"Xash" is 19 years old now.
Freely translated post from Uncle Mike:
"19 years ago, on December 13-th of 2004 on half-life.ru forum a new post called "New project" with a subtitle "unnamed yet" has been published. It was from this post that everything that I described in detail here was subsequently born: https://hlfx.ru/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5272 (in Russian).
At first, it was a Half-Life mod, like the Spirit. Then it was the engine incompatible with Half-Life, which fell into oblivion, then gradually turned into Half-Life compatible engine, and now finally separated into its own ecosystem retaining only some familiar features. Before your eyes, something that was planned back in 2007, but due to the grand and scale is being implemented just now, is finally being born.
I don't promise that a fully stable version will be released by the round date. But all missing elements of the development environment like the editor, viewer and some compilers should be already made."
