“We currently have the first ~85% of our single player campaign completed. We also support Steam Workshop, and will be watching and encouraging developments there.”
Community feedback will be sorted into groups and taken into account as we develop. Many team members regularly browse these areas to discuss ideas with the community, and to show progress on game development. The Black Mesa game hub and forums will be the primary points of interaction with our users. We started out as a modding team aiming to do true justice to a Half-Life: Source port, and we won’t forget our roots. “We intend to work closely with our community as we complete the final portions of Black Mesa. By using Early Access, we are allowed the resources to bring you the remaining chapters with the quality that you expect” We have a standard of quality that we have to achieve. Our ambitions go beyond the original Xen section found in Half-Life. We don't have an exact date yet on when it will happen so stay tuned! Article taken from .“We simply didn’t have the resources to create Xen as we would like it. Make sure you follow GamingOnLinux on Twitch to be notified whenever she's live.
BLACK MESA WIRELESS SERIES
Our livestreamer, Sin, has never played through the series before so perhaps now might be a good time for her to jump in.
BLACK MESA WIRELESS UPDATE
Sometime after release, they will be giving it a jokingly named free Definitive Edition update to polish up any rough spots and continued improvements to the Steam Workshop support.īlack Mesa is the ultimate way to relive the original Half-Life story, find it on Steam. They said "it will never be a perfect game" but the "1.0 release is the best, most polished, and most fun version of the game yet". There's supposed to be a new UI to replace the traditional Source Engine boxes but the Linux version currently doesn't have it.Īs they mentioned, this is not the end of the road.
BLACK MESA WIRELESS UPGRADE
Upgraded Earth artwork, big human AI improvements, the Vortigaunts got a juicy upgrade too making them more menacing, lots of optimizations and the list goes on. With it now released, the 1.0 update went live and had plenty of massive improvements over the previously released Betas. There's also online multiplayer, Steam Workshop support and all the usual modern additions on Steam like trading cards and achievements. The all-new soundtrack and voice acting create a more immersive experience than ever before.
Wield an arsenal of military hardware, scientific prototypes, and the iconic crowbar through incredibly detailed environments.Face off against an army of classic enemies, updated with new features and engaging AI.Mind-Blowing graphics and effects, never before seen on the Source Engine.Nineteen chapters of fighting through top-secret labs, running atop harsh desert landscapes, sneaking into abandoned railways, and leaping across dimensions.As a result, two teams began work on their own updated version which eventually merged into one team and one game with Black Mesa. Technically, this is at least the second remake of the original Half-Life, since Valve themselves gave it the Source treatment with Half-Life: Source in 2004 which wasn't what a lot of fans had hoped for when it released. That said-it has been fourteen years in the making! Crazy but a fair amount of that was simply done out of passion and not professionally like the actual job it became for the team at Crowbar Collective. Personally, I only completed Half-Life and Half-Life 2 when they came to Linux so to me Black Mesa hasn't really felt as long as it might to others. It's not just the big graphical enhancements or the updated AI, it's the sum of all the little things included that just make it so lovely. Not only that, there's vast improvements to the enemy AI in all parts of the game that make the gameplay worth it. Black Mesa as a whole is exactly what it set out to be and what I hoped it would be: a faithful update to an already good game but Crowbar managed to put in tons of improvements to pull in a fresh audience.Įven if you know Half-Life like the back of your hand, Black Mesa is still a crisp and different experience because some sections on Earth have been entirely re-done to flow better. It's prettier and most importantly-more exciting. It's a completely different experience to the original and to the rest of the game which is exactly what it's supposed to be. The original Xen was a pretty controversial part of Half-Life too, a pain point for many but in Black Mesa it's just awesome.
