Beta Testing is Complete
Okay, so the September release didn't work out, but we've kept plugging away and now we're getting close. Final versions of many of the maps are already in, and the rest should be submitted very soon. With any luck we hope to have a release before New Years.

Happy Holidays!

New Digs
We finally set up a new permanent (more or less) home for the new Reissues Website that SEThorian put together for us. Now it almost looks like we know what we're doing.

Beta testing is underway; we already have half a dozen highly skilled volunteers doing their level best to find all the bugs and other problems in Reissues before we unleash it on the public. Not that there ARE any bugs or other problems - those beta testers aren't going to find a thing, no sir! Not so much as a spelling error.

Right guys? . . . uh guys?

So at this point it looks like we might just meet that September release target date. Possibly.

Well, we can hope anyway.

Update Extravaganza!
As you can see, the Reissues website has received a bit of a polish. (And by 'a bit' we actually mean a total redesign.) Asides a renewed website there's also a new load of media to be found on the media page. (And when we say 'a load', we truly mean it!) However, it doesn't end there! With all these new goodies we can't really let you go without a release date, now can we? As can be read in the new frequently asked questions (FAQ) section, we're currently aiming for a September 2007 release. This should - ideally - put our release right before Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal.

With all these updates and a release date so near, it's obvious that Reissues is almost done. In order to finish the mod however, we still need to properly beta test it. For this, we need (and we're sure you didn't see this coming); beta testers! So, if you'd like to help test Reissues out then let it be known at the new Reissues Beta Test forum. Before applying, however, make sure to read this stickied thread that specifies what you need to do and what qualities you need to possess in order to become a member of the testing team.

Having said that, feel free to drop by on our forums to let us know what you think of this update!

Early December Media Update
Reissues is still going. Not very fast, but it is still going. Hopefully over the holidays the team will find time to finish up those maps and get them in. In the meantime, we do have a few updated screenshots on the Media page.

Approximate Mapcount Known!
We've managed to collect most of the beta map submissions, and soon will be ready to begin serious beta testing. It looks like Reissues should have 20 to 25 maps altogether.

// Issues 2 == Reissues
You may notice that we've changed our name; Issues 2 has become Reissues. We're off to a great start with 18 mappers signed up and 1 or 2 texture artists. Urbanebula has provided a couple of screenshots from his work, so our media page now has something good to look at.

Screenshots: Spirit of Half-Life Demonstrated
I've added a few screenshots to make the website a bit more interesting. At this point they're mostly taken from Spirit of Half-Life demo maps, but they do give an idea of some of the things we can do with Spirit.
