The new update will also include a large number of bug fixes and other improvements to many parts of the game.

You can expect the Surface Tension Update to launch later this month. We hope this excites you as much as it excites our team! Surface Tension: UNCUT was the perfect opportunity for us to test CSM and get it functioning on our already completed earthbound levels, as well as a number of other techniques to be used in completing Xen. So I finally installed Black Mesa and I'm curious what mods are 'mission critical' for experiencing something as close to the spirit of the original game as possible The reason I ask is that some of the comments on Steam Workshop indicate some mods like 'On a Rail Uncut' don't work properly anymore so I'm curious if anyone has figured out what. We've brought CSM to you in this update as a little tiny taste of what is to come. Third, CSM was an absolute must for us to reach our vision for bringing Xen to life. It’s a very important part of the Half-Life story.

It was a free mod and the Xen portion of the game was yet to be released. I played Black Mesa back when it called Black Mesa Source. On A Rail Livestream Special Featuring Chon Kemp. The end of ST is the part where the H.E.C.U start to lose, and it sets up the events for Half-Life 2. I wonder why Black Mesa is so much larger at 13GB compared to HL2 at 3.5GB I think it's likely that Black Mesa has a bunch of much higher quality textures. Updates, events, and news from the developers of Black Mesa. Second, Surface Tension did not feel complete without its later levels. To show we hear what the community is asking for, and as a small thanks for the people who have already bought the game, we completely rebuilt the last three maps of Surface Tension based off of Half-Life (side note you can play Chon’s 'On A Rail: Uncut' on the workshop).

One of our developers, Chon Kemp, added these levels into the mod version of the game, and people wanted to see it in the official version. Why work on these instead of that other thing?įirst, there were a lot of community members asking for this addition.
