Introducing The Test Chamber, The Black Mesa Livestream Show

So the dev walkthrough is basically your way of replacing ingame comentaries? And will they also be streamed? Cause it didn’t seem like it was when I was watching it.
On another note, if you guys increased the frequency of your streams would that hinder the game’s progress?

Yeah, I’m sure a few devs streaming for an hour or two every week would really hurt the game’s progress. Especially as we’re all machines who want to do nothing but work on BMS for literally all of our spare time.

I am joking (tongue firmly in cheek) by the way, in case that came across harshly.

Are you telling me you guys don’t spend all your spare time working on this?! I want a refund immediately! Ok enough derailment…

Nah, it wouldn’t. I’m the only one who organizes and manages the streams and nothing I’m currently working on will be hindered by increased streaming.

Wait, you’re not a machine? I have so many questions now.

Also, the Rocket League VoD will be delayed a dash. For full disclosure: It’s because I’m debating whether or not I want to make these types of streams (where we play a non black mesa game) part of The Test chamber, or make its own series… which we’d do roughly once a month, maybe twice if there’s a fun holiday or something. If I choose to make it a seperate series, then I’ll need to come up with a witty name for the series.

…“Gordon Freeplay”?

I’d say, as someone who really enjoys the Test Chamber streams, that I’d think the non-BM-oriented content would be better off as a different show. You could still use the same Twitch account for the actual streaming, but just make it notably separate in it’s branding and do the VoD on a separate YouTube channel. I recommend this because I’d think the average person who follows the project (but doesn’t do so religiously), and maybe doesn’t subscribe to the channel may be confused to check it out one day and see let’s plays of a bunch of different games.

So… What are you going to show on todays stream?

Office Complex Dev Lets Play

Iiiiiiiiiiinteresting…

How about
“Gordon Foreplay”

That goes on a whole different website hahaha

The OC lets play will be going up later today. Maybe the Rocket League one today, definitely tomorrow. Depends on how much internet I can chew up today :stuck_out_tongue:

When will be the next BM development news stream?

I was hoping it would be last week. I’ve been slammed between this and another project, so I decided to forgo it for them.

After thanksgiving, I would hope.

Really Sorry guys :frowning:

No need for the apology, we know you guys are busy.
I was wondering if The Test Chamberrrr is archived on youtube, twitch doe not keep all the old ones.

Hopefully this is what you’re looking for.

Thanks, don’t know how I missed that.

Hi. When can we expect the next BM Dev Stream?

I don’t know. Ontop of the stuff I’m doing with Black Mesa, I have a couple other major projects (unrelated to Black Mesa) that I’m working on. One I’m even planning to release come this April. So, honestly, I’m not sure.

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.
