Well, this is… Outstanding news! We’re honored to be nominated for the “Outstanding Visual Style” Steam Award!
We are blown away to even be in the mix with the other fantastic candidates.
Thank you to all those who nominated us. If we could ask for yet another favor, please vote for Black Mesa in the “Outstanding Visual Style” category! Voting starts today, and ends January 3rd at 9AM PST.
As a small indie developer, we are beyond floored with the amount of support we have had on Steam. The Art, Design, and Programming team worked extremely hard to make our game look great, and we are very proud of what we have accomplished. The “Outstanding Visual Style” award would mean a lot to all of us at Crowbar Collective.
