The Black Mesa Team (Crowbar Collective)

There's been a lot of questions about how Crowbar Collective works. We wanted to give you guys a better understanding of how we operate and what to expect from us.

First off, we are in no way associated with Valve. We're fans, just as much as you. After Black Mesa was Greenlit, Valve offered to let us sell Black Mesa on Steam. We were floored by the offer, and could not turn it down. That gave us more access to the Source Engine, and more resources to finish our game. Valve gave us a license and answered our technical engine questions via email, but they were not part of the development of Black Mesa.

Crowbar Collective isn't your typical game development team. We're an international group of part-time developers who work on Black Mesa in our spare time. Additionally, there is no physical 'Crowbar Collective studio.' We communicate through Steam, Skype, and online forums. Being able to work well despite not being in the same room, let alone time zone, is probably our most significant accomplishment over the years.

None of this excuses us from delivering what we said we were going to deliver. We are working away on Xen, and we will continue to improve the game before and after Xen ships. We hope this answers some questions about what's new in the Steam version and gives you a better understanding of the Black Mesa team.

Thank you for your support.
