Black Sierra is a modern day cooperative horror game being designed on the Unreal engine, using the latest from Unreal Tournament 3 Black Sierra will deliver a bone-chilling atmosphere combined with a good action based game play. Designed around cooperative play, and to be replayed, Black Sierra will send players through the mountain as a tactical unit sent to perform a search and rescue after the mountain community stopped communications entirely. Upon arrival goals are changed, and orders are made to get to the bottom of the mountain in an attempt to survive. Starting from the top, and working your way down players will battle creatures of unknown origin through towns, forests, mines and more.

Report this article Small overhaul

The first of a series of smaller updates to be issued in between the bigger monthly posts. This one discusses an overhaul of Black Sierra's web pages(updates to the forums, profiles, description, etc).

A small, yet rather important overhaul is being conducted on Black Sierra to clear some things up when it comes to defining Black Sierra. The Moddb profile has been cleaned up, and rewritten for the most part to allow players to have more of an idea of what to expect out of Black Sierra and how it'll play out. In addition, an idea has been playing in my head, and I've decided to give it a chance to see how it plays out. In-between our monthly posts (if we make them on time that is) I'll be giving out some smaller updates every now and again sort of like this one, mainly just text based updates to describe different things being added and removed for Black Sierra, smaller things that won't be included in the large updates (well, for the most part). If the community responds well, they may get more detailed as we get further down the road. This would technically be the first one of them, and it's simply stating the overhaul that's taking place, and will be continued to flow for the rest of the week. As I was saying, the overhaul is here to enlighten the community more on Black Sierra, along with the Moddb profile being updatd, the forums activity will be increased, as some of you may know the forums haven't had much of a special purpose, but in the coming weeks more images of work in-progress will be posted, some polls will be initiated to get the communinity's opinion and the like. The website will be updated later down the road as'well.

 

I'd like to also mention, that even though our team is still getting things done, we could use a hand here and there. We are getting things covered, but production tends to bog down quite a bit at times, simply because we don't have the time to do it all at a fast paced. But don't let that bother you, Black Sierra won't stop production, and it'll continue forward. However, the positions that follow are still open.

Even though I love the mod, I can't stand the Freewebs website. Please just get a web developer, and get a REAL page.

Yes, we are working on getting a new one. We only touched the freewebs before UT3 was even out, and were using it temporarily. Its time to get a new pet and bury that one cuz its starting to stink.
