Harmonic Revelations 8,835 February 9, 2013 Share February 9, 2013 (edited) Many fan projects do not make it through production. As has been said in other threads, they often make it far just to have them pulled by the companies that own the copyright. However, one very amazing and impressive project, Black Mesa (Get it at Blackmesasource.com) has made it all the way through, since September of last year. Since Valve owns the copyright for Half-Life, do you KNOW what this means? It means that officially, Valve is the best company ever Other companies have been known to allow fan work, and I love these companies (I <3 Bungie and Bethesda, seriously, you kick ass, so do you ID software), in supporting and even officially adopting fan made content.

Yes-Man 597 February 9, 2013 Share February 9, 2013 Yeah! As you can tell, I love Bethesda too. And since last September!? And they haven't done anything!? Wow...well Hasbo didn't do anything about FiM at first so...wait, did they go out and say they approved of it? "I'm done being patient.

Wow...well Hasbo didn't do anything about FiM at first so...wait, did they go out and say they approved of it? Valve literally approves of it. Black Mesa is set to release on Valve's own game hoster (Steam) as well as where it's released now so I'd say that's definitely approval.

Betez 1,734 February 9, 2013 Share February 9, 2013 Yes, and yes. I love when companies support and even promote fan made content. If only Hasbro could do the same thing. I definitely wish more companies would follow in Valve's footsteps and take fan made content as a means of promotion into consideration.

Since it was approved a while ago, (when games are approved they are brought to Valve's attention) they definitely approve of it. Also, check out the trailer on the Steam Greenlight, if that doesn't make you see how amazing the project is, I don't know what will. If only Hasbro was that cool. However, Hasbro is NOT that cool.

Shift 4,272 February 9, 2013 Share February 9, 2013 (edited) Valve is my favorite company ever. They made my two favorite PC games: Portal and TF2. I mean, who DOSEN'T like them?! And they actually allowed fan work. Even though they can't count to three they're still awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6snb0o-5tWA Edited February 9, 2013 by Shift Have the courage to think and act on your own.

I heard they are developing Source 2 and a game to showcase it. I just hope that it's Half-Life 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free and it's a complete recreation with modern graphics and everything, Black Mesa won Best mod of 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonic Revelations 8,835 February 10, 2013 Author Share February 10, 2013 Yes and yes. The reason I love Valve so much, other then there awesome games. It makes the fans feel appreciated. Which is nice. I like that too. Valve's official tools for this, like Source: Filmmaker are just over all great and I'm glad that they're around. Also on the subject of Valve, this live-action Half-life machinima is pretty awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckSoTTjdpvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
