Phillip: OBM’s last media update was April 2011. Both mods gained new assets and new team members just in couple of days. I expect both mods will be released earlier due to the merge. Phillip: Will the merger delay the release of either mod? Let’s hope he’ll be cool with it when he returns among us!
It will be big surprise for him when he comes back. The fun fact is he even has no idea we merged, at least as far as I know, he is not aware of this. The leader of Operation Black Mesa is currently out of our reach due to personal problems. Phillip: I presume that both team leaders remain in control of their own team. There have been a few complications – especially in one department: The team is playing around with the idea of having one mod’s rendition represent the female version, and vice-versa, but I’m not so sure this might work. While things like textures or models pass more easily through the consistency process, things like conflicts between OBM’s bullsquid and Guard Duty’s bullsquid will be tougher to take care of. However, there will be certain issues with consistency, as the two mods each have their own distinct renditions of the classic HL1 enemies. The teams merged approximately 3 months ago, and work has been going very smoothly. And I think this is good news for all the people who are eagerly expecting remakes from Half-Life universe.” On the top of that, there will be that consistency, so both mods will feel like they are really from the same universe. We expect that this will put off some weight from our arms and will help us to get done both mods faster. Still, both mod projects are independent on each other in terms of release date. We share content, assignments, ideas, suggestions and feedback across both projects. What’s going on right now is that we are one team, Tripmine Studios, working on two projects. Have I got that right? Actually, how would you put it? They will be sharing assets and maybe even team members.
They are not merging into one mod, they are merging their teams in an effort to ensure consistancy of design across both mods. Phillip: Before we begin, we have this World Exclusive Announcement: Operation Black Mesa and Guard Duty are joining forces! Let’s clarify this. The news comes via a very lengthy interview Phillip did with MR.Sugar, EvilGoodGuy, and OddEyes of the OBM and Guard Duty development teams – or, to call them by their new name, “Tripmine Studios”, which they have bestowed upon their new development studio, which will be developing both projects as one team effort.
