While we beg, plead, and yell at Valve to release another Half-Life game, the folks behind Black Mesa, the unofficial remake of the original Half-Life, have announced that the first build of the game will be releasing very soon.
You’ll be able to download Black Mesa when it releases on September 14. Unfortuantely, the game is not completely finished; this release will only take you up to the Lambda Core. In the meantime, the developers are working hard on finishing the Xen levels.
The studio responsible for refining Half-Life with an unofficial, Valve-approved reimagining has teased an upcoming project that needs beta testers.
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.
So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
meh
Well at least there is something of it to play now, but everyone's interest in this has faded. It was supposed to release back in 2009 I think xD. Better late than never :3
Wooooo!!!! I have been following this mod for years! I can't wait to go through Hl1 again!
It's cool that they've got the majority of the game done, but I sorta just want the whole thing. If I can wait eight years, I can wait however long it takes to finish the rest of it at this point.
Holy shit Black mesa Source is coming out.. Fuck That's awesome
