Don't hope to give me hope
The newly discovered Engine updates are a particularly good sign for the HLX project after credible reports that the game had entered Valve in Valve by the end of 2024 in a Friends and Family Play testing phase. Although many valve projects have seen major changes after that kind of testing, McVicker says that these new engine updates are “confirmation that HLX has the holiday break, the shape of Rarte, and it doesn't seem to be.

A video from December from “Gabe Volger” that suggests that Half -life 3 a test phase of a friend and a family test had started.
Although McVicker does not go into detail in every engine variable that has suggested in the latest Valve game updates, he offers a summary version with informed speculation about what all those variables can mean for HLX. This includes signs of a “heavily evolved” physics engine of Half -life 2 This can apparently follow object characteristics such as buoyancy, flammability, distortion, as well as liquid simulation and dynamic noise properties based on the status of an object.
The most intriguing thing is that McVicker signs speaks that HLX can contain a new NPC “Mood System”, so that these AI-controlled characters can respond “orally and non-verbally” to what they can see, hear or even smell in the immediate vicinity. The code also refers to “Dynamically adjustable NAV-Mosen” with which NPCs can easily navigate around vtubunious environmental hazards, and on a system for in-game objects that can be placed semi-volunteerly during multiple playthroughs, a la, a la Left 4 deadThe director system.
We know it is easy to be skeptical after so many years of fruitless speculation about Half -life 3. But when McVicker says that signs suggest that an actual Half -life 3 The announcement could come this year, let's say we want to believe.
