Can't stop playing this game which I made a video on it. I love it so much^^ Also, I cannot wait to see what Tsugi Blast is done so I can make video about it. :D

Some areas do get a little too laggy with how much NPCs get spawned at the same time. If this ever gets a remaster, this should be one of the areas to improve upon because as fun as it is to slaughter through massive hordes of Combine like a Serious Sam clone, the amount of NPCs on screen at once, especially in that final stretch towards the hover tank, can cause frame rates to drop and boy do they drop HARD.

A really good point of this map, compared to the finale, is the encouragement to take multiple routes. Yeah, they all ultimately head to the same end goal, but the different routes reward players with extra weapons and ammo. ANyone playing this with an ammo limiter should turn it off because you are gonna need those 1000+ Rockets and Combine Balls down the line.

Overall, it's a rough but fun map. Fun for solo play even if the map was intended for co-op.

I played around with the finale first before realizing I had to play this part first. One facepalm and a couple crashes (my PC ain't the best but it manages) later, I played through the main part (this one, obviously) solo and had a fun good time, especially with some cheaty-ish weapons such as an ArcCW M79 that launches mini-nukes.

Not gonna lie, that final boss with the hover tank was rough, especially since I had to go underneath the damn thing and fire a Combine Ball into each thruster.

No problem mon^^
Also, thx for the info and hints too

Overall though, I am just happy to hear you really liked it. Thank you so much again for playing it!

This map has been around for a long time, so I will let you in on a little secret. On the first map, during the last big fight before the second boss, there is an alley that has a fire escape. If you can get up to it, you might find something up there if you look around and shoot enough! Also, there are three secrets up there, try to find them!

You might be surprised by the biggest secret of all, which is hidden in a little metal box, which you'll need to find the button to open it up. It's near another secret that's up there.

Take care and have a good day!

@JetBlueChestC Thank you very much for playing and for the compliments! I just checked out your live stream of the play through, it was cool and I am happy to hear you enjoyed playing the map! It was also really interesting to see it being played with weapons that I never imagined would be used in it lol

I definitely should update a few things though, like the one song that cut out. I am not sure if that was an add on bug or if that song didn't have loop on, since that part actually has three different songs that play depending on what path you go down if I remember correctly.

It was interesting to see the bosses being fought without the recommended weapon, which is the Combine Pulse Rifle, specifically the handy alt fire mode. The part when your brother spawned in the sports cars had me laughing so much lol

This campaign map, one of my top 1 favourites. Usually Unknown World is my past favourite, but this is totally my favourite one. Around an hour or more of gameplay which it's perfect for me. I always wanted one map that is long like this instead of having different maps for different parts. Love it^^
I just livestreamed it today, if you are unable to complete it or if you are stuck, you can watch it in my channel in this link: https://youtu.be/nggZGXk3Pjg

we need walkthrough video i got confused

cont.

But due to my aforementioned lack of drive or passion, having little knowledge of actually coding and programming from the ground up on Source (let alone net coding for co op), along with other reasons, I just don't have any interest in doing such projects. I was originally planning on making a Half Life Alyx single player version of my Zombie Master maps, but that's kind of on hold since my lack of interest in creating anything lately has dulled me.

But I digress. Thank you again for playing this old map I made long ago now, its hard to believe how fast the years went! Take care and have a good night!

@PUG-alo Thank you for playing and posting your feedback!

I do agree that the map is definitely unfriendly for solo play, it's part of the reason I put the disclaimer in workshop description that it's best played with friends or strangers on your first time. It is definitely beatable alone, but it will require a lot of taking cover in the few areas that are there and attacking in bursts by having the sprint on at almost all times and strafing.

As much as I would like to do a source mod of this and the prequel maps I made in Zombie Master, a fantastic source mod, I don't really have the drive or interest to create it on my own. Most importantly however, this map and the ZM maps are driven by camaraderie and I'd more then anything would prefer having a functional co op option in place first and foremost.

This map is solo-hostile, if that's the right term. It is mostly due to street sweeping part design, which is, well, not spectacular - big crowds of enemies and little means for cover. But I appreciate the effort a lot, and think that with enough time given, a sourcemod remake, separated into more levels, may actually be a blast

Thank you very much for playing and for the comment! I am very happy to hear you enjoyed that part of the map with your friend.

I played this map with a friend, and the bit with Genesong playing while we were flying around blowing everything up with grenade launchers and bazookas was one of the best moments I've had playing Gmod.

