    Radiator

    Wierd, interesting mod. The second chapter will probably make you feel uncomfortable.

    Mod website is here. There are some interesting things in his links section - I'd recommend checking that out too.

    Re: Radiator

    Looks pretty cool, but for some reason I can't get it to show up in my games list? I have HL2, CS:S, Garry's Mod, Team Fortress 2, and all 3 source SDKs, yet I still can't get it to show? I've done some searching and I found that some games won't start if they don't have a gameinfo.txt, but this one does. Any else have/had this problem?

    I thought it was a little bit of sad uncomfortable along with the subject matter involved.
    It wasn't really the gay relationship part, just the whole situation. I've had moments where I've kind of suppressed bad memories like that and it just kind of struck a nerve because it relates to me a little bit, which I haven't really seen much in a mod.

    I thought it was sad that you either have a choice of saving the relationship or dealing with the personal problem - the character either lies to himself and suppresses his trauma to save the relationship or the relationship falls apart. None of these are really "good" endings for the player. Polaris is similar.

    Make sure that the installer is putting the mod in the correct directory - it has to be in SourceMods. Also, if you haven't already, you'll need to restart Steam. Other than that, I'm not sure why it would do that if it has all the files. Maybe try installing the first part and then installing the second one over it?

    I observed this as well. None of the resolutions in the first or second part are totally upbeat or totally sorrowful. I guess it could be said that it's more honest that way, it speaks louder. The player can stop repressing the horrible memories, let his words speak nothing but the harsh truth and be at peace, but at the cost of a long relationship and possibly a friendship too. Or he can repress it all, shut everything inwards and stay tortured, possibly giving the relationship a chance to work and heal the old wounds.


    Very well done, modmaker. These little creations of yours are really good at provoking deep and earnest thought. Can't say that about many games nowadays

    Re: Radiator

    At risk of wasting my net cap, I might try this out. It sounds interesting, but considering some of the members here thought a certain recently-released mod was the greatest thing since sliced bread I don't exactly trust Modacity's judgement...
