Black Mesa, the long-term research and development of Half-Life 1 by the independent team Crowbar Collective, will be launched on Steam next week.
It was a considerable journey. Black Mesa was developed for an incredible 14 years-the work of a team of volunteers, according to the organization's Adam Adams, which started making money for the project only a few years ago.
Engels announced this in a blog post on Steam today, confirming that Black Mesa 1.0 will finally be released on March 5 after five years of use.
"Through luck, hard work, and maybe some ignorance, we didn't shy away from achieving the goal of this game," he wrote. "We are proud of our build. We think this upcoming 1.0 release is by far the best, most refined, and most interesting version of the game. Our expectations and excitement for the project are amazing.
"Black Mesa is a video game, it is our video game, and it has its advantages and disadvantages. As Leonardo da Vinci said," Art will never be completed, it will only be "Deprecated," although we plan to fully support the game through bug fixes and other methods after version 1.0, it will never be the perfect game. "
Black Mesa is a half-life remake of Valve, updated maps to provide a smoother gaming experience, and added modern visual effects not available when Half-Life was launched. As with all Early Access games, the game will be automatically updated to the released version for users who purchase $ 19.99 / £ 14.99.
