Beta 17
I'm working on a possible mini-mod with Beta 17 currently as a working title. It should feature the original journey from the trainstation to Kleiner's Lab, with some bonus maps (some of which are already available here). I don't really know if it'll be finished one day. If it is, it will be in quite a while. There are so many things to fix, and any little thing takes hours to be done. It did a lot so far, but there's still a lot to do. And I'm just learning Hammer by myself; I'm not a very good mapper. So whatever is released, it will be quite buggy, despite my numerous fixing attempts.
