Around the year 2000 - The Farm was created by muddasheep (that's me!) and a friend nicknamed kell.hound, based on the idea of coming up with maps and releasing them on a shared platform.
kell.hound was leading a project called "The Search" (a Half-Life single player mod) and I was working on various Counter-Strike maps (cs_therock, de_basin, cs_remember).
A few months after The Farm was born, kell.hound said goodbye. Here are other people that have joined and left The Farm throughout the years:
- Phoenix: Creator of hq2_phoenix for Halfquake Amen
- Swartz: Writer of several reviews
- Sven: Continued writing reviews after Swartz left
- Darrn: Creator of a canceled Halfquake add-on
- H4ndy: Creator of a standalone version of BombVictims and ChosenVictim (canceled)
- TheAwake: Creator of the Halfquake Amen add-on The Present
The Farm design changed on December 09th 2002.
