As the time passes, it becomes harded to work on the mod as it used to be. We have our own lives to take care of, and sadly it's not so easy to work so actively on this. I hope you guys can understand! None the less though, to me, personally, Half-Life: Alyx was like a breath of fresh air, perhaps I'll work on Lambda Wars again once I have the proper hardware and time. Besides, we still have Mr…

A new promised patch has been released. The patch includes new map changes and a new map - hlw_uzvara by vadimhalo. To be frank, I had to help vadimhalo with the map a ton due to him being new to mapping as a whole. Though the reason I did it is because the map idea is very unique and involves limited ability of units and abilities. Enjoy the new map! Changelog: Maps: hlw_dump: - More optimizat…

It has always been known that the evil exists. That it exists somewhere around the corner. Once upon a time Lambda Wars used to be a dark place filled gray souls working on it. But there was the light. The light that brought future to the developers and players of Lambda Wars altogether. But this light may soon perish if we do not defeat the evil. This evil must be taken care of. Yes, my strate…
