta (ie: Space Bikers and freaky looking security guards)

Does anyone actually have the HL1 alpha/beta, or are all these screenshots merely from magazines and websites?

#82

Most likely real, just from an unreleased beta that valve made, I wish they kept Mr. Friendly.

#83

Of course, the whole losing/recovering your glasses would have been annoying.

#84

I’m interested in playing the HL Beta.
Can’t seem to find it anywhere though.

#85

I doubt it.

#86

:facepalm:

#87

Fixed :wink:

#88

:bulb:
:freeman:

Hurr hurr

#89

Hah, yeah I would have liked to play it too. It seemed cool =P

Thankfully VALVe kept a wealth of the cut content within the game files. That includes dozens of completed functioning monsters like Mister Friendly and the Kingpin as well as Ivan the Space Biker.

#92

Aren’t there mods that use those monsters?

#93

It’s Valve.

#94

#95

What are you talking about? How does a few unfinished NPC models and an unanimated player model make a “completed functioning” NPC? There is no code, no sounds, and next to no animations.

:hmph:

#97

They use both, so they’re both correct :expressionless:

#98

The logo’s letters are all capitalized. :expressionless:

#99

So, it’s a superscript e than.

Both Valve and VALVe are correct, but superscript is too time consuming on forums so we just write a small letter e.

VALV^E, amirite?

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
