Black Mesa Summer Sale 2020
We have pushed a build to public beta to test the changes we have made so far for the next update. We have fixed or improved a TON of things in the game, but here is a quick overview: -New art throughout earthbound to get the natural environment art more on par with Xen
-Full clipping pass to the entirety of the game to prevent getting caught on random environmental obstacles and to allow more smooth navigation -Fixed weapons not playing animations correctly in multiplayer (pistol, shotgun, tau) -Improved combat encounters (including fixes to HECU shooting through walls and getting stuck) -Various improvements to environmental storytelling and scripted sequences -Lots of fixes to small visual bugs like floating props, missing faces, and holes in map
The game should feel much smoother and more polished. How to opt into the public beta
Friday, June 26th at 6PM the Black Mesa project lead, Adam Engels, will be running through the game and attempting to get the The Rarest Specimen achievement. Well be giving away keys to multiple games, including Black Mesa, during the playthrough. Check out Crowbar Collectives Twitch channel for the scheduled stream times!
The team will be doing a community play session on Thursday, July 2nd at 3PM EST! The goal is to play the game and have fun, but well be tracking any bugs or issues along the way (Note: Our gameplay tests have been super smooth, but some UI issues have not been fixed yet like character select, and the MP disconnect bug).
Weve hosted the Black Mesa game box file so that anyone can download it and print one for themselves. Its a large print size, but we are interested in seeing mini versions of the big box :P We've also host the files for the 3D print of the HEV suit.
