many former valve employees have directly stated that the workers coop where the employees have the final say in what they work on was always a bunch of horseshit that was just passed around to try to attract talent
Many former employees have also stated the opposite of that. The work culture there is unlikely to be flawless but following up on one of the more vocal people complaining about their time at Valve on twitter revealed them to be an a bit of an egoist and precisely the kind of person who wouldn't fit in a collaborative workspace.

it was a really fun/interesting stream, having a few people who really like puggsy show up was a little funny. i think the only thing we didn't show off was the game over screen, which was unique to this version (though it resembles the md/gen one)

it'll be interesting to see who takes interest in this, news-wise. i'm kind of expecting that it gets zero attention like most protos, but mr. burton's involvement might make more of a stir


on the bright side only like three people whined about not getting the rom immediately. pretty nice

Tbh I can see why that Ravenholm spinoff was shut down. The zombie enemies look very dull.

Well ain't that precious?

That NoClip video about the history of Arkane shows gameplay footage of LMNO. I think I probably would have liked to play it if had actually come out. I wonder if the game used discrete hand-chosen moments to influence your relationship with the alien or if they happened dynamically during the gameplay. If it was the latter, I could see it being annoying to play, so maybe that was why it was cancelled.

I think that that video, or another interview possibly, discusses how they simply ran out of funding for it.

That's feasible if they want to make it easily buildable/playable on modern systems. I just hope they were able to cover their tracks well.

Loving how you can carry every weapon in the game in that version, like the older games, solidifying that they really did dumb down the final version with the two weapon limit to conform to halo or whatever else was popular at the time.

Yup. They also added sprinting so Duke could only run a few yards before getting winded.

It's also very funny because the final game has an epic burn against Halo for having power armor and like you can't make fun of a game you're trying to conform to

It looks so good. Also the attention to detail thing - Duke on the bike realistically using the clutch to shift gears, grabbing the front brake, the animated tachometer, the dangling of his keys. Good stuff

The dialogue has somehow aged worse than anything in Duke 3D. Sub Family Guy at its worst level humor.

I got as far as the second stage before I gave up.

The utterly terrible attempts at misanthropic humor didn't drive me away, it was the sheer godawful gameplay where I was supposed to roll some thing into another thing or whatever. I guess I pushed it in the wrong direction and when I realized it I just noped out.

It's a bold move to start your game with an hour of characters in-game telling Duke how cool he is when the character hasn't been legitimately cool in 15 years.

DNF and Duke's subsequent addition to Bulletstorm had the horrible feeling that someone at Gearbox genuinely thought Duke was still cool and relevant.

Jokatgulm is tedium.

At least the DLC was an improvement , since it only committed about half the possible mistakes rather than all of them like the main game. It even has jokes that reach the lofty heights of "mildly amusing"

Such graceful, delicate creatures.
So back in 1986, there was official art of a female Link. There was some speculation/theories that you would have been able to choose between male or female at some point in development because of that.

In reality, the artist just had 8-bit art and vague descriptions to work from, and I guess decided Link looked like a girl (decades before Gerudo Link).

But the art recently resurfaced, so here it is.

Would be much more interesting games if Link was a girl. As a non Zelda fan, those games give me extremely rapey and predatorial vibes with this child running around

Huh. I literally just ordered a copy of that book last week.

To clear up some details, the strategy guides and magazine articles are a weird mixed bag of promo art from the publisher mixed in with stuff done by people at the book publisher. You get a lot of interestingly off model stuff in them (which is part of why I get them). The days before publishers had this stuff locked down were crazy.

Huh, I wonder if the female Link art was what inspired them to give Link his pink/purple hair in A Link to the Past.