No problem mate

Ah alright, thank you for the update! I greatly appreciate it

I did the map in mutiplater and the npcs acted normal so it might of been a trigger I missed or something or a coflicting addon

Thank you for the compliments, Andy! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I am uncertain why the NPC's were acting strange for you, I may have to finally update the map, but an addon may have also conflicted with them. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I'll reinstall Garry's mod and see if I am having any similar problems.

Take care, have a good day and stay safe!

I know I can sounded like I was mad but Im not. Im sure the reason why the ai doesnt attack me vary offten is because you made this for a coop map. Thanks for making this

I actual think the map is reall cool with the voice acting and the story kept me going

Ok I found out some of the npcs still shoot at me but then they stop and just look at me

Is there something in the map that pervents the ai from attacking me or something. I know this map is 5 years old at this point so Im guess sensh gmod has been updated that might of broke the map

IT seems like the ai cant attack me for some reason. all they do it throw gernads or use there second fire option if they can. im gona spawn a normal npc and see what happens

You'll have to wait for the flames to turn off before crawling under, but of course with all the armor you have, you can always try brute forcing it if you'd prefer. Just be ready for the reinforcements that show up with each engine you destroy!

There is are live flames under the engines how do I shoot the engines without being burned?

@FAMAStyr Coyote If you mean the engine covers for the second boss, I can give you a hint. You cannot destroy the covers, BUT the bottoms of them are not protected. Use this to your advantage when fighting them, and if you can, I highly recommend the alt fire for the Pulse Rifle!

How do I destroy the engine's covers?

@bryankam03 The engines where the fire is coming out of is the key, they're very strong since the map is meant for co op, but if you're alone, try using the Pulse Rifle's alternate fire, its incredibly effective!

I don't know how to destroy that final enemy. I keep throwing grenades, spamming ammos also not working

Okay, thanks for letting me know!

When its done. I don't think it will be this year. I've been playing alot of World of Warcraft and Destiny 2, plus some other games like Mario Odyssee. That and I'll need to find a voice actress for a new character, but the good news is the map's design is pretty much thought out and planned, its just a matter of me putting it all together.

What time frame will you set it to?

@Holynoobs Thank you for the reminder on that! I changed it for a more accurate time frame.

"TSUGI BLAST, COMING EARLY 2017". It's already past early 2017, yet it never came out

sorry caps

THANK YOU :D

@philli Thank you! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it! I was working on another map, but it’s been put on hold for a long time, I’m hoping to finish it and release it in the near future.

i love this mod
its so fun and it never gets old.

will you make a part 3?

@SJthehero thank you

@luwolff66 Do you own Half Life 2 Episode 2? If you do not, then I'm sorry to say you will need to own it and add it on to Garry's Mod. The error models in question are enemies that only appear in Episode 2. If you do own it, install it on Steam and add it on to Garry's Mod.

You can add on supported Source games by clicking the controller icon on the bottom right corner of the main menu. Just click the controller icon, scroll the pop up box and check off Half Life 2: Episode 2; to be on the safe side, restart your game and give it another try, sorry for any inconvience! I hope you can get it resolved and enjoy the rest of Kako Blast!.

Sorry for the late response! Take care and have a good one.

I get error modles around teleport 3, are there any mods/ modles used that I dont know about?

Holy shit i took 1 hour to complete it in Singleplayer now lets i try with my friends

@SJthehero: Thanks.

@Engineer of Stuff For that boss fight, you need to shoot the open square in the middle of him. Becareful though! Enemies will spawn in as you do more damage. If you want a tip for doing a lot of damage, try out the alternate fire on the AR2 Pulse rifle!

What do I do with the giant head?

420/69 I should have payed money for it, its that good.

@ArmyLegoMan97 Very strange things that the human eye were not meant to see appears. Basically, certain things in the map won't work or look right, since they are part of HL2 Epi. 2. Just jump on installing it or getting a copy when you can!

What happens if I don't have Half Life 2:Episode 2 installed?

Please help: I'm not sure what to do at the part with the giant head. I have tried almost everything I can think of but i cant seem to figure out what to do. Also, am i not supposed to use the flashlight in the building? Thanks

10/10 would play again ;), great job on it SJ.

i dont know why there is no comments about this map but it was well designed and the boss battles are like a challage not only that but it has its own voices and custom music with it. other than that the only thing that is bad about is the lack of shadors but who cares about it right?

9/10
