We've decided to release the source code for TE120! Those interested in adding the special gravity gun to their mod are welcome to do so, but please just credit the TE120 team.

We also have a version of the source shader editor converted to Linux which, I believe, has not been ported to for any other mod. That was a mountain of work completed by Vincent who deserves special recognition & credit for his help.

There's a few other enhancements as well including:

1. Enhanced dynamic lighting (env_projectedtexture).
   
2. Integrated Source Shader Editor 0.5 for enhanced post processing & lighting.
   
3. Improved support for complex physics structures.
   
4. Support for super massive physics objects.
   
5. Strider patrol manager & combine formation support for Striders.

You can access the latest code on github located here:

Enjoy!

Hello everyone,
I’m the creator of Transmissions: Element 120 here to announce the free Steam version available now. I want to apologize for the long delay. I had several major life events come up between now and the mod release, the biggest of which was a move across the country to accept a new job.

I ending up joining a team with people who helped create many of my favorite games over the last 20 years such as Thief, Deus Ex, Command & Conquer, Half-Life, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Halo, and more. We are a team inside Amazon Game Studios. I’m super excited to be a part of this team and AGS as a whole. We're cooking up some special games and I can wait until we can share more with you all.

So... what’s new with TE120? You can see the full list here. In short, I got some help and now there’s new music, linux support, achievements, small story & puzzle updates, and lots of polish. The biggest thing is you can install the game now by simply clicking install on this page.

After the mod version was released I had several people reach out to me offering to donate. Well currently one of my best friends is fighting a very rare form of cancer called sarcoma. He’s been fortunate with great insurance & support but it’s given me a new perspective for those suffering from cancer. There’s so many people out there without the resources or support they need to fight cancer so if you feel the desire to donate I’d like to ask you all to donate here instead[www.youcaring.com].

All money donated there goes directly to the Carebox program[careboxprogram.org]. It’s a unique group that works with cancer patients to identify their needs, help drive donations, then they directly deliver supplies to those patients. If together we can make a difference to help the life of just one person then I’ll be completely happy with the time I spent on this project. Thanks everyone & hope you enjoy the game!

After the mod version was released I had several people reach out to offer help. As a result there’s a whole new set of songs from a fantastic composer. I also had a programmer reach out and offer to help port TE120 to Linux. While that may sound simple it was a mountain of work and I couldn’t have done it without his help.

So what's new:

• Design updates throughout & to some puzzles based on feedback from the community & valve.
  
• New story tidbits.
  
• Ported to source 2013.
  
• Added achievements!
  
• Optimization (5-15 fps improvement in most scenes).
  
• Tons of polish & bug fixes!

I hope you enjoy it and please post your reviews on the store page here when you're done.
