2:00 if that white board doesn’t appear in the game as an Easter egg, it’ll be a travesty!
I second this!
YES
yeah lol
that would be interesting
This is perfect, I really hope they decide to do that
all devs: im gonna make these physics more realistic and very complex
me while playing: haha i shoot zombie
LMAO
*map editor*
*sets map to have mach 69 windspeed*
*puts headcrab corpses everywhere*
Plot twist: wind speed affect bullet projectiles
If it's implemented well, people will either notice and love it, or people will love the game but not think about why.
Even if someone didn't care much about technical mumbo jumbo back in 2004, I'm sure they still loved the physics that was so involved in the game.
haha funny ragdoll
for those worried that this project got abandoned, it didn't, Tyler McVicker (Valve News Network) said in a stream they're currently working on a Ravenholm demo/level
If Tyler McVicker said it, it's definitely true.
/s
I might be wrong, but didn't he say that 18 months ago? I could've sworn I remember asking him something like that in one of his streams
Now I know it’s officially dead cuz Tyler
Huh
@@youdonegoofed it is, but man's a constant jinx machine, he had to give up on Half Life to Valve release HLA
Yoo this feels exactly like what Half-Life 3 would have been. Even the waiting time is so spot on.
Man, this game just feels so insanely high-production, and tight with presentation to be indie...maybe they have a secret big-budget sponsor?
Honestly , just looking at the production quality of update videos , websites , soundtrack makes me feel like i'm following an AAA development team , yet it's somewhat 20-30 half-life fans across the globe working together towards common goal of making their dream-game of beloved series.
No, it's actually more like 80-100, which probably explains why it is so high-budget looking. Even so, this is crazy good!
Valve
I'm pretty sure valve supports the development
Conspiracy theory: Valve knows that they can't release Half-Life 3 without people complaining.
They have Laidlaw release the story and many fan projects are born because of it. They either pick up the best looking one or already have a fake indie team working it, with the published material only serving as plausible deniability in the case someone suspects Valve is behind it all. In any case, they secretly pump money there while the developers at the main company concentrate their efforts on a lower stakes killer app like Alyx, that sparks back interest into the Half-Life series. When Borealis is finished they pick it up a la Black Mesa and publish it with their blessing.
People won't complain about an indie game, especially one as well done as this. Interest in Half-Life: Renewed, Half-Life 3: released, series: saved, VR market: revolutionized.
ah man I was searching for a gmod addon that simulated wind drag and lift forces to build real planes, I never quite found one that worked very well. now I'm really looking forward to playing with this. (I think I said this on the last video too lol oh well)
Nothing these guys are making will be open-source, and they are using unreal engine 4, not Source engine. These guys have nothing to do with Valve, just amateur devs building a fan-made game.
We've open sourced the game's Half-Life 2 style movement code and a number of tool repositories at github.com/projectborealis :)
@@evolicious The Source engine is a heavily modded Quake/id tech engine and Valve had nothing to do with ID software back then, just a bunch of amature game devs building a game.
@@evolicious "Amateur Devs" They're redefnining wind physics for their own video game.

Me trying to understand:
*ah yes wind very strong*
Me:
Wind OP pls nerf
Stronk
So?
Ah yes box go roll. Thin box go fly.
The project is still alive, they're still working on it, there are no new updates because they have nothing to show yet. Stop saying the project is dead! You know, these things.. they take time!
I love you god noclick almighty
I mean, if they haven't got anything done in an entire year, they are either really lazy or the project is abandoned. The least they could do is tell people that they are still alive.
Unfortunately alive
You're right

