Been itching to make more plugins recently and started working on a menu plugin that is mostly drop and play, handles game settings & Saves, skip cutscene with slots for things like level selection and credits.

HALO 2 officially launched 21 years ago today, November 9th, 2004.
I was so excited for HALO 2. I bought the soundtrack on CD and jammed out to "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin on my way to the midnight launch to pick up my copy.
Years of LAN parties with friends would follow. Great memories.

I am so glad to finally be working on new systems properly again in Alepha. I love the tank game but Alepha has my heart. Especially now its viable on controller with the aim assist

We've been working on something exciting at Durandal. Alepha is not going anywhere and is actually going faster with 'Tank Game' (really need a name for it). Its been so much fun. Arena shooter feel with some wipeout and mario party. Exciting to share the demo in the coming months.

I miss the old days of HALO so much lately, y'all.
It's hard to convey just how special that time between HALO 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach was.
I miss couch co-op, Forge craziness, laughing together, playing slayer with friends... but it's all bittersweet now.
Do you have any fond HALO memories?
