    Marc Laidlaw talks more about his Half-Life 2: Episode Three ideas

    So effectively, what he was trying to show was development can start off simple and pure. A script, but basically everything can change and causes butterfly effects through the story and one "script" is never correct. Effectively you can take the comedy WhoDunnIt movie "Clue", where they have...

    Who's left or joined Valve in recent history

    The raw talent that has left valve, breaks my heart. it's like the core team, the heart of half life itself no longer exists at Valve HQ. It almost makes one hope that they band together to form their own studio specifically to make a new half life title as they couldn't get that done whilst...

    Steam Client Bug Displays Random User Details

    I'm surprised valvetime haven't linked valves OFFICIAL version of what happened, and not post just what SteamDB propossed happen. http://store.steampowered.com/news/19852/ The cacheing only happened because Valve had to call in back up support to handle a 2000% higher volume of Christams sales...

    Steam Workshop Coming to Left 4 Dead 2 on PC, Mac and Linux

    actually this is ONE deadline valve will keep i believe. All the new microsoft OS and hardware starts shipping at the end of october (26 october rings a bell, feel free to correct that). Valve need to make big picture mode and vanilla steam, "more valid" over whatever plans microsoft have in...

    German Consumer Agency Warns Valve Over Steam EULA

    problem 1) Steam being global has a little issue with buying cheap in one country and reselling cheaper n another. problem 2) Valve as we know are not in charge of the original pricing scheme either. problem 3) multi-pronged distribution legalise with each game publisher and with each game...

    ValveTime Video Review - Black Mesa

    I'm still grinding my way through early chapters. BMS actually IMPROVED some of the narrative and story telling, AND explaining the situations WAY better than HL1 ever did (I'm at the rocket test-labs and they did a nice bit of on-boarding there, reminding you of your objectives at the begining...

    Teaching With Portals - Valve teams up with schools

    Wait a second....some of those kids aren't Ten and up!! :D Saying that though, my lad uses peti and portal2 and he's not even 4 yet. Although he just spams the map with what he calls blue water, turrets, buttons and cubes. As a web developer I've always been one for the democratisation of...

    Stanley Parable: HD Remix announced [Updated]

    I loved the original. To me, I find the whole thing as a parable on game design it self. The world is nicely self contained and needs no more additional explanation - like a Bergman film. It puts down neatly a setup of status quo - and pushes us the player out into the game - like the first act...
