What are they doing at Valve right now?

[Hired-Gun]

So what do you think that the guys and gals at Valve are doing right now.
Working on TF2,HL3,vacation or maybe they have a big party to celebrate the release of HL2.
I hope that they put in some work for TF2,so it will be out soon

 

[KagePrototype]

Taking time off. I would.

 

[PvtRyan]

I heard the majority of the team is on vacation till HL2 comes out.

 

[rrm]

they must be on vacation

and the day it went gold they surely got drunk, I would

 

[Goombatommy]

A vacation would be nice...

 

[poseyjmac]

i heard they are chained up to the walls by some pro-hl2mp extremists and are being forced to make a hl2 themed mp component or suffer lashings from a leather whip.

 

[zul]

Sleeping it off

 

[B-MAn]

yeh a vacation or maybe working on the december update for CSS...

 

[hi_ted]

Sprawled on a beach in Mexico with bottles of Tequila in their hands...

 

[KurtCobain]

I beleive they said that some of them were taking vacations untill couple of days b4 HL2 is released.

Kinky (10 char)

 

[jimbones]

getting lashed on the beach in mexico with a tequila bottle in their hand? that's hl3 right there...

 

[Octavian]

I remember on the Valve questions thread they said the day it came out they were having a big party. And there would be much tequila involved. Between now and then? Probably soaking up for the big party.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

the Hl2 guys are chillin probably, the CS:S guys are working on more content, the DOD:S guys are working on their port, and the TF2 team are either finished or still working on their game... at least i would imagine.

 

[Kamakiri]

Yeah Valve have heaps of employee's right? Alot of them can take time off but not all. I mean CS:S i still being updated so some must still be there

 

[nutcrackr]

Working on a HL2 expansion pack

 

[RooM]

they are counting the days like us ^^

 

[Arrowhead]

they actually said that they're now working on the SDK...

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Welll they aren't out in the open yet, so probably very few are taking a vacation.

I suspect that they are fixing CS:S (not the game as much, probably more the engine), continuing work on VAC 2.0, finishing SDK, DoD guys working on DoD:S, TF2 guys doin' their thing, but probably the artists are taking some time off (the ones not working on DoD:S and TF2)...

VALVE NEVER SLEEPS!

 

[MiccyNarc]

Getting some well earned rest

 

[Intel17]

I'd wager they're taking a break. I mean, when you create the best game ever twice in a row, you need a break!

 

[RooM]

you deserve it not really need ^^

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Holiday, then they'll go off into another 5 year hibernation/silence period working on their next big thing...team fortress 2.
