[nal777]

you can read this in the valve bio page :

Greg Coomer - Product Design / Communications
Prior to joining Valve, Greg helped Microsoft design various software products. Before that, he worked with Nintendo, started and ran a user interface design company, and spent several years as a freelance product designer. Greg helped to name the company "Valve", and then led the first game project that Valve ever cancelled. His secret dream is to create a game called ’Akzidenz-Grotesk’. You know, for kids.

what did valve cancel ?

It never got that far. It was a game that never saw the light of day as far as I know.

It's never been said what the game was about.

Send an e-mail to [email protected]. He might tell you.

It's in Raising the Bar, a game called Prospero, apparently going to be massively multiplayer, with a "complicated mix of Valve and user-created content". Apparently, Friends was an idea that started with Prospero and found its way into Steam.

It was called Nuke Dukem 4D, although they couldn't work out how to manipulate so it was a fun game

Are you sure it wasn't Nuke Duke 4E?

I think Valve also canceled BlueShift source; they announced it at E3 2k4, but we haven't heard of ti since. And i hope we don't hear of it, they need to stay focused on Aftermath and HL3.

No more remakes is good for me. There are mod teams enoug to do that, but there is only one Valve

(I don't mean that they can only work on one project, but you get what I mean)
