[UPDATE: FINAL VERSION NOW LINKED]

Hello Patrons!

At long last we are ready to share our Black Mesa documentary with Early Access Patrons. 

This cut is 98% done with a few additional b-roll elements (book and box shots), a few minor script tweaks, the credits and some small elements of quality control being added to this doc. But we're talking probably 1 minute of changes in a 130 minute video.

That said, if you spot anything untoward in the doc let us know. We're trying to get this out next week at some stage but I've been getting Adobe render issues this past week so it's kind of up to the gods.

The whole team but a lot of work into this one so we hope you enjoy it!

Hey guys, love it so far, but I saw a glitch at 1:16:14/1:16:15 where the video cuts for a frame or two to the design guy. This is my first preview after joining Patreon, not sure if you're looking for this kind of feedback or if you're already aware of it.

Great spot, thank you Brian we absolutely value this type of feedback. Really appreciate it! (edit: just fixed it now)

Mister Bolticus

2hrs and 10m? what an absolute unit of a video! Congrats on getting it finished guys!

Riccardo Margiotta

That was terrific, well done all! The stand ups looked spectacular, what views! Maybe just about worth your 9 hour drive. 🙂 Great content in there, really digging in deep to the design concepts. Cool to see all the design docs and grey box tests, I particularly liked the teleportation physics tests from the final boss.

Matthew Guise

Really enjoyed this! Have so much respect for that team. Noticed a small typo in the credits: "Additiona Editing"

Top notch job. Hope somehow Twinsen ends somehow in some of your videos.

Very good! While watching this, I was thinking that the mini case studies of Valvean game design could make for good promo clips to help get visibility for the funding push coming up.
