Thank you for the kind words!!! sorry it has been so long, I'll get around to fixing this map soon after i finish the map im currently making (at the time of this comment)

2 years later and still peak

it was AI, but I think it got deleted

late to the party but i gotta question, was the voice for steve ai or kit bashed hl2 civvie lines

nuh uh

I... am Steve!!!

my dads name is steve./

Thx bro I appreciate the kind words, I really am sorry about the nodes, but no matter what I did, even if I fixed the nodes in one area, another area that was previously working would just stop working. The only other fix would be to completely change the level design

im glad this map is getting good reception, good work on the pretty scenery! i especially loved the swamp section with the willow trees, those were beautiful!!! the temple section was funnily enough fitting for me, as i played this map with an over-the-shoulder mod with a tomb raider player model LOL

only complaint i have really is the broken nodes but you have addressed that in the description already, the ending was sweet, 2 chairs overlooking the edge of the cliff with a glorious sun ray ...
took a lot of pretty screenshots of this map ahahaha

please do keep up the good work!.. looking forward to your later maps ^_^

Thank you!!!

It truly is a amazing "Hiking Trip".

thank u for the kind words, im happy u liked the ending! I am making another map (at the time of this comment) but I can try and add that if I come back and fix my older maps but I can't promise anything

its a amazing map! the ending really filled me with joy! also could you make the player respawn with all the weapons you had? its just i dont really enjoy getting all my stuff back when i die by spawning them.

this is one of the best maps ive ever played the voice lines were cool too! 10 out of 10

steve can't follow player and can't jump But I have idea other than bringin him with pshygun. just made him teleport when player reach checkpoint.

It's okay I spawned 7 more Steves and a Father Gregori and the map crashed lol

sorry, that would be an oversight on my part... ur just gonna have to restart the map sorry!!!
(I might come back and fix some of my older maps once im done with the map im currently working on at the time of this comment)

.. So, uh.. Steve got hit by the rocks at the beginning and died.. What do I do now? :(

Liked the map and look of it overall. Really enjoyed this

holy damn the frame drop is awful

im guessing its a fallen tree log prop that I had issues with, mounting hl2ep2 might fix it idk

There is a single error in the swampy part, ONE single error, but either way I liked this map.

This is a solid campaign, good work!

I can consider it!

banger indeed, we need more mikes with Steve

bruh it took forever, but i am happy you enjoyed my map!

just finished it now, love it! very creative and fun with the voiced lines! really playing it in awe wondering how patient you must've been making it

I like the idea of that, i'll definitely consider it after my next few maps

I'll say this, I'd love to hike with Steve in an Arizona themed map, something that resembles Camelback echo canyon and Flatiron trail, obviously make it more dangerous so it's Steve's "kinda hiking trail."

I only had an idea for what the beginning of a sequel would look like and not the full thing. The idea was that you and Steve would go to different regions with a distinct theme for each new map. For example a stormy swamp or a snowy biome. But considering how challenging it is (based on my abilities) to make a map like this, it isnt a priority for me. I have plans for another story map that is not related to this, but it will be sort of like optional open world quests in a sandbox map. Perhaps after that I can consider a sequel? sorry for yapping

are you planning on making another map like this, this is the best campaign map i played for gmod

this map is op! i like it

i get up to the part where i collect the first set of weapons on the car. he says his line. i pick up the weapons. no more audio after, plus i cant interact with any of the map. somebody know how to fix this?

But there is also a minus when he opened the door, he died)

This is the best thing that I played, the NPCs have a great speech, as for me, if the author tried and added the character's speech in his project, this is already becoming the best thing that can be found

I also liked the plot itself and how everything was set up at the very end, looking into the sunset, you really understand that it was worth it, the author created a masterpiece, please continue this story I really liked it

oops... i accidentially let steve die from falling rocks

nvm im pretty sure its because steve wasnt following me

good map but im too dense to figure out how to get past the door in the swamp

Continue this.

I love Steve

yeah

epic map me and bro completed it with steve and then i threw bro off a cliff when he sat down next to steve to take in the view

Mr.Author,could you make a separate map of the last scene on the mountain top?I like it.

thx for your kind words, you have summarised the aim for this map perfectly. I wanted to create a map with a feeling of adventure and with an old gmod map look to it.

Woaw! This is an amazing map. The way you made the npc TTS voice is incredibly cool, I love the modern approach. The map is made very well and high quality, although it is stylized, it is very atmospheric and detailed. The npc react to the environment, it adds a lot of liveliness to the world. The gameplay is quite simple, but some of the mechanics are unusual and surprising. The map creates a sense of adventure rather than common monotonous shooting ranges with buttons. Its remins me a coop maps from Synergy/Obsidian Conflict mods in the 2010-2013s. Thank you so much!

They call him the 'hi KING'

This is good map BUT.....Steve sometimes gets stuck in one place and low FPS.....Overall, it's great, thank you

small update
- fixed steve at camps, buttons have been replaced by triggers and should 100% work.
- minor environmental additions/changes

I don't think I will ever be able to fix steve's jumping AI, sorry about that...

This is the last update, I need a break from this and I just want to move on to other maps.

Really cool map! the only problem is optimization :(
