Hi all, I plan to release information on ANTICITIZEN ONE soon, but I wanted to put out a disclaimer regarding AI. Bitl Development Studio is committed to making projects without the use of any AI. AI only exists in its current state to harm creatives and programmers by aiming to replace them.

I decided to make the invite for the ANTICITIZEN ONE server available for those who are interested in the mod's development and playtesting. Info about the mod in the image. Invite: discord.gg/ek74DbAduq

WHAT IS ANTICITIZEN ONE?

Created by the creator of FIREFIGHT RELOADED, ANTICITIZEN ONE is an asymmetrical multiplayer mod for Half-Life 2 that aims to deliver a 6v1 experience between lowly Combine troops and the legendary Gordon Freeman. The Combine can use equipment relevant to their specific role, such as Manhacks, Turrets, Grenades and Energy Balls, to ensure a distinct advantage. In addition, they have the unique ability to aim down their sights, enabling greater accuracy. Gordon Freeman, however, has all of his iconic Half-Life 2 weapons, is fully armored and suited up, and has fully unlocked movement (with a hybrid movement system that is a blend of Orange Box and Source 2006 movement systems). This means a good Freeman player will take teamwork and cooperation to take down. Take the Freeman down, and your squad gains immediate victory. If you let Freeman take your troops out, however, he will secure victory.

Announcing ANTICITIZEN ONE! ANTICITIZEN ONE is a new Half-Life 2 mod project from the creator of FIREFIGHT RELOADED. It aims to deliver a 6v1 tactical multiplayer experience between 6 lowly members of the Combine Overwatch and a fully armored and armed Gordon Freeman. I plan on unveiling more soon

Here's an update on Quiver Fortress and the base that powers it: Source SDK BDS Base. In the past, I announced that Quiver Fortress was back in development after a couple weeks of the project being shelved. Although this was indeed the case, one of the biggest issues was the fork the mod is using.

Hi all, I recently posted about eventually using s&box or Godot for my next major project. Facepunch's recent statement on AI made me lose confidence in s&box. I will still keep an eye on it as it develops, but I won't use it for future projects (for now).

Bitl Development Studio @bds.bitl.dev · 28/04/2026

On top of the FR: REMNANTS announcement, I also wanted to announce my intention to move engines. After the release of FR: REMNANTS and other mods, there will be ongoing experiments with both s&box and Godot to decide which engine will be used for future projects.

Bitl Development Studio now uses NATO phonetic alphabet words as codenames for upcoming/in development projects. All projects that haven't seen a proper release yet (Quiver Fortress, SURVIVOR II, and Project Zecora) will use this new codename system. Image from Wikipedia.

Hi everyone, A while back, I announced that Quiver Fortress would be suspended, due to it lacking a proper identity as multiple ideas for the mod have been brought in. Quiver Fortress is a mod that will be TF2, rebalanced and retuned to be a faster experience. It is back. More details:

Bitl Development Studio @bds.bitl.dev · 21/02/2026

Hi all, I wanted to state that Quiver Fortress' development has been suspended indefinitely. The mod has had identity problems since its inception, with it trying to do multiple things (rebalancing, gameplay overhaul, new weapons, paying tribute to old TF games, etc). (1/4)

I've been planning for the last couple of months on ways to reduce the amount of equipment I use for music creation in order to encourage me to learn the gear I already have and introduce new pieces of gear I've been wanting to try, mainly polyphonic stuff. Hope you like chords.

Hi all, I have decided to put the "persecution of the unwilling" album project alongside any album project on pause as I plan for a studio refresh that is planned to happen early next year.

Bitl Development Studio @bds.bitl.dev · 09/12/2025

Due to this announcement, here are the plans moving forward: - There will be a FIREFIGHT RELOADED and Novetus update releasing sometime in Q1 of 2026. - Updates will slow down for the above projects and current ones already planned. I want to try and see if i can reduce the slowing however.

Announcing my next major project: ZIOCRONICA! A new FPS from the creator of FIREFIGHT RELOADED and Novetus. #ganedev #indie #ziocronica

$I am proud to announce ZIOCRONICA properly since I haven't announced it when I talked about the ZIOCRINICA project. ZIOCRONICA is the biggest project that I have planned out, with the planning stages alone taking up almost 10 years. It's only now that my fantasy can now be finally realized. ZIOCRONICA tells the story of the Traveller, an entity without past memories, waking up in a world between Heaven, Earth and Hell, ZIOCRONICA. The land is ruled by a tyrannical dictator and his seemingly unstoppable army. The Traveller must join a fractured Resistance, broken by ideological differences that must be united for one purpose: to bring the Dictator and his empire down for good.$ ZIOCRONICA is the biggest project that I have planned out, with the planning stages alone taking up almost 10 years. It's only now that my fantasy can now be finally realized.

Besides its campaign, there are also plans for a new horde mode that will be a spiritual successor to FIREFIGHT RELOADED.

More details will be released soon as development begins next year.

the album will have two parts. the first 4 tracks will focus on the origin of the border world, ziocronica, and its history up to that point. the rest of the album will focus on the resistance's fight for survival.

a world between three (mentioned on my dev account) has been renamed to persecution of the unwilling, the title of the planned second album that would come after a world between three. i did this so the final album feels more complete as a whole.

Bit of an update related to the ZIOCRONICA project: - Projects can be considered non canon. You can see if a project is non canon if it has Z0 as the prefix. Updated ids: Z0-C1 - FIREFIGHT RELOADED CODEX Z0-C2 - Novetus Tales of the Spheres Item Z1-A1 - a world between three

Hi all! Rather recently, I decided to make the ZIOCRONICA project a thing, which will be a series of various multimedia projects leading up to the release of a unannounced project. The first project in this is being developed as the "a world between three" album project.

Hi all, i have some news I'd like to share regarding Quiver fortress and a planned project. 🧵 QUIVER FORTRESS UPDATE Due to development problems and issues, Quiver Fortress will be shelved for the foreseeable future. Not cancelled, but shelved at least until I'm ready to go to the project again.

Small update thread: Unfortunately, there won't be a Quiver Fortress teaser this Halloween as previously stated as I realized I need more time to get the mod to a more finalized state. The vision for the mod changed halfway through development to be more of a tribute to TF as a whole rather than-

due to itch.io's delisting of adult content caused by various 3rd parties, I'll be setting my revenue split to 0% indefinitely. I am not angry at itch for the decision, but I'm more angry at the people who forced them to make the decision. This is done in protest against those people.

Just made a Bluesky account for those who use the platform. I don't like Bluesky, so there's a chance I won't use it, but I wish to expand BDS in some fashion, that includes putting my account on platforms I hate. Not making a main account on it though.
