Holy crap....I can't believe someone found this and did a video. I have a video of the map on my channel from years ago, because I made it. If you have any questions how I did any of it, let me know, cuz I did some wonky stuff to get it to look like that all those years ago, lol. OH, and that was the clan tag in the safe and the monitors had the clan website on it. The tag actually stands for 'Strangers to Death'. Thanks for finding this gem!
Great to see that you're back, Ben! Hope that you can keep resting and still be able to return to gamedev in this year. Happy 2023 for you! Watching Goldeneye being transplanted to other games is a hobby of mine as well - always cool to see how creative the adaptations are in different engine or gameplay mechanics. Lots of great ideas in the old Goldsrc and Source communities.
I'm sorry for being gone for so long. There was a loss in the family and I had some personal difficulties. I'm better now though :) There will be news about SPIES in the future though I'm not sure when
@@BenColc My condolences, Ben! I understand what it's like to lose someone we love, you don't have to apologize, be well and I hope you're better, take care, about your projects, see when you're well. Hugs!
I am also looking forward to SPIES. :D Still upset MGM stopped GE remake. Especially since we see now that last year they announced porting the old goldeneye 64 game to newer consoles like the switch but did nothing to improve on it at all. -_- Guessing they had to stop the great remake otherwise it would have made their announcement to half ass port the old game to switch etc. look like a joke (which it is!). Screw them, I wanted an updated goldeneye single player like goldeneye source. :(
I took a long break from game dev and did other stuff like play Age of Empires 2. I'm just coming back to GE and game dev. It's possible I'll return to SPIES eventually but I think I'll make something more simple first. GE:S sounds fun I'll play it again soon!
@iamfuturetrunks I couldn't agree more. I wish instead of the C&D they offered a contract to bring them on board and license GE 25. It was looking and sounding incredible!
@@BenColc Darn, was hoping to get SPIES this year (though I know game development can take a long time especially if just one or a few people are working on it :S). Understandable though, don't want to get burnt out on it. If only MGM or whoever owns the rights to James Bond didn't send out that Cease and Desist cause we could have had Goldeneye 25 already maybe. :( Also curious what you thought of 007 Nightfire for gamecube? Did you ever play it and if so what did you think about it? Especially the multiplayer which actually had bots, and odd jobs hat as a weapon. :P
Ben, good night! I saw your work on Graslu00's channel with the first sample of Facility by GoldenEye 25, I really liked it. I saw that you are working on Final Transmission, but I would like to know if you have plans to return to the development of S.P.I.E.S, as I was following it and really enjoying the results. A hug!
Hello! I wish I could say yes but the truth is I'm pretty burned out on first person shooters and I don't know when my desire to make one will return. If it does I won't be making SPIES, though I'm sure elements of SPIES would be incorporated into the new game.
@@BenColcI understand, there are times when we become exhausted with something or, simply, we are no longer attracted to it. I wish you good luck with your next projects, Ben!
Good to see you again, Ben! happy 2023! I enjoyed seeing what GoldenEye maps look like in other engines. Do you intend to return with the development of S.P.I.E.S?
@@paulosergio... I've decided it's permanently cancelled. Too many things went wrong. I can't keep up with modern graphics. My new game is Final Transmission. I post updates about it on my Twitter @bencolclough997
@@BenColc I understood! I hope it follows in the footsteps of GoldenEye 25 and SPIES, I'll always follow Ester, good luck Ben! From what I'm following you, you'll do a great job!
Happy to see you're alright! I'll be frank, I've been worried the past couple months, wondering if you were doing okay in life. I hope it's the case. Take care Luch!
Hi Felix! Last winter my sister died in a car accident. The last year has been a slow recovery. I'm finally feeling better though. I hope you are doing well!
@@BenColc 😔That's a real shame, I was really hoping to see you and Yannick find success together on a project, both of you are very talented. Sorry to hear about the tough year you have had to endure, I hope you find happiness and success in whatever you end up pursuing!

Thanks very much for your kind comment, João. It's cool we share this same hobby :D
Happy New Year to you too!
Happy 2023. Thanks for the vid!
Happy to see you are here, Ben! I thought it was strange that you didn't post anything about SPIES for all this time, are you ok?

I got a kinda unintended creepy vibe from the fact that this map probably was played and populated quite a bit but now its just empty.
I'm really happy to see you back, Ben. Happy new year and all.
This is very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Are you still working on SPIES? Or what keeps you busy these days? I'm still having a blast with GE Source :)
