Just discovered something.

One of the songs for this game, is from Operation Black Mesa.

Dunno the name of the song here, but in OBM: ''Missing In Action''

Am I the only one noticing this, or am I going insane?

Oh, that's interesting. I had that song composed specifically for Infested Planet. This is the composer who created it: https://helpcomputer.bandcamp.com/album/infested-planet

I don't know if I care enough to send a Cease and Desist to a random mod that's probably vapourware anyway.

I suppose if they actually release it, I'll need to have a talk with them.

Actually, how do you know that it's used in Operation Black Mesa?

All I can find is a bunch of Youtubers saying that it is, but the actual mod team doesn't have the soundtrack up anywhere. And as far as I can tell, the mod is dead - they've been working on it since 2007.

There is a soundtrack on moddb from 2009, but the Infested Planet music track isn't a part of it.

So ... maybe this is just some YouTube channels trying to pad their ad revenue. In which case, whatever. I'm not going to DRM claim it on YouTube because that would just hurt all the legitimate people who did lets plays of the game and such.

That is what I've myself been pondering, and I'm not sure if it is what I think it is, but apparently this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejpfFX4mugI claims to be the song in question, which is what I found it as. I'm not sure if it is, or if I'm being decieved, but that's what I found.

Yeah, that's the only place where I found it too.

Maybe it's just someone really excited for the mod that put together a fan soundtrack from songs that they liked.

Probably, and as I've noticed it's been 5 years without any actual advances, so I do thank you for looking into it. Let's hope O:BM doesn't actually use that track.

Oh, and, if I may ask, what inspired the soundtracks, anyway?

I think that the feeling of thousands of aliens constantly coming your way, being surrounded - that's the vibe that I was going for.

Most of the creative work was obviously done by the composer - Mark Wiebe. I'm just lucky that someone that talented crossed my path. :)
