1. Our aims for mod are to recreate the Black Mesa from the original in a new form, more elaborated, with improved design of maps, and so on. Because at one time, Valvé did the maps badly, you can see bugs with textures when going to another level, holes between the walls, we will fix all this for better gameplay, and most gamers whos love Half-Life can't buy or cant play because they have weak computers.We are trying to help them, but the mod will be available only for the Half-Life 1 license to pay tribute to the developers for this masterpiece.

2. We developing Co-op for this mod, and we will support it approximately as Sven Co-op did in his time. Of course, the gameplay will be different from Sven Co-op because we have no engine sources, and we cannot remake all game with zero. But Co-op will be at a high level, even without it. Co-op will be available after the mod is fully released, multiplayer, arcade, and team deathmatch will also be supported.

4. It is possible that not everything, but we will transfer everything carefully, the same design, effects, but the restriction of the engine will not allow us to make colorful graphics, but we will improve it as many times as we can, just do not forget to make a good optimization for all this.This went on all computers. And not the situation with Half-Life: Echoes, where there were problems with the optimization of maps.

5. There have already been many attempts to make the transfer of Black Mesa, and the same remasters who were quickly die. So we will work more carefully and promise that the mod will come out for sure. And the fact that mod will developing with modelers with gamebanana. We can invite them to our team, and get all the copyrights on their models. By the same token, we give other developers a chance to become popular.