When your physics professor is also a game developer.
Game developers usually need a strong background in math and since math is the language of physics, generally developers who work on physics engines are pretty good at approximating physics phenomena with computers. The complexity with fluid dynamics isn't that its hard to understand, its just really hard to accurately model and compute without finite modelling techniques. The cool this that developers do is simulate physics like air drag, etc. is they make it accurate enough to seem believable and then optimize it in clever ways so that the simulation does not utilize a lot of computer resources, some of these algorithms and methods are truly marvelous.
rather have this for a physics class, then a Zoom call. Just have a gmod server, where a prof can use it to display basic physic ideas (e.g. kinetics, projectile motion)
@@TheCabbageMan you mean programmers. not all developers do that.
@@MarioGotMilk-Remake that's why i said developers who work on physics engines
When you are real life Gordon Freeman developing a game about yourself.
This is a really good unique selling point just as half life 2 had the gravity gun, this could be used for a couple of puzzles between combat to break up the pacing a bit.
Now I want a wind zone weapon that spawns a temporary gust to blow enemies and items too heavy for the gravity gun or with with large wind resistance like a sail and to help the players jump long distances.
Super charged hair dryer?
Bass system. There is a prototype for flame extinguising
Maybe a puzzle that utilizes the magnus effect!
Just make it a giant palm leaf
yes! an Airblast would be a great idea for a new weapon
If this is the last we hear of Project Borealis it's a fitting thing to go out on. I revisit this video every once in a while just to marvel at how good their work on this system was. Its simultaneous capability to be awe inspiring, push game technology forward, and lend itself to interesting gameplay effects is so so quintessentially half life.
with you on that one
They are working on it
@@fireflythe7 Source? I really wanna know
@@tanybrachid they made some kind of teaser post on their twitter, so we may finally get an update soon
@@someguywithahat5690 Still the thing is that if it goes too slow then the base they started on gets outdated before it finishes, which makes them redo stuff they already done and eventually end up in an infinite loop unless technology stops for long enough for them to finish, which is unlikelly at the moment, and capitalism and investments bla bla bla you know the drill.
Мы всё ещё ждём и наедимся, удачи в разработке!
Project borealis is giving themselves such a high standart that i'm scared the game will be stuck in developpment hell
Do not worry. Valve have not joined the server :0 IF they do be very scared maggot ;)
Yeah it appears they are dumping a ton of time and effort into silly stuff like this. It's cool, but all that time and effort could be spent writing or making a better in game world.
@@rubiconnn Physics was one of the main Half Life2's selling points, it worked very well and people loved it. This is the same, but more.
@@Youuuuuu This is arguably worse. Now when you try to shoot objects at enemies with the gravity gun, it will wildly fly around and miss your target. It's not predictable making something that was already perfect worse. Whereas the time spent on shit like this could have spent on more important things.
Feature creep. Give it 4 years and the updates will stop. Valve dropping more VR shovelware is gonna put projects like these in a coffin.
It keeps slowly updating, and everytime there's an update it gets better and better
Hey, how about uploading a 10 second video to say "hello, we are still alive, we are still working on the project, COVID really affected our lives, see you all soon" ?
That's not how things work..
@@itscarlito y not?
The reason they don't do that maybe is about they just stopped working on the project. Sadness..
@@ravenlord- they are active on Twitter tho
@@ravenlord- Nope, on their reddit they have explained this. They are still alive.
I randomly remembered this project today
So glad you guys are innovating Half-Life to truly make this sequel your own. Take as long as it takes!
@Johnny Cage I mean Black Mesa takes like 15 years to develop until the final release.
@Johnny Cage It won't be a good game if it's made in a week. Stop asking for half-assed alpha garbage every week and actually be patient for good quality.
@@evolicious nice strawman. Less than 10 years and a week are nowhere near the same
Valve innovated Half life with Half Life Alyx by going VR.

How do you know this?
@@JackRabbittm since june they have started becoming active on socials again, and more recently last month they made a post to hire people.
its on their twitter if youre interested in seeing for yourself
Oh dude! Glad to hear that!)
glad to hear this wasn't abandoned
Me a year ago: Is someone making Half-Life EP 3?
Me a year later: Must have been the wind
it was, episode 3 is never coming
Just how Gaben prefers it, to be honest I don't even think they gave up, I heard Gaben showed up at their hq and john wick'd em all.
@@dirk1998 they gave up the episodic thing a long time ago and HL3 was going to be released in like 2010 but they weren't happy with it
maybe alyx was meant to slow the hype so people would know what to expect and not get angry when Half-Life 3 isn't the best keyboard and mouse game ever made
to be honest, I dont think half life 2 is all that awesome, I'm pretty sure I have more playtime in FEAR, so I'll be glad that they're just finishing the story, and HL3 is NOT going to be the best game ever made, it's just the most anticipated game of all time
@@felixftw4702 I liked hl2 to me it's just a well made classic, I loved the story, atmosphere, music and gameplay, can't say I've ever played fear, and I've had doubts about hl3 being good since every time an update was asked about Gaben kept pushing it off, to me the longer they wait the more they'd drastically change about what was loved about the game, and I think they didn't have an end story made for the franchise either, either way I don't think I'd mind a fan made idea of what hl3 could be, that's why I enjoyed the news about this project when it started.
@@felixftw4702 man i also love FEAR. One of , if not the best shooter ever made.
Wind effects: this blows!
Air resistance: What a drag!

