Spitcodfry's trip to valve

[otomo]

yea zeoviz i agree valve and blizzard are probably my favorite companies. Valve more so i think tho haha

 

[otomo]

you describe the valve in alittle more detail for us?

 

[spitcodfry]

One thing I notice now, looking back on the pics, is that the game 'Gunman Chronicles' was on one of their shelves in the foyer area. Did Valve develop this? I've heard of the game, but never knew they had anything to do with it.

 

[Ghost Freeman]

Rewolf did.

It went retail though.

It will be availible on Steam.

Gunman Chronicles uses the HL engine.

Gunman Chronicles was similar to day of defeat, blue shift, etc. It was developed in house at valve I believe.

Sure. It was situated in the middle of the room. It stood about waist height and was brown in color. The valve wheel was probably a foot in diameter, if not more. The platform is was set upon was cone-shaped, with a smoothed over surface for the valve to go into. The platform looked like it was made out of concrete.

From what I heard, the game didn't do so well tho.

[LiLaZnBoYcL]

so wheres valve's company located at?

 

[otomo]

this office sounds really nice anyone know if they have always been in this office or did they move there after success of HL?

 

[Chris D]

Rewolf were making it as a TC, then Valve officially supported them and released it with them as a full retail product.

Totally wrong.

None of those were developed inhouse. Blue Shift was developed by Gearbox Software. Gunman Chronicles and Day of Defeat both started out as mods that later got a retail release.
