As far as I know, I believe that Xen is all they have left to do, which was stated at the start of this year. so Unless it's taking them a really long time to finish up Xen I don't know.

Also do people really think Portal 2 is releasing any source code? It's pretty common knowledge thats never going to happen, but hey if it does, I'll record myself doing a back flip sitting down.

I mean when you get down to it though we're really all waiting for the re-release of HL1. So it's not much of a serious deal it's not out yet. Funny enough the only reason Blackmesa source might be as well know as it is may be because of how long it's been in dev.

you can safely say that the popularity of half life 1 has something to do with it as well
and their official media releases look pretty good, you can't deny that :-)

Well, I looked around on the forum of the site and there is not much info to gain...
But it seems like they got time enough to create this http://www.isblackmesareleased.com/ :S

I also found this: http://wiki.blackmesasource.com/Special:NewFiles Witch I had not seen before.

OMFG, Someone in Blackmesa is still alive! If anyone here from North America, get your ass movin and launch a rescue mission down to Texas right now! Bring brothers and sisters! Set up paypal and I´ll get you money if needed! Don´t tell the gov, they will just bomb it! GOGOGO!

No, seriously now. As they though seem to be alive, someone here must have got somekind of contact with the devs over the past year? I am pretty sure they have stumbled by this site while building the mod, right?

2nd of December, They do seem to be pretty sure of their mod being "On Schedule" so maybe we should take em for their word.

I actually think limitation is good for creativity. If we had an engine that could do everything, we would be in trouble. It gives us focus. ~~ Randy Lundeen

True, likely any of us could make a HL1 map look pretty, but if you haven't noticed they did more then just re-map it all. They also made all new new models, textures and other assets look quite awesome, doubtful you could do all of that in a month, or even a year ;)
Have a question related to modding or something I posted? Something that needs staff attention? I haven't been active lately, but feel free to PM me or message me on Steam(link below)

Still, they had to re-script ALL the hammer logic, and replace every npc to work exactly the same. And I heard they added new stuff so there is more action and scripted events.