@@jocosesonata damn you!
I have a feeling that this is gonna be the greatest fan game ever created...
Legitimately might be.
It's going to be a real Half-Life game! Not some VR bullshit that costs 500 dollars.
If they ever release it, it will be legendary
@@kamez1049 VR doesn't cost $500. It's also a medium that is lightyears better than a dumb flat square you sit in front of and push buttons.
It’ll be a real challenge to dethrone Black Mesa.
at this point i am just convinced that there is something cursed about the third part of half life that makes any development efforts just fail or grind to a halt
La vara es demasiado si quiera como para alcanzarla 😢
Its an SCP
Looks incredible! Do not forget that when explosions occur in buildings, a lot of dust rises. Everything is literally in the dust, it rises high and nothing is visible.
Me grabbing saw and lunching it on a zombie
Wind: Uno reverse
oh god pls dont exist
If they polish perfectly this feature there's gonna be no problem, since an object with such density and speed and also thrown at such short range from the objective (about 30 to 45 meters roughly) isn't gonna be strongly affected by the wind, this resulting in the trajectory of the object not being strongly modified by the air
Yes, I love lunching saws
the saw will be aerodynamic
@@pablomejia953 especially, if they mean the circular saw blades, being thrown parallel to the wind direction it would cut straight through the wind, and if the drag is realistic the teeth being angled the way they are there should be a slight rotation, making it even easier to move through the air
Gordon: *launches a saw blade with gravity gun*
Wind: "So you have chosen... death."
No bro, the saw blade has a centrifugal force and cuts through the wind due to its geometry. It will not be affected by wind as long as you throw it correctly.
@Guilherme Santos he is right though
@Guilherme Santos Nah
@Guilherme Santos he is right though
@Guilherme Santos You didn't need to say those mean words
I am afraid if the HL: Alyx and and HL 3 rumors demotivated the team. There have been no updates for 5 months.
Nah, they once get asked about the ending of hlalyx and they said it will not effect the project at all
Oh, and they are making the video about the next update on Twitter
I have high hopes for this. I hope this doesn't get cancelled, it might be the only way to end the Half-Life series
I dont think they've been demotivated, I think they've just hit a point in development where you can't show off something flashy. I imagine they're doing a lot of back end logic, optimisations, lighting, shaders, etc that probably arent all video worthy. I also imagine covid may have slowed them down a little.
@Eli Nelson True, cancelling this would feel like not knowing how the HL2 Beta felt
i really hope theyre still continuing development on this game, It looks and sounds like it has potential, even if i had to pay 10-20$ for this game, i would still play it
Still alive
@@georgedotexe i hope so
Only ten or twenty? I'd pay a heck of a lot more than that and would be happy to donate to the development :$
only $10-20? lol

it’ll still be out faster than yandere simulator
probably gonna get finished faster then yandare simulator

As a student in theoretical physics, it is really cool to see how you are able to compute such complex (not imaginary) mechanics in real-time. I'm as much hyped for Project Borealis as for HL Alyx. Keep up the good work.

The project is dead. They decided to start a huge undertaking, completely understaffed, completely underfunded, what in the world did they think was gonna happen? Unicorns weren't going to come out of the sky and go poof you have a game now. And with the release of Half Life Alyx, it changes the canon, therefor making Project Borealis's game, absolutely irrelevant.

these guys getting hired at valve for sure this is some AAA shit
I’ve never seen this in any game before. This is so damn good I’m so happy to be a fan of Half Life. The creators of Borealis are amazing, and I hope Valve notices y’all because I believe you deserve it and more. Keep up the amazing work.
I hope if they get noticed, they don't get attacked for copyright infringement or something.
@@scr4932 thankfully Valve isn't like Nintendo, they know what their community do to their games and embrace it.
Andrew Blaha half of their stuff came from mods, so I’m sure they’ll support this.
They literally released their own engine when they were using it and many games were created from mods to the games with that engine. That's what I like about Valve. They give freedom to the community and are more then happy that people are enjoying that freedom.
M3RS at least it ain’t Nintendo’s strict policy.
Please keep making these update videos! I found out about Project Borealis through this video, and they're incredibly interesting. Cant wait to see more of this!
Wake up, Project Borealis
Wake up and smell the ashes.
It died very badly because of half life alyx
@@siphobrisloks8133 Actually, a member of the team was asked in october 2020 if they had stopped working on project borealis, and he confirmed its still being developed.
They just don't post updates as often because they don't have a community manager anymore, and the development of the game itself has slowed down because of corona, and the fact that they're waiting for an upcoming update to the engine.
@@tanybrachid they should make it in SaUsE 2 but it's too late to use it now

They will still continue with the Epistle 3 story. That's what Project Borealis is about. The fact that HL Alyx exists won't stop them from making this.
I think that Alyx infact made a favor for PB. If Valve continued with Epistle 3 PB wouldn’t stand a chance against Valve. Still will play both if they are going to release and get a VR headset
The ending of HL:A is the ending of Epistle 3...so that story draft is kinda pointless
This game is gonna be pretty damn realistic in terms of mechanics I see.

