Launch day is finally here, complete with a brand new trailer! We are making a big push to let everyone know that Black Mesa 1.0 is OUT! Please share this great news with your friends and followers on any social media platform.
We have pushed a build to public-beta on Steam. This is our candidate for our release out of Early Access! If you are interested in helping us test, we would greatly appreciate it. You can find instructions on how to opt into the beta after the jump.
Happy Lunar New Year from the Black Mesa team! We wanted to let everyone know we are close to having a release candidate for Black Mesa 1.0! We also wanted to give an update on what is going to be included in the full release, what our road map looks like going forward, and to mention we are 20% off for the Lunar Sale.
Happy Holidays! Did you remember to get your Steam tokens and cards today? Xen is OUT, Black Mesa is on sale for 20% off, lots of other great games are discounted, and I am sure everyone has caught up on their gaming backlog in anticipation of the Steam Holiday event, right?
The whole of Black Mesa, from beginning to end, is available on “public-beta”. Check out the known issues and give it a go! We are so pumped to have this out. We appreciate the feedback from the community; as we said before, it has proved invaluable.
Happy December! We've been murdering ourselves to get the Complete Black Mesa Beta out to everyone. We are really proud of what we have built, but there are still some rough edges we hope to smooth out.
Happy Half-Life day! We worked hard to have a full beta ready for today, but we are still grinding on a few things.
Happy (almost) Halloween! I can’t speak for the whole team, but this is one of my favorite times of year. I hope it has been treating everyone well. We wanted to update everyone on our progress, and mention we are discounted 40% for the Steam Halloween sale.
Interloper time! We have pushed 5 maps of the Interloper chapter to Steam Public Beta. Give ‘em a play and let us know what you think!
We wanted to have the first Interloper beta out last Friday, but we ran into two bad crashes in Interloper map A and B that were not present in earlier compiles. We’ve fixed the crashes and are doing some final tests on Steam.
