It's been a while since we've released a proper update but that changes today! David 'Dman757' Meade brings you a quick look at some of the upcoming annoucments and going ons here at No More Room in Hell.
This video is the first in a new series of videos in which we hope to highlight what we're working on behind the scenes.
Happy Holidays from the No More Room in Hell development team! We would like to give you a little gift this Holiday season. 'What's this?' you might ask, shaking the box. The blood spattered wrapping paper falls to bits as you hungrily claw and tear your way through. Within you find six haunting and chilling, previously unreleased tracks from our OST that has been in the works for some time now.

We are up for two different competitions this year. Both on gamefront and moddb. We would love to have your support and vote this year. All it takes is a click.
Many of you have been wondering when our game will be available on Steam. We are working closely with Valve on making this a reality. We should be ready to launch on Steam with our next patch! We plan on making 1.07 our biggest patch yet. As development happens, we will throw up some videos on our YouTube channel.
Tired of Survival? Don't worry! nay0r, Lou Saffire, and thegregster are working on fresh objective maps. That doesn't mean we won't be giving you more Survival content though. Shirk is finalizing his map deemed Suburb Survival. In the next few weeks we will be showing you some screenshots and videos of those so keep a vigilant eye out.
As for the present, here is Beta 1.06 featuring two new weapons, a new blood tech, and saying goodbye to a lot of old Half-Life 2 content!
If you experience problems with the patch, try installing the full 1.06 client and see if that resolves any issues. If using the 'G' key for throwing weapons does not work, rebind the command in the console:

Ammo Checking & Voice Sets
We added the ability to customize your character with different voice sets as well as tailoring the way you want your ammo checking to be.
You may have noticed from the changelog that we updated a lot of our sound effects, replacing some that were vanilla Half-Life audio. Last month we introduced Tom 'rezOnance' Wright to the team. He has been helping revamp a lot of the foley and sound effects within the game, and made a blog post about creating some of these sick sounds! Check it out here. Tom also put together a little video of the new sounds added to 1.06. Listen to some heads pop!

It's October. The prime month for horror! We've been hammering on the 1.06 update applying changes from the great feedback you guys have given us. The team has added some new faces this September! Level designers Lou Saffire and thegregster101 (creators of two awesome community maps: Isolated and Hershel's Farm) have joined us. Tal and MrCJ are working with us as new prop modellers. In the sound department rezOnance is taking on the foley work. We finally filled some animator positions as well! FreddyFredFred and John are on board to help with character animations and more.
Community Map Pack 1 Our community is pretty awesome. Greenlight was a great indication of this. With overwhelming support we were one of the first 10 games to be Greenlit on the service. When will it be on Steam? It is going to take awhile. We are currently waiting on Valve to move things forward. We'd just like to thank you all for the support you gave us. Our future is brighter than ever!
We like to think that mods have a closer connection to the community than AAA developers and in most instances that is true. While we are hard at work updating the game, the community is hard at work making the maps they would like to play in NMRiH. With that said we are releasing a .zip full of maps made by the community.

You can find more custom maps and the latest versions on our forumhere. Made a map? Feel free to post it!
Biohazard Project Resident Evil fans rejoice! An incredible rendition of RE2 is being made in the form of the Biohazard Project produced by Morgoth and his team. The map project promises a complete "Racoon City Police Department experience" from Resident Evil 2. It will feature the puzzles of RE2 in true No More Room in Hell co-op fashion. Check out their progress at their ModDB page. They also released a trailer:
And it is all thanks to you! We could never have done this without the support of all of our fans who took the time to download the game and give us their thumbs-up on Greenlight.
So after years of turmoil, struggle and hard work, the team is proud to announce that thanks to the community’s generous support we have officially met the requirements of Valve’s Greenlight process. This news represents a turning point in NMRIH’s development cycle, as we will soon have the full support of Valve and its ever-growing community. Although this means major positive changes for the way NMRIH fans get the latest updates and support, NMRIH has always been, and will remain a free modification for Half-Life 2.
We won't be on Steam for a while yet, though. There are some legal and technical details that we need to address before the game will be available on Steam. We are working tirelessly to make this a reality as quickly as possible. It will be good for us, good for you, and good for the game.
Thank you all again so much, this is really like a dream come true and something I personally never expected would happen. But it did happen, and it happened because of you guys. We are all just happy that you like the game!

No More Room in Hell is on the lookout for talented Third-Person Animators. We have a dedicated team of developers who work on the mod in their free-time. This position is UNPAID. By working with us you will grow a healthy portfolio for future opportunities in the business as well as the unparallelled experience that comes with modding.

While in Texas for QuakeCon, we sat down with Game Front's Phil Hornshaw and Ross Lincoln for an interview about the history of the mod and its bright future! Check it out here. They also recently did a play though for their yourtube channel which you can find here.

Greenlight
We are on Steam Greenlight! If we receive enough upvotes the mod could appear officially on Steam. This extends our reach to a much larger audience, allows us to add more content per update, and get those updates out much more often. It also makes installation a breeze just like any other game you own on Steam. No More Room in Hell will still be 100% free. Everybody wins. Remember, Greenlight is not a competition so upvote other great titles while you are at it!

Hello folks! We would like to thank everyone for being patient with 1.05. The update is in content lockdown and is undergoing testing for a release very soon! Right now however, we are on Steam's newest and most ambitious feature: GREENLIGHT! What is Greenlight? It gives indie and mod developers a chance to get their games Steam support. What does this mean for No More Room in Hell?
Easy installation
Faster updates to the game
Reaching a much wider audience of players
All it takes is enough votes from the people who want all of the above! Don't worry, No More Room in Hell will always be 100% free.

We recently reached 1,000 likes on Facebook. As promised we filmed a few quick test runs on two new maps. The first one is nms_derelict by manofwar and the mall map is nms_northway by SotaPoika. A ton of new features are going into 1.05 as you can see in the video. We have audible ammo checking now along with a complete overhaul with the inventory system. New items and weapons are added and various small features that you'll discover when the patch is out. You will also find that the stamina system is much less forgiving in that you can't constantly shove zombies away anymore, your movement speed while moving backwards is drastically decreased, and you may need to stop a serious wound from bleeding. And so much more... Keep in mind that everything you see is a work in progress.
