Finally! The type of game you've always wanted to be able to play with a friend; Black Sierra is a cooperative horror survival game. A singleplayer horror experience designed specifically for 2-5 players. With an action packed gameplay, horrorific atmsopher, and an unknown enemy from the deep. Players will be pitted up against small groups of fast, agile and deadly creatures. Quick to take down, but hard to hit. Players will need to work together to make it through the various scenarios as they make it into dark forests, towns and more. Armed with high quality weaponary, such as the popular G36C, and M4 players will soon be required to scavenge civilian shotguns, rifles and pistols as ammunition is decreased.
Story:
High in the mountains of Black Sierra, recent mining activities have driven beasts of unknown origin from their underground lairs in fear. Unleashed upon the stocks of the secluded towns throughout the mountain, the creatures who have no reason to fear man spreads through the towns in a feeding frenzy. A few weeks later with various reports of missing persons, a team of Search and Rescue workers are sent up in a rescue effort, during a violent tranmission ending from the Search and Rescue workers, the county issues the mountain under unknown hostile attack. Your squad, a highly trained tactical unit from the state is sent up to the top of the mountain to rescue all personnel and eliminate the threat. After an encounter between your squad and the beasts, objectives are re-issued and it becomes your priorities to make it down the mountain alive. Reversing the usual process of making you start from the beginning and work your way to the end, Black Sierra sends you from the top to the bottom as you are sent from town to town to find any means of escaping the horrors alive.
Features:
- Lock and Load: With a vast range of real world weapons, both civilian and law enforcement related. These weapons will be balanced with the idea of realism, without forgetting what's fun. Weapons will feature various bonuses; iron-sights, red-dot, long lasting workable flashlights.
- Full-Out Atmosphere: Forests will be dense and dark, houses will be fully furnished, and towns will be desolate. Detail is the key, lighting, sounds, objects and more will all be detailed to give off a proper scare.
- Stare Death in the Face: Creatures that are faster than they are tough, quick to take down, but tough to hit. These creatures have the element of surprise and speed on their hands, with sharp talons and razorblade teeth the creatures of Black Sierra will lung, run, and stalk their prey (you!).
- A Playground of Death: With maps ranging from towns, to mines, and even to forests. We are sure you'll find a favourite map to go back.
- Full-Out Cooperative Play: No cheap gimmicks here, each and every map is designed for cooperative play, triggers, creatures, weapons, and more are all designed around the ability to play Black Sierra with friends. After all, cooperative play is a highly over looked experience, and we wish to bring that back.

After a hectic two months from our previous post, we have finally come back to show you guys what has been going on lately. Even though we did miss last months post, we didn't stop working. We've improved quite a bit of things. With Alex (our player modeler) preparing himself for college, he has sent me the model. After a bit of tweaking to the proportions, and adding some equipment (holster, pouches, radio, etc) myself I was finally able to rig it. And that took A LOT longer than I was anticipating. However; it is fully rigged, and just needs some tweaking to the weight before I can finally get it in-game and animated.
However; in the mean time while I was playing with all sorts of things for the player model. Corey has redone quite a bit of the original mines (now officially labeled: Descent), especially the transition between the natural caves of which the beasts of Black Sierra come from and the man-made-mines in which....were stupid enough to disturb the monsters....idiots.
Ahem. And in our modding adventures; we've come across two modelers who have joined us and have been working hard since the beginning of last month to provide us with assets. Vi and Ryan have already created a variety of things for us to use, Ryan has created things from boilers to medical satchels, and Vi has been working hard on our very own Huey helicopter in which he's in the process of texturing as of now.
And that pretty sums up this news post.

nice update :)
hey this is looking good :D
This mod isn't dead. They just have most of the content on their homepage, i guess
No new updates? Please don't let this mod die, you guys are doing a great job.
We didn't die; just had a bit of a Vacation during June. We're back on schedule now ;)
Good to hear :D
the models and levels are looking great, keep it up :D
lol are you using hacked CSS models :S
Either way looks very cool :D
All our models are either defaulted from UT3 (as place holders) or 100% originally made for Black Sierra.
Tell me friend, which of our models are from CSS? Hm?
That's what I thought, none.
