I'm sure the words 'Tau Cannon' are underlined on the development whiteboard. It’s a gif you can hear, and it bodes well for the rest of the Half-Life armoury. It was this demonstration of the Gluon Gun that caught my attention in the first place. He showed off zombie companions in one Patreon update. I think he’s managing to capture the feeling of the OG GoldSrc game well enough, and it’ll be interesting to see if the top-down perspective can take Half-Life into places it’s never been before.
