      Seeing as Black Mesa is on steam that means that it's sale must be sanctioned by Valve. I remember hearing that Valve actually gave them permission to make it commercial. One way or another it's up to whether it falls within Valves good graces.

    They are still alive people, stop freaking out. I know, we are all very impatient. However, One of the devs on the discord did say they are working on the demo for this game. They also said they are laying off on the pr production for the time being until the demo gets released. This spoken by a dev in august, yes, I know that it's now November, but remember, a game isn't like slapping stuff together and calling it a day, it takes time to make this stuff good. I bet moving to a new engine, adding wind physics, destruction physics isn't the easiest of things ever to program. PATIENCE IS KEY.

Y'know, before getting instakilled by a single SMG grenade.

      ​@@Malinkadink dude it's not that the companies that valve bought weren't flawed, it's that all of them had unique (for it's time) game mechanics. CS had teams and money, Portal had portals. This particular video showed zero interesting mechanics, I am sorry but being able to move a tone of shit with the gravity gun at once is not interesting. Moreover, from the video it's clear they have a long, and I mean very very long way to go. There is nothing to buy yet. And "getting feet thtough doors" especially for individuals is not what we are talking about here, we are talking about project buyout.
      The fact is, valve is not interested in HL3 nomatter how much the community longs for it. Wanna know my opinion? Given how many crappy sequels we get nowardays and taking Artifact into account I think it is a good thing. At least one franchise remains unmasacred by money-hungry AAA devs.

      @@maya_gameworks so far from what I know they've been at least a year in the making possibly more. I think the graphics so far look good but due to them still being in early development they obviously haven't had a lot of time to refine it. while i do think some things could be changed like possibly the older gun models I think this project could be close to the half life 3 fans want. Before this game was announced I had heard that there were plans to put HL3 in an arctic environment but still I do think this is a good change of scenery which it seems like each game in the series so far has had. personally i think if valve were to buy it theyd probably much prefer to hire the team or pay to publish it and help refine it so the game can be perfect for the community that the team is trying to please. The physics system honestly looks great and so far the game looks way better than the last big community game Hunt Down the Freeman which was an absolute shitshow. In the end this is all based on personal opinion and the chances of valve actually buying the rights to the game or just publishing it are slim but im still going to be hopeful

      Ironically it's not far off... this is what happens to half life throughout it's entire existence. Because you put so much time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears into building the game, newer and better tech and newer engines/architectures/techniques come out before anyone has even played your game. Next thing you know you're 85% done and the "next gen" shit has already started releasing. Out of fear of having the game feel old or washed up upon release, dev teams are forced to start over or at least become forced to redo old work with updated models, lighting techniques, and sometimes even bigger things that take more time.
      Consider this: it may be time for Valve to start taking HL3 seriously. Efficient and powerful ray tracing (not the "garbage" we have now) is about a year away, and highly realistic physics aren't far after that. Along with the new VR techniques being used right now, they have the assets for an insanely beautiful and immersive world. It's exciting.

The fight ends, but a combine radio says reinforcements are coming. You look around the room, and finally notice gonarch in the ice, and to your horror, a fire that lit during the fight is melting it out. Combine reinforcements arrive, gonarch spits one of her huge white cum blasts at them, and a combine APC is melted in front of you. Ensue massive 3 way fight.
