Nice to see this is moving on! That is the most promissing remake of HL I am aware of!

Nice!

Very funny to watch them running & shooting at the same time!
But for realistic situations, only make them shooting when "walking" (not running) could be more appropriated, but shooting while running is feasible in real so, but I hope you thought to also **** up so badly their accuracy!

The "I'll probably check it out when it releases." is probably the choice selected by most of the users who still have interest and excited (most of them were probably tempted to select the first choice), but where also a part of them lost a percentage of interest (or more, the excitation) due to the time it takes, and things which moves on on life, and time that past.
Choice I selected because I am still excited, but not as before due to that I said above.
Unfortunately, the last years (since coroshit period & the rest), a lot of programs & mods developers have like slowed down their work (can be seen on multiple domains), due to the fact some things may have changed for them in their personal life, and "followers" also lost some interest & do not support/feedback as much as before, sadly. Sad times!
But some other people who release new "****** projects" sometimes more in order to show something, projects which will never see the light of the day, also do not contribute much, due to the fact this enlarge amount of them & split things, making more interesting projects like "The Core" sometimes harder to discover for new people.
And despite there are usually less people than the past on HL1 engine-based games, there is still a solid database of purists who enjoy all the content, and it is gonna continue for sure, because we can find a lot of good one, and because this is famous!

But "The Core" is an "upcoming HQ mod people would like to see finalized as soon as possible, obviously"!

Impressive, simple 2D images rendering like 3D visually!
The main gain of such is probably about performance for sure.

That's evil!

Very good & juicy!
I hope you also fixed some "GetNextBestWeapon" calls on empty weapons (no more ammunitions), from that I recall there were bugs with that, where this did not switched to best weapon or something like (I did not tested again recently to confirm it, I just remember this).

Very good looking!

Some HL1 engine-based modes with lower quality content have been added to it, I do not see why yours not! Since it is very promising!
Yeah from that I saw entry registration on Steam is $100, not much if you got donations from people to help you at publishing the game on it, & maybe later you could make it pay to the library, at a cheap cost (like $5/10 maybe), or, for its final build with bugfixes reported & solved.
I remember for Black Mesa, the first release of the game was released for free (before the Xen chapter addition), then was later moved to Steam as paid game, with some changes.

Gorgeous!
I am also glad to see new features additionally to multiplayer support you already talked before (usually, most of new mods are only SP)!
Kind of mod which will likely deserve to be available through Steam games, this usually helps at increase popularity for quality work which is deserved.

Use 90's ambiance & "things", yes, can makes sense, despite this is a game & things are invented for such, so we can have freedom sometimes.
But the quality environment & textures BMC brings is something they should keep, this is the only "raw Half-Life remake" that interest me, because it goes deeper than just a classic Half-Life with a few minor changes (a bunch of people did such like "HL by X", "HL by Y", etc.) which do not interest me at all. Some other people having good knowledge should try to join this team instead to try making their own!

Yeah, & under Xash3D, this helps at rendering better!

Cool!
Also glad to see there are both Windows & Linux binaries.

Awesome render as usual! We can only languish the release moment now! Hehehehehe!

Yeah, GoldSrc should have been Xash3D from scratch! Impressive engine upgrade!

Huge difference about quality, effects & lights!

Nice mixed maps!

YOur whole picture (screens + desk parts) seem to be from a whole game (like a one under Source engine), due to the luminosity!

Yeah, finally a "remake" that worth to be followed, because it does not changes "tiny things" (which might not interested people like me who played HL multiple times), but it pushes things beyond that!
PS: I think authors, you should change the main image we see on mods list (https://www.indiedb.com/games/half-life/mods), it looks too dark & unvisible, almost like image display problem. Or, enlight the Black Mesa logo to be more white.

Well done!
So cool to see a game using Xash3D's potential!

Cool! Thanks!

I love that sunset!

Nice!! Looks like source effects!

Cool!

Nice quality environment & effects of lights!

I think the author might need to do some modifications before Steam release, like when you out of ammo, make the game switch to next best weapon, or when you go back to previous weapon (last used item), if this one is empty, you can deploy it while you can not via the inventory listing. I also think some models about characters & weapons could be changed to be better.
However, I am on chapter #3, I love to play it! Fresh game long time no see!

From that I recall it is, search for XP tool set (maybe like "v140_xp" in project settings, enable them), something like. Or maybe you could compile by using a slightly older version, this will not hurt, and you will probably do not loose any advantage actually provided.
And if at worse you have another old game you did, to compile with it and make me test, I will be glad to check & tell you if it works fine under XP!

Ah yeah, I see that you mean, yeah engine will not help, I though you were refering about "lags & cie" (low FPS).
Yeah the game has slow code of weapons switch then bugs when out of ammo etc. (no "GetNextBestWeapon" called when out of ammo, etc.), the first is probably for realism, because this is not normal you can switch weapon on a fly in a half-second, in real you can not really properly holster your current weapon then deploy a new one so quickly than under Half-Life!
For me it is realistic this way, but I understand this can be annoying if you do not like or are get use to "fast switch" in-game!

As I said someone else before, HL Violet Shift! Hahaha that Violet suit is kind of... special!

Try under Xash3D no? As I said above to @PMDLEADERSHIN.

Oh no!!!!
From that I recall, to make it compatible, you can enable "XP toolset" in options, something like. Please do! Do not make me cry! Hehe!
Because I will not install 7 just for a game (I did not for all the other I would like to so...), and do not play on my netbook having it which is weak and unpleasant!
