Ooh, missed this game somehow. Looking pretty good, but please, whoever on the team is the most responsible for adding "humor" - tie him to a chair or something. Something that might work in French (does it really?) sounds just inane in English. This could pretty much ruin a perfectly good game.

I don't mind having status messages, but the English isn't very concise. IMHO it would be better if it just said "reflex save" or "level up" or "critical".

I have to agree. If you're going to have messages like that, you have to get as much info as possible into as few words and letters as possible.

*reads thread title
*notices "indie", "FPS", and "Deus Ex"
*becomes VERY interested
...
*reads that it will use Source engine and interest fades away
Why don't you Indie devs use the HPL engine? The first one is open source and I'm sure Frictional would let you use the HPL2 engine for a reasonable price. As a bonus, it has a lighting/shadowing system from this century. Every game from now on should have per-pixel lighting as standard.

We heard you and we fixed/modified the little sentences. They should be better now.
About the engine, we decided to use the Source Engine after we started our project on the first CryEngine. I wasn't part of the team yet then. But we decided to switch to Source since it was more flexible and easier to work on, and the license was also cheaper.
While probably not the best engine compared to Unreal or Crysis technology, we decided to stay on Source rather than rebuild everything from scratch using another engine. And with the improvements brought by the Orange Box games, Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2, the Source Engine is in its best shape. And another pro for Source is that it runs on a large amount of configurations.

Is all the stupid humour referencing marijuana smoking still present in the game? Honestly all that shit needs to go, it goes against the grim, serious tone generally associate with Cyberpunk.
