Black Mesa Source V5 - "They're still working on Xen?" - Games

Bought it instantly it showed up. Today is such a great day because two best shooters came out today.

I've seen various comments on the steam discussions that say they're gonna release a free version separate from steam at a later date. I know the discussions should never be trusted, so is this true?

[QUOTE=WhyNott;47663962]can I get a refund based on that I bought the game thinking the price would go up?[/QUOTE] Have fun with Steam Support.

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;47663951]Hoping it has dynamic shadows then, and if not, hopefully someone makes a mod for that in the workshop.[/QUOTE] Some places have dynamic shadows, but not everywhere. Not even Portal 2 used them everywhere

[QUOTE=WhyNott;47663962]can I get a refund based on that I bought the game thinking the price would go up?[/QUOTE] If that is true, please accept our apologies. Silly mistake on our part.

Hope i'm not late that it's on the steam store for sale? [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/[/url] edit: i'm late, but here it is for this new page.

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;47663971]Also, to TextFAMGUY1, not trying to push you or anything, but when will you upload On a Rail & Surface Tension Uncut to the workshop?[/QUOTE] Yeah. I want to hold off replaying until I can play with those added back in.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;47663968]For what it is it's fine. A straight up, community made ground-up remake of a fairly large game. [I]Almost[/I] AAA aside from how shit the Source engine is by this point and I'm assuming a lack of professional equipment. I'm not exactly sure what percentage of it goes straight to the devs or how that works exactly but it'd probably help convince some people on the fence if they knew some of it would be invested back towards better software and equipment to get them through the rest of development. Probably pretty damn rude to be talking like that though considering what a milestone this is for them :v:[/QUOTE] I believe Valve gets 15% of everything on steam.

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;47663971]Also, to TextFAMGUY1, not trying to push you or anything, but when will you upload On a Rail & Surface Tension Uncut to the workshop?[/QUOTE] Within a week or two. There are some issues with the workshop backend that have been giving me troubles with uploading it; it's one of the the first things on our list to resolve next, to improve the workshop.

Question for all you lucky Early Access buyers: Is my [url=http://web.archive.org/web/20061212042049/http://www.blackmesasource.com/community_project2.html]community project entry[/url] in the mod yet? Been eagerly waiting for, oh, about eight and a half years now to finally see it in-game. I can't wait! [img]http://www.nextdimension.org/other/Thumbsup.gif[/img]

So if I buy it now (during early access) I will keep it permanently until the game is 100% done? (out of early access) (I don't know anything about early access, sorry baby)

[QUOTE=TextFAMGUY1;47663975]If that is true, please accept our apologies. Silly mistake on our part.[/QUOTE] I was going to say that it's not a big deal and I would have bought it anyway, but my lawyer says it wouldn't look good in court

[QUOTE=GoldAssassin;47663996]So if I buy it now (during early access) I will keep it permanently until the game is 100% done? (out of early access) (I don't know anything about early access, sorry baby)[/QUOTE] Yes.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;47664011]That'd be such a perfect fit to see that in Sector C somewhere. Oh but they need to make it readable. Most of the environment textures in BM are so freaking low-res and blurry.[/QUOTE] Hook it up to a projector.

What are the plans on releasing the source code? Is it still "maybe, at some point"?

[QUOTE=TextFAMGUY1;47663952]Incorrect information in that post on the Steam page. We have removed it. Apologies for the confusion.[/QUOTE] It still says that on the store page. edit: I see it has been changed "Yes. Black Mesa will be $19.99 USD during the Early Access phase.” shouldn't it say "No, the price during and after EA will stay $20" ? Just so people don't get confused.

Is the launch ad soldier's VA the new HECU voice?

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;47664047]I just noticed the free download has been taken down from the website. Guess I'm lucky I've redownloaded it just a few days ago.[/QUOTE] Seriously? Ok that's pretty shit.

This is great, you can use their face system to customize your MP character [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/541899370571867275/21344222AEB1A87CC05094281DE73E865045497F/[/t]

[QUOTE=IntenseBarney;47664058]Seriously? Ok that's pretty shit.[/QUOTE] As far as I can tell it's still on Mod DB and Desura.

I have it on a CD from a gaming magazine

they removed the $25 part from the store page, but now it just reads really awkwardly [quote=Steam Store Page][B]Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?[/B] [I]“Yes. Black Mesa will be $19.99 USD during the Early Access phase.”[/I][/quote]

The free version got removed on the website?

yes, but it's still up on moddb [QUOTE=TwoYearLurker;47664164]they removed the $25 part from the store page, but now it just reads really awkwardly[/QUOTE] yep, they need to change that to make it clear

Oh, did they keep the old HEV suit? [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/539647892448966580/9303755F2031D03F1BD17D9F71BFD7762A0632C0/[/t]

Does the store bought Black Mesa have Linux support?

[QUOTE=fancy990;47664206]Does the store bought Black Mesa have Linux support?[/QUOTE] Nope.

[QUOTE=Antimuffin;47664182]The free version got removed on the website?[/QUOTE] We're not personally hosting it on our site anymore, but we are not going to do anything else with regards to the free version that's already available. [QUOTE=Starscre4M;47664192]Oh, did they keep the old HEV suit? [/QUOTE] The MP model still uses the old HEV suit. The SP suit is the new one. We will rig up the new SP suit to the MP model, it's a task on our radar for later.
