Looks like Black Mesa, the fan created Half-Life remake, isn't dead after all. In a site update posted yesterday, the team discussed the progress and the difficulties getting Black Mesa out the door.

Unfortunately, not all went well for development. Over the course of the year the team had to endure an internal alpha leak, the hacking and subsequent deletion of the entire public forum database, multiple hackings of the public forums after that, and just recently, the deletion of the public website and the team's FTP account (with over 2 gigabytes of source files on it).

Despite those setbacks, the game looks like it's coming along very well. Check out the media updates for some familiar environments and enemies with tasty new graphics.

And if you're so technicaly inclined, check out the dev team's open positions. Help get this mod out faster! I want to play this thing yesterday. Michael McWhertor
