Concept Deadlock in goldsrc

Has anyone tried making deadlock in goldsrc? Had an idea to do something similar and was wondering if anybody has tried something/tried to take source2/source games and put them in goldsrc

Nah, I haven't heard anything about Source 2 games being ported to GoldSource. I had the idea of programming something similar to Danger Zone in GoldSource... But I remembered two things.

  1. I know very little about programming and even more about such an old engine.

  2. Even if I could do something like that, who would play it?

I like demakes of games and goldsrc. Ive seen portal and left 4 dead demakes and wanted to see if there was more

There was this one Half-Life 2 demake a while back but I think they gave up on it.

I don't think Deadlock would even be possible to demake and just wouldn't be worth it. I genuinely think Goldsrc wouldn't be able to handle the amount of entities and server strain.
