Did someone mention God Rays? :smiley:

Absolutely outstanding job on tweaking the game guys, canā€™t wait to try it out.
:thumbup:

GODRAYS! I canā€™t wait.
Xen media soon - yes!
And a big singleplayer updateā€¦ ooh I canā€™t wait.

Looking awesome so far.

I already gonna say Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

Not gonna have alot of time to say it once itā€™s released!

Everything is sounding very exciting so far! Looking forward to seeing the full patch notes when itā€™s finally out. Iā€™ve tuned in a few times to the weekly show, and it sounds like youā€™re all having a great time.
Love you all, thanks for the hard work and dedication.

Already finished the game, but gonna replay it again as soon itā€™s released!

Everythingā€™s awesome! Iā€™m curious about the new shotgun model, youā€™ve mentioned few months ago :slight_smile:

Hey look, news!

Damn, how did I miss this thread when it came out?! Iā€™m late!
Those godrays look fantastic! I didnā€™t even know source could have godrays.

Evidently it is indeed possible. According to the developers, they had to write the code themselves because it isnā€™t a built-in feature.

Welp. I was gonna play another round of Black Mesa when this came out, but now that I hear Xen has some news I may wait a bit. Bravo guys, is there any specific day for when this update comes out?

Wait, so if the new SP content isnā€™t Xen, is it an implementation of the Uncut mod or perhaps Hazard Course? Or an Uplink remake?

From what I have heard, it should include a longer version of Surface Tension, similar to Uncut but remade. In answer to your second question, while I can make no guarantees, Iā€™ll call that improbable.

IĀ“ve been pondering that same possibility about Hazard Course. But weĀ“ll see soon enough, itĀ“s not too far now. Shit man, IĀ“m excited!

No hazard course. You are better off not trying to guess with ā€œinside informationā€.

What do you mean about ā€œinside informationā€? Are you replying to me? I just made that statement based on some of TextFAMGUY1ā€™s comments, what they seemed to imply. The developer comments Iā€™m basing mine on werenā€™t outright, but I consider the above comment I made to be more than the usual wild speculation, even if it turns out to be different.

From what I remember, the devs already said (at least a couple of times in the case of Hazard Course) that theyā€™re not interested in recreating neither Uplink nor Hazard Course. There are mods out there with this aim in mind, thus we shouldnā€™t expect this to happen.

I too can confirm that the next update does NOT include the Hazard Course. Weā€™ll have to finish it before we can give it to CC.
Weā€™ll find out what it is when itā€™s out, guys. Donā€™t worry about it so much. :stuck_out_tongue:

Canā€™t you people get hype about the plain-text without speculating between the lines?
Godrays.

All the content shown in the pictures looks very good. However I hope it will be possible to disable the godrays via options, because I fear they be too distracting in multiplayerā€¦ (will be too hard track some enemy taujumping through a hell of godray effects)
