In this map you play as Gordon Freeman and you are on a tram going to work every morning. (and one that is in the making right now) the map features only 3 main chapters of the game for now. Black Mesa Is a map recreation of the famous remake of Half-Life, Black Mesa. For more on the development of the game, read our interview with Black Mesa's project leader.
In development in various forms since 2004, Black Mesa was one of the first titles to pass the Steam Greenlight process last year. "The work to port to the new engine was not because of the decision to go retail, this was work that had to be done to get Black Mesa onto Steam and support our future plans," the team says. We will be paying careful attention to feedback, and you'll have a very real say in how the final game turns out."īlack Mesa's developer says it continues to work on the Xen portion of the game and that the past year has been spent bringing the title to a newer version of the Source engine. "However, the Steam version will include features that the free version simply can not have. "Purchasing the Steam version of Black Mesa is more about supporting the team and our efforts than anything else," the team says. In addition to the retail version that will launch "soon" for a "relatively low price," the Black Mesa developers say they'll release a completely new free version of the game and plans to open source maps and certain assets to the modding community. "F rankly, our team could really use the financial help," the post reads. The team says it plans to sell Black Mesa in an effort to "make the game even better by having full access to the Source engine" and for financial reasons. We believe this philosophy has significantly contributed to the overall quality and feel of the game."
For us, Black Mesa is purely a labor of love. "Our team is made up of average, hardworking people, and no one joined the team to make money. "We never developed Black Mesa with money in mind," the team wrote in an update. And they'll be doing so using a newer version of Valve's Source engine. The team behind the long-in-development Black Mesa, a "re-envisioning" of Valve's original Half-Life, will bring its game to Steam as a commercial product, the developer announced today.
