Modders continue to refine the updated version of the classic.
Recently, the HECU Collective team released a new development diary for the Black Mesa: Blue Shift remake.
The modders are collaborating with the creators of Black Mesa from the studio Crowbar Collective:
We are showing how new features from upcoming Black Mesa engine updates are already being actively used in our Blue Shift remake. Learn more about the new lighting system and what these technical updates will bring to our project in the future.
The authors of Black Mesa: Blue Shift discussed not only technical aspects, but also gameplay.
Crowbar Collective will soon implement improvements that will allow modders to fine-tune the difficulty of certain elements. With the new system, the level can change significantly when switching difficulty.
For example, on the "easy" level, battles will be less intense, and on the "hard" level, players will face a full-fledged challenge, there will be more enemies, and the amount of supplies will decrease. This system is planned to be combined with the current "dynamic difficulty" system.
The selected difficulty will also affect puzzles: they can be removed or made more complex.
