Gunman Chronicles Gunman Chronicles is a standalone retail game created by the now-defunct Rewolf Software. Gunman Chronicles was orignally a Quake deathmatch mod titled Gunmanship 101, then was moved to Quake II's engine before becoming a Half-Life mod. At the Half-Life Mod Expo in 1999, Gunman Chronicles stole the show and Sierra approached Rewolf to make a standalone retail version. After significant work, Rewolf was given some office space, funding and a mapper (Jeff Lane) by Valve Software to help complete the project.

No patches were ever released for the game, though further development of multiplayer continued sometime after release.

Gunman Chronicles is not available on Steam, despite of the fact that Valve Software owns the publishing rights to it, and was shown that it's was originally planned to be released on Steam according to this photo from 2002, during GDC 2002. It was planned as a free game for owners of Half-Life. In 2012, a group called Petition: Bring Gunman Back was opened on Steam by the Team Lead of the Gunman: Reloaded mod project and multiple members of Valve fansite Lambda Generation. The group is attempting to persuade Valve to rerelease Gunman Chronicles on Steam.

Trivia

  • The company names Rewolf is a reversal of creator Herb Flower's surname.
  • The demo was created by Maverick Developments.
