First off, allow us to apologize for our prolonged absence - we've had much to contend with and it's been a very exciting (and sometimes turbulent) year for us.
However, we are happy to announce the launch of a devblog for our new game, BEACON, a sci-fi action roguelike coming to PC. We know this might not be your cup of tea as it is very different from Black Snow, but give us a chance to impress you. And if it happens to be right down your alley, then by all means follow us along the development of the game and chime in to give your feedback as we create the product together!
Follow the development of the game alongside us here at our devblog. If you are curious about who "we" are, check out our website.
//INITIATING INTERNAL MEMO 1.TH.289A //FORWARDING TO ALL IPR PERSONNEL... ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL IN CELL 1-5, PROJECT BLACK SNOW IS NO LONGER A VIABLE...
boop bop beep boop. Robots. And spooky programming. (We couldn't figure out what to fill up the 50 character min limit with, but we guess we just did...)
Black Snow V 1.05 released! Include fixes for indoor fog, missing textures, and config override. Recommended for those who have not played yet!
Take the role of John Matsuda, an IT technician trapped in a Greenland research station - he might find his way out and struggle against unknown forces...
This patch fixes most issues related to engine branch incompatibility and is designed to run using the latest "Beta" of Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer...
First attempt at fixing the exit key issue, replace your maps folder with the one in the zip file and pray it works!
This is a small patch for those of you who already downloaded V.1.01, please overwrite everything with this!

this dogshit mod crashes nomatter what you do. don`t waste your time
I got it to launch all right, but it crashes during the opening cutscene (3 different places in the 3 attempts I made)
Recently streamed a COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH of this mod as well as some gameplay of others. Here's the VOD (it's the second game after "Hopeless Night")
If you guys wanna play native on Linux, download the Source SDK Client Binaries for GNU/Linux here: Github.com
I compiled these myself, and they work amazing. Make sure you follow the instructions with the repo, because you have to run a shell script on the black snow resources. Source on Linux cannot load a file if it has an upper case character in the file name, because linux is a case-sensitivity operating system.
I love this mod! Nostalgic too, I just played this again with a Source 2013 patch not to long ago and still love the mod. Still scary to this day in my opinion, I especially love all the little details you guys put in.
Also my friend wanted to add his opinion here:
"Graphics have come a long way since the 70s, the graphics look great in this mod. I noticed a lot of props that were used from the Half-Life 2 games. Good scary game to play in three words: Adventurous, scary, and worth playing. But was disappointed with the ending, especially since it didn't have alternative." -My friend
My friend was also wondering who did the voices for the mod in the intro map, since there were no direct credits to who did the voices? He'd love to know who did them!
Please remake or continue this mod. It's been almost six years and the mod is still a 40-50 minute experience with a lazy and out of place ending. They pulled off the atmosphere, the sounds, plot and progression very well and it would be a shame to see this discontinued!
Manage to fix the background image missing by replacing it with one from another source mod. it works now
The game loads up and a half of a second after the intro when u can see the half life 2 background, the game quits?!?
Why does the game crash when the intro plays i have every patch and the game still crashes
keep getting the error "can't find background image materials/console/blacksnow_menu1.vtf", i've been wanting to play the game for years, along with other sourcemods, i originally saw the mod in 2013, and i've been wanting to play it, and just now i've rediscovered it, downloaded it, but can't get it to work, i'd love some help. mainly the working "blacksnow_menu1.vtf", if you could email it to me, i'd love that.
(sorry i thought i was signed in earlier,)
