Mod Feedback
I must say this map pack was very unique and I don't know what I actually played here but it was similar in style and execution to some older half-life 1 mods.

And I enjoyed that immensely. The mapping was brilliantly executed. The audio rather good on the later parts.

I found the initial part leading to the class room where you instruct your team regarding the red crystal somewhat lacking in general design. At that point everything appeared still normal. Whether it was a memory we replayed or the actual present I can't really say.

Regardless: I'd add more npc interactions, fox message announcements and in general more npc scripts. On the train ride for instance we had that truck driving in the sky box and a chopper passing by. - more of this. I found chapter 1 lackluster in audio composition.
It shocks me to this day how lazy the Black Mesa devs were in regards of pre cascade idle animations. Every npc usually appears static but that's hardly your fault.

The bad weather outside was fantastic and I believe your mod must have been the only one in Black Mesa that ever simulated lightning and thunder. - brilliant.

The remainder of the mod got better and better and I didn't encounter a single bug nor any graphical glitches be it bad brushes, texturing or anything else for that matter. I did enjoy the glimpse into humanities future as well as the encounter with, in his own language - certain entity.

I look forward to the continuation of this. I really like your style of mapping and story composition. So congratulations on a job well done.

But see if you can get your mod into the new Black Mesa UI to safe us from having to copy files over into the black mesa directory.
The custom Menu screen and chapter selection ain't really that important for a small mod this size. even though if it is a nice gadget to have.

Thanks for your feedback, i agree with you about less Actions in Ch. 1,2 i'm looking forward to make this place a bit alive Whether about NPCs or other to make player busy, but now i'm working for new chapters after that, All Chapters will updated and expect an little improvement to the older Chapters
