- Summary
- Black Mesa is a Half-Life 2 total conversion remaking VALVe Software's award-winning PC game, Half-Life. Utilizing the Source engine, Black Mesa will reintroduce the player as Doctor Gordon Freeman, along with the original cast of memorable characters and environments seen in Half-Life. Black Mesa was founded to fully reconstruct the Half-Life universe utilizing Source to its fullest potential in terms of art detail, level sizes and code features. This total conversion was originally designed to be played as a MOD for those who own legitimate copies of Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source. The development team later gained permission from original game designer Valve to sell Black Mesa as a separate product on Steam, and adapted the code to run on its own using a modern version of Steam engine. NOTE: Not to be confused with Half-Life: Source -- this is an enhanced remake built as a total conversion of Half-Life 2.

Straight to the bad news: we are pushing back the release of Xen. We are truly sorry for getting everyone's hopes up and then delaying... again. We worked very hard to make December, but we are not yet ready. As a team, we take FULL responsibility for that. We have an internal deadline we are confident in, and we will be getting everyone more details as we get closer to that date.
Thank you again to our community and Early Access supporters. The funding from Early Access has allowed us to hire many new talented developers, and has allowed older developers to put more time in the project. Simply put, Xen has proven to be an enormous undertaking, and while we are managing it to the best of our ability, it is proving to take longer than we estimated.
The good news is that we will be releasing a large update in December to test all of the new features that have been developed for Xen. We have changed a number of things within the Source Engine, and we want to make sure they all work on the myriad of PCs out there. By enabling the new tech on the Earthbound section of the game, we can get the engine/code fully stabilized on Steam before we drop the final chapters.
In December we will also have an update on where our Xen chapters stand, show some additional media, and deploy the engine update.

Can't say I'm really surprised but hopefully the actual Xen release keep getting less and less farther with each delay.The graphical upgrade seems pretty good and really pushes the Source engine to new eights, perhaps making this game the best looking Source game that is not Titanfall.
26-12-2017 UPDATE: Big engine upgrade is out on public beta and is a fairly extensive one, enhancing the graphics in some significant ways, as well fixing bugs and tweaking/changing a few gameplay mechanics and preparing the game for the eventual Xen update.