Yes please. I'd love more updates on specific systems you're working on.
1:54 I tried reading some of that. That was a mistake, there's smoke coming out of my ears now.

Fascinating.
It's been too long since I've checked in on the channel. I figured y'all were plenty busy, and I was right. These wind and drag systems are gonna make Antarctica even more cinematic and unpredictable than it's been shown in the games I've played. I already came up with some 'scenes' in my head as I watched.
I wish you guys and gals more luck to go with what your patrons and fans have already given. Also, I'll try to tune in more frequently.

The ending of Half-Life: Alyx pretty much gives relevance to this project. It's going to take place in an alternate Parallel Universe/Timeline.
This is now the "prime" timeline
Nope, cause on the epistle 3 it explains much that alyx goes with gman leaving gordon alone at the borealis. Half life alyx happens after that moment and before half life 2. What im thinking is what is gonna happen after alyx's death.

Yep continue guys this project seems really good.
Guys you are amazing!
AMAZING :D IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
H A Y A T O
Absolutely phenomenal. Seriously. I hope you guys see this project to completion. Seriously why hasn't Valve pick up you guys yet to make this thing official? Probably still licking their wounds from Artifact or scared that they wouldn't be able to stuff in loot boxes, skins or hats.
Because they are amateur devs that are not even remotely within the pedigree of professional game developers? Also the fact that this game has nothing to do with Half Life, it's a fan made project based-on a conceptual HL3 story that all the writers decided against. It's a fan-made project and I'm sure Valve sees it as pretty cool, like they see Black Mesa.
FYI, Artificial was a huge success in terms of play-ability and concurrent players, but it had a very rocky start.
Valve is more concerned and focused on, oh IDONTKNOW, facilitating a multi-billion dollar industry of consumer modern VR that they invented themselves a decade ago. Along with leading the entire industry with open-source software for VR hardware and software development (OpenXR), engineering the best VR hardware on the market (Index), developing a game engine (source 2) that has more scaleability than anything we have ever seen, helping developers around the world with VR, while also developing the next Half Life in what will be the best VR game since and have two more flagship VR games in development as well.
I'd say you definitely have no clue what you are talking about, kid.
@@evolicious The average gamer could care less about any of that because they just want videogames waved in their faces. They also don't have vr, and don't want to spend money on it, whether out of doubt, refusal to budget, or because dad said no. Ironic considering they need/have a decent pc to even play this fan game. People have too much faith in this project because they're desperate to convince Valve not to make them spend money.
As for why Valve doesn't pick them up, it's obvious. No name devs, and a story that isn't Half Life. Mark Laidlaw might have wrote it after he left Valve, but he also returned to work on Alyx's story. Epistle 3 is about as canon as the HL2 beta story isn't. Speaking of Alyx, Valve doesn't need or want competition, especially from another original fan game after Hunt Down the Freeman.
Not to mention the fact that these guys are using UE4, the engine owned by Valve's biggest competitor right now. Valve has zero reason to back a UE4 game when they have Source 2.
absolutly incredible stuff
This is Really Neat, keep going
I’m kinda curious how this will affect gameplay. After going backs and replaying HL2 one of the best part was knowing that while the physics were great they were still simple enough that anything you grabbed with the gravity gun could pretty much be used just as effectively as a weapon
yeah, i can imagine shooting a barrel and it curveballing away from my target. maybe i could adjust, but it would be very annoying
systems should enhance your intent, not fight with it.
@@Coldsteak Not really how reality works though.
@@theoutergod8666 No one gives a shit if it's "realistic" or not. This is half life, Not red dead 2. If it is a detriment to gameplay than it isn't "realism", it's bad game design. The gravity gun is meant to be used strategically by being able to make pretty much anything it grabs a weapon. So when this "wind" system is implemented that skill is pretty much gone since 90% of the time the item would probably just curvball in the opposite direction, rendering the gravity gun almost useless.
I for one love grav-punting radiators at people and things too but unless they over exaggerate the forces beyond belief I don’t see much concern to come from aero effects since I wasn’t attacking people with them from far away to begin with. Unless you were trying to trick shot hitting someone with a barrel along the coast from a tower I don’t think you’ll be having many issues. A lot of the up close and personal gameplay will be the same when it comes to bashing crabs with crates and sawing things in half.
@@bioswalesbioswales3004 that being said though, air drag will make trickshotting someone along the coast with a barrel from a tower all the more impressive
2:06 "open source it?"
YES PLEASE!
I love how realistic the dev textures look
This is looking absolutely sick. And even with recent suggestions that HL3 might finally be on its way, and even if it comes out before you guys are done, I'll still be playing this. It deserves the respect of the fans :D
