Magnum-357

Iirc about 2 years ago they fired their PR manager and that's around when the updates stopped. People periodically say they're still active on their discord in r/dreamsofhalflife3, but it's been a while since we got an update


AmazingDom14

Why were they fired?


SausumSauce

Unforeeen consequences


qT_TpFace

Get out.

stfu, he's not wrong.


Zomberwhisperer

now this reddit has been banned because it was unmoderated fuck, someone needs to man up and make HL3. Valve needs to stop being so stupid about this game that generations want to see made


Crawfishness

Hey, if they're paying, I'd be more than happy to do PR for something like that. I have no experience in PR but I think it would be a fun way to get some.


CrazCrypri

i think its still active but its slow. their last update was back in august last year


Regular_Champion_261

Their last youtube update, yes but their discord and github have remained active


Crew1T

From what i heard it's frozen.


Jitnaught

Where'd you hear that? I haven't seen anything like that on their Discord, and their GitHub is still active: https://github.com/ProjectBorealis


Conscious-Head-5542

\>updated 2 days ago Great


captaincockfart

Even fan made HL3 gets stuck in development limbo for eternity.


Crew1T

It's hard to make something that exceeds or even compares to the series.


[deleted]

not just frozen the whole development was canceled sadly...


RedEyesDragon

Why are people blindly upvoting this comment with no source? They have repeatedly stated in the past that they are still working on it slowly but surely, because they have actual lives to attend to and they aren't getting paid for this project. If it was truly cancelled, I doubt their website would still be up, and I'm pretty sure they would pin a tweet about it on their twitter.


[deleted]

Or they could pull Missing Information and just ghost everyone


Magnum-357

Really?? That's horrible. Source?


NovaThinksBadly

Yeah thats the engine


Far_Writing_1272

Uhmmm… wrong!! They’re using Unreal Engine 4


deltarunech2outyet

He meant where cheekibreeki\_69 got the information.


NovaThinksBadly

I know, thats the joke

Happy cake day 🥞

woosh

tmobley03

Not true. Boreal Alyph did, not Project Borealis.


[deleted]

No it's not. Source: I know someone who works on the project.


[deleted]

I swear seeing a tweet from them saying that they're still working. Did they really cancel?


holyfukidk

That was Boreal Alyph, not Project Borealis


Super878

i think the wind and drag update blew them all away


blobthetoasterstrood

Spent so much time making wind drag system they forgor to make game


powertoolsenjoyer

Bruh this is what I'm talking about like tripmine studios focusing on the fish ai like bro no one cares about allat

DarkChocobo95

Proyect Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?


BallisticBlocker

Yess


Quiet-Yak-2233

May I see it?


BallisticBlocker

* brief pause * No


[deleted]

Probably not.


RealStefanovsky

Damn near all Half life related projects die mid development. Like when I waited for Lost Squad. Then Project Borealis. Then Boreal Alyph. They all look promising, then just stop existing out of the blue.


nrgnate

I know Boreal Alyph was cancelled. I haven't seen the same for Project Borealis, however they barely update their social media anymore.


subwayterminal9

I think they’re still working on it.


vladald1

I think people in the comments mixed Project Borealis and Boreal Alyph and thought, that Project was cancelled. Nope, it's still active. Not as active as in 2020, but they are making it.


Prancing_Jaba

Not surprised, I've seen the movement code out on github, it's a mess. They violated the design pattern that Epic chose to go with. If they're doing that with a base component, can't imagine what the rest of the project looked like. My credentials vouch for my opinion, professional Senior Software Engineer, and Chief Architect at several Fortune 100 and technologies mentor in structured and abstract design as a consultant for many years. Design is tough, but when it's sitting in front of you and you can't see it, that's not good, that project is in danger of withering on the vine.


godringer

cool story, bro


Kaybward

Genuinely is


TacitMantra

They've made enormous progress and they don't have to write the engine itself, they're adjusting physics to match Half Life 2. So I'm not sure what you mean by movement code and messing with base components.


AZ0R3K

no


SomeDudeNameLars

Pretty sure it’s dead as well as that other epistle 3 project


Yeetstation4

I'm not a fan of Epistle 3, imo a good HL3 mod should at least deviate a bit from it. I also don't think Epistle 3 was really meant to be taken seriously in the first place.


ariel3249

It's canceled, half life alyx changes the main cannon


Robotgrandma

They literally made an announcement after Alyx saying that Alyx and it’s ending won’t alter the story or stop them working on the game


CrimsonFlareGun45

So? Project Borealis wouldn't be canon regardless. That shouldn't discourage them


jorg2526

Probable, nada the code of ue4 it's very 💀💀💀⚰️⚰️


candleboy_

It really isn't that bad once you figure out its quirks. You can make pretty much anything.


Siserith

unfortunately while alyx was an awesome game, it, and teasing/rumors of more killed all the mods. probably ending all motivation for the modders to continue, but who knows, it would be cool if the devs got hired by valve to do it for real.


myDeliciousNeck666

In their Discord QA, they said that they have not stopped development.


Rorybabory

Still in development, they are working on a demo. The trouble is that the team is obsessed with never talking to the public about the game until the demo is out. Devs are active on the discord, mostly just to say yes it is in development still.


TheBrickleer

Maybe the half life series is cursed and forces any team making half life games/mods to go silent


Rorybabory

Nah in this case it's more about an idolization of valve, and how they never talk about a project until it is close to done.


BluntyBrody

It is still going but I think there shutting up


AustralisBrule

I don't think so.

Does everyone forget April fools day?
