Bad news: despite our earlier promises to release DI Part 2 as 17 maps going from Kleiner's Lab escape to the Depot, the first release will only contain the first 12 maps. It's either this, or never living to see Part 2 release at all.
This also means that Haven and Beach maps from the Wasteland Demo (available on our Discord) won't be included in the first release. Why? Because there are three more maps between them that are not completed.
Good news: we have a release window. And the trailer.
The mod is out of alpha, and in the next few weeks it will enter the final closed beta test, where we'll find and fix bugs, make final adjustments to gameplay and item balance, finalize all the story scenes. How long it will last depends on how many problems we find and how fast we can fix them.
Additionally, Part 2 will include all maps from Part 1, but they won't receive drastic changes on release.

I await- and I am sure we all await Part 2 with great interest and excitement. I cannot wait to play, the content in the trailer looks great! Thanks to the dev team for putting together such an amazing mod so far.
Honestly? I don't care if we get less than promised, if the trailer actually shows what we will get... it will be something really awesome and I'm excited to see this masterpiece :D
Amazing! So... What is the bad news?
We gonna get custom asset support this time?
Custom asset support is inherent to the engine.
I mean I know that but Part 1 didn't seem to pick up the "custom" folder like every other mod does so it took changing certain models and sounds manually for them to work.
It just required adding the search path to it in gameinfo. Many mods are set up the same way if they didn't stem from something like Mapbase or copy gameinfo from HL2. It wasn't some counter-measure against custom content. With Part 2 I'll remember to keep it in mind and have it by default.
Nice. That makes sense now that I think about it. Part 2 looks fire right now but there are some models I'd like to try whenever this drops. Mainly just the citizens and Metrocops because your designs for the soldiers look great. Especially those Elite Snipers.
Nice ! following !
Шикарно!
IT'S HAPPENING! Part 2's coming out after all these years of waiting!
I dont believe to expect smth anything more amazingly, than art and progress by this persons.
(fake title - no bad news detected)
First 30 seconds were like "meh, is that it?",
and then : APC vs. APC battles, giant Synth, the Hydra.
This is really taking an interesting turn, DI part 1 was a dark and gloomy take on HL2 Beta,
but now this is quite different, and it takes quite a different vision than RtB : R.
When I read "bad news" I thought:"here we are, they gonna cancel the project"
You funny menn, you were just trying to get our attention, and it worked. 👍
Amazing
Looks soo good, cant wait to play this!
And take your time on development, rather that, than a half finished product.
Keep up the excellent work! :)
