So this is finally maybe it?! The final Resting Place! Things and notations aside, I, Cory “MrTwo“, Finally get a chance to really and in full detail, explain whats up with Gear, and everything else we do. To make it a little easier, here is a Q&A Moment!

Q: What is Gear?
A: Gear is a development team creating content for Valve’s Source engine.   The Team so far is comprised of 5. More or less, all of us are active.

Q: What does Gear do?
A: Our work spans a redonkculous length. So far we concentrate heavily on that of City17: Episode 1 our main project. However we also work on TF2, Portal, and Left 4 Dead.

Q: When did Gear Start, or originate in?
A: Gear was established in 2006,May the 20th. City17, however started about two months before that, its grown up with Gear, and at the same time  it’s been over many changes and revisions. Much like us.

Q: What is the Mod about, and also what is the other content about too?
A: You can check out this Link, for C17, and also check out our Downloads Section. On the TF2 and L4D side of things, you’ll have to wait for that.

Q: You, and a couple of other dudes have talked about affiliates? To whom?
A: Well I like to think of it as an imaginary Red wagon, getting fuller slowly, yet really these are people we just hang out with, work with, and even play with, and pwn. So here is a list of those awesome People.

1. The SteamPodcast: A Podcast hosted by two sexy guys, Bob, and Ramzy, as they say: “Our podcast is the most awesome hour of audio that will ever invade your ear-space.” And it is!
2. ThinkingWithPortals.Com: A large community of People who love Portal, heck who doesn’t! They have loads of tuts there, and of course user created content. FTW.
3. F7 Lans: Another large community dedicated to gaming on most of the Source engine games and mods, including authors of the Hunted remake for TF2.
4. Interlopers: A Super giant site well known to anyone that has a life. It focuses mainly On Steam, and mods under Source, so go there, NOA!

Q: What is Gear working on right now?
A: Currently City17 is our main focus, yet we may work on TF2 and L4D more in the future.

Q: When Will some of this be released, do you guys have specific release dates?
A: Sadly, we’ve failed in the making-it-on-time-to-release department. Due to that, we kind of refrain from having release dates, although we will keep you guys updated via posts and Twitter! However we’ll try not to false you guys out, we’ll only release some info if we’re more than 90% sure we’ll be able to do it, or your money back!

Q: Once all of this is out, what will I need to play it, and how will I install it?
A : Mainly what you need is Steam, but also, we’ll let you know what else you’ll need in order to play our games as they require specific content, for a basic run-down though, you’ll need:

• Orange Box SDK Base (which is free..) 
• Team Fortress 2, and Portal, and maybe , just maybe, Left 4 Dead. (Other Maps)

When we release something, we give installtion guides, but we plan to release installers, eventually…

Q: While looking in the Art Section, I noticed some weird stuff in a screenshot.
A: If you do see anything, let us know, but we’ll try to keep those screens updated, to make sure that we won’t get spammed with the same problems noticed over, and over, which make it easier for all of us really .
Q: You guys are Awesome! Is there any way I can help even if you guys aren’t Hiring?
A: While there isn’t a Whole Lot you  can do, any support like cookies or anything else is fine! General feedback and comments are the best of course! All we want though really is that you enjoy our games, and find the Easter eggs!
