Get Black Mesa on Steam! We can do it!

Hahaha this is brilliant

Is it showing 0% for just me? if not, please say it’s a glitch.

It’s showing that for me too.

Yeah me too.

EDIT: Yeah that was just a Steam Greenlight bug. Carry on.

The following is pure speculation: The more I think about GreenLight, when it arrived, and what is going on right now, I have no doubt, whatsoever, that this was heavily influenced by BMS, ultimately. Don’t kid yourselves (imho). VALVe has been following BMS as much, if not more, than any of us. But think about it: how bad would it have looked to give BMS the red-carpet-treatment on Steam… many, many devs would be completely steamed (pun intended)… or even hurt. Which would be understandable… Being a dev of any kind is tough, tough work. And so many, put so very much time, effort, blood, sweat and tears, into games and apps that either end up on very few devices or computers, or simply have the misfortune of not being at the right place at the right time. Think about that. If this is indeed the case, I could not blame VALVe one bit. This just makes perfect sense to me.

Hope they sort the glitch out. It’s quite unnerving as to whether it will lose all the votes and start at 0 again…

It’s a glitch, it happens to most of the games at some point, check out what i’ve caught slender: source doing over the last couple of days - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/68272416/greenlight-wierdness.png

I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, i think it might be a caching related problem between multiple webservers (like one or more webservers tries to fetch the latest vote count, fails/partly-fails for some reason, then stores a faulty number in the cache for the next 30/60 minutes), but who knows really.

I’m seeing 30%. Don’t worry guys.

Yeah, same.

Hell yeah we’re in second place

I just put in a tip over at IO9.com… a kickass science fiction site that is part of the gawker network. The only search results on their site for Black Mesa was two stories about the fan film Beyond Black Mesa… maybe they will post a story. I sent along all the relevant info about launch next Friday, Steam, VALVe, BMS team and GREENLIGHT etc… of course, they also have kotaku.com, but who knows if the different gawker sites work together etc… figured it couldn’t hurt.

Are you guys going to throw a party for me, after my next post… and I become a vort?

Great, it seems like this game is growing fast on greenlight

How did you map that data?

Oh, and that little widget is AMMMAAAAAZING! :smiley:
(Now I don’t have to refresh the BM GL page every hour to check in!)

Ignore me.

Now this is interesting! Anyway, it’s 03:14 CET here (and BM is at 30%), I just couldn’t go to bed before having my nightly amount of Black Mesa. Tomorrow, I’ll send the news and tip for another webpage of a pc magazine.

:bms:

I e-mailed some gaming websites about Black Mesa being 2nd on Greenlight, let’s hope it works for something.

Edit: Don’t know if it’s already been said, but I just noticed they changed the “Would you BUY this game if it were available in Steam?” to “Would you PLAY this game…?”

I believe he made this site:
https://stewartatkins.co.uk/greenlight/

Sadly though I think the posts that contained the link were edited out.

Valve changed something for Black Mesa and other free games.

I think that means “yes” to free games on Steam :slight_smile:

Black Mesa down to 1%? Or is it just another Greenlight error?

Edit: Never mind. Back to 30%. Get it together, Valve! :slight_smile:

Oh, nifty. Thank you.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
