After 12 years of development, the sole developer of the mod has decided it makes sense to release it as a proper game (for a fair price) and be compensated for the work they put into it.
The game is completely ready, they are just waiting for the negotiations with Valve to end, so hopefully it will be released soon.
I'll start by saying: thanks for the very long time support to everyone, especially to those who have been around since basically 2011. It took a while but I hope when it comes out it will be obvious why. The intention now is to go retail and release on Steam.
I want to put out G String properly and find it a good place in the world before I move on, throwing it out for free seems foolish and self destructive at this point. I definitely don't want it to be behind a tall pay wall as this never was and still really isn't about money. If I wanted to focus solely on money I would have abandoned this project long ago. But I do believe it has potential and it will benefit everyone if it's released as game.
I will continue to polish the maps and assets until Steam becomes a reality but I will not make any major game changing alterations. The changes will be mostly aesthetic, small tweaks. The game is essentially completed and could be released any day now.
Trailer:
The style looks good (ripping off Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell aside), but all the weapons, enemies, A.I that I can see in the trailer are HL2 reskinned
But, in any case, it's impressive work for 1, self-trained, girl that started to work on it as a teenager.

Wait. The more I read, the more it looks like she hasn't actually started the process with Valve yet. She just hopes she will tell Valve "I want to sell this on Steam" and they will come to an agreement?
There's a huge chance it's not going to work like that, there's a big license fee for Source (due to the Havok and RAD Game Tools components, Valve is ok with giving the rest of the engine for free and instead collecting a % of revenue the title generates), I thought she has started the process, aka she has the money for it and decided she will make it back.
Well, this might get released as a mod after all.

It's an HL2 total conversion. Same way that Counter-Strike was an HL1 mod, despite having nothing to do with HL1.

If you haven’t played G-String then you probably can’t imagine how large the mod is. It is the longest mod I have ever played and probably longer than many games.
After almost a full week of playing this game I have finally completed it. It is easily the longest mod I have ever played on either the HL2 engine or the HL1 engine so reader beware.
