Just got fired from my job as a graphics artist from valve. I

Also, please keep one question per post.

This is my tripcode

How do you take your coffee?

What do you think of gamergate?

why were you fired?

Is it even close to being done? Have they written the story for it? Any speculation on a release date? Why as it taken them so fucking long to make a sequel?

Were you in charge of level 3?

What did you get to draw

>>267810517
who is your favourite teenage mutant ninja turtles ?

Any hot girls at your office?

Wanna have a beer with me?

Was your workplace anything like Jonestown?

Valve employees get badges?

who is your cable provider?

What is your name>

Why is seattle so shitty?

Who are the Patriots?

How difficult is it to get a job in the industry as an artist? Any suggestions or advice for an artist?

Just saying you were fired is a lot of information to get to your identity.

Either you won't mention any information that will jeopardize you and bring you to a lawsuit or, more likely, you're a big liar.

Then again if you were fired give us proof you worked for them?

I understood that reference

There are a million ways to prove you were at Valve. You could at least offer something.

OP is some kid who wants to roleplay for an hour. Respond if you want, just don't be gullible enough to believe this.

>>267810517
How big dick Gabe has?

>implying there is a half-life 3

>>267810994
wow your are so funny xddddddddddddddddddd nice meme

I know he was a Valve employee because he takes a fucking eternity to do anything.

Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz?

Why did you get yourself fired? Now Half-Life 3 will take that much longer to ever exist.

>Valve-jockeys pretending to be employees to keep the hope alive for HL3

A new low.

>>267811117
>implying there isn't

>>267810517
OP got fired because the game got cancelled.

>>267810517
Show a picture of your paystub with your info blacked out.

Oh you can't?

Because you're a liar?

Ok then

>>267810517

Op is a bullshitter or not replying because Valve's hit men are just that good

How far along is Half-life 3?

>>267810517
Bullshit. You can post your CV, or your LinkedIn profile

We are supprisngly far into development. Hoping to shoot for a 2017-2018 release date. With an announcement in 2015. Honestly the story was kind of writen as the game progresseed in development. Taking so long due to having to switch engines twice and gabe thinking its a good idea to wait it out to build up hype

>>267810690
nope

>>267810701
I was in charge of quite a few of the enemies and level designs. The bullsquid will be returning as a regular enemy among other hl1 creatures.

It's amazing that I still have paystubs from when I worked at Best Buy when I was 16 and you don't have anything to commemorate working for one of the biggest and most influential video game companies on one of the most influential and hyped games of all time

Funny how that works

Yeah yeah, that's 2 questions, hurrrr. Whatever, cuntflap.

>>267811403
Will this game be as influential as hl1 and 2? Or is the hype just too strong.

>>267811438
Yea that is funny.

>>267811513
Gabe actually has way more influence then a lot of people assume

>>267811702
I think what made HL2 so influential was the source engine. This time around, source 2 won't launch with HL3, so the influence won't be as obvious. I think its there though.

>>267811803
See above. Shooting for 2017 or early 2018

>>267811403
Will there be anything that links Portal and Half-Life even more?

>2017-2018

>literally 10+ years later

This game is bound to fail

>>267810613
Do you have a single fact to back that up?

How come there was concept of episode 3?
When did you start calling it Half Life 3?

>>267812117
Of course he doesn't, even though there's plenty of ways for him to prove he worked at valve.

>>267812117
Maybe we should try some word association

>>267811991
There will be huge influences by portal on the Borealis levels. Not to the point of finding a portal gun, as some people hoped, but things like finding scrapped portal tech and even a couple unplayable test chambers that found their way onto the ship.

>>267812129
Pretty much as soon as we decided that game "episodes" were a bad idea. Even from the start, we knew this was going to be a full game, unlike episode 1 and 2, but it just wasn't until we scrapped the episode idea until we settled with "Half Life 3"

>>267812387
Did you get any cool exclusive memorabilia while working there?

>>267812387
Draw a quick sketch right now to prove your skill

More then likely. That is kind of hard to say because there were talks of letting another company make a sort of sequel to Opposing Force. Just talk though. We never really got farther then that.

Fag, you're free to work on any project you want.Why would you need a badge u fucking moron

so where exactly did the game go mechanically or otherwise that's warranted a fucking 7 year wait without a blip of solid information?

>>267811403

>2017-2018

So, it's the new Duke Nukem Forever. There is literally zero hope for this. It could be a great game but it cannot live up to the hype now. it's due to fail.

Thanks bb

>>267813061
As I said earlier, we changed the engine 2 different times. Other then that it was just all hype buildup and some of the higher ups wanting to show the game in an almost finished state when it was finally revealed

>>267812909
Nice drawing faggot. Now fuck off and go pretend somewhere else.

Why did you get fired?

Don't you keep any sketche's just to prove it?
Most people here will belive without proof anyway

>>267813470
Source, Source 2, and then we totally scrapped Source 2 and rebuilt it from the ground up. Its a totally different engine from what it originally was.

Is it trues that there's a button in Gaben's office that restarts the whole process everytime someone leaks a date or info like you? If you are not lying does this mean Gaben pulled the plug and production started all over again?

Is there a Blue Shift 2 / Opposing Force 2 ? [/spoiler}

I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't doubt it.
I think as long as no solid evidence is posted, what I say here shouldn't really matter.

>>267813612
As I said earlier, an Opposing Force 2 was talked about, but it didn't get any farther then that yet.

>>267810517
what the fuck are the combines supposed to be anyway.

>>267813881
What does Gabe think about HL? I mean does he have affection for it , like his child or is fucking tired of every single person on the world expecting just one thing from him and most of the time discarding everything else he does?

>>267813605
>>267811909
Well hello inconsistency
>I think what made HL2 so influential was the source engine. This time around, source 2 won't launch with HL3, so the influence won't be as obvious.
>Source, Source 2, and then we totally scrapped Source 2 and rebuilt it from the ground up.

>>267814293
OF COURSE ITS FAKE YOU DUMB SHIT.

Anyone who took this with even a .01% chance of being real is just a fucking dumb child.

>>267810517
OP is lying, I am the graphics artist who was fired from Valve's HL3 team today. I also have absolutely no proof

>>267810517
Why were you fired?

>>267814001
Multi-universal force that is pretty much able to take over any world they please. I may be exaggerating a tad, but thats kinda what they are supposed to be. If you are looking for a more literal answer, then they are aliens who are able to change their appearance to help them adapt to certain planets

>>267814059
When I see him talking about it, he seems to be pretty happy with it. I'm sure hes a bit sick of it though. I would be.

>>267814293
source 2 was made twice. HL3 won't launch with the newer source 2, but it will be on it.

Half-Life 1 and 2 arguably changed FPS(for better or worse, subjective), what does Half-Life 3 change?

>>267814624
>two source 2 engines

>>267814631
Honestly, not much. It does feel like the "next step" in gaming, but its kinda tough to see why. Everything about it has an intense "next gen" feel. More then any game I have seen released sense the new consoles came out.

>>267814837
As said before, we had to rebuild it from the ground up.

>>267814631
dlc texture packs for the entire game including ultra hi rez textures for the 'master race' and theme changing packs with pandering to shitty meme crowds like mlp or dota2.

>>267814631
>what does Half-life 3 change?

Gabe's fridge contents

>>267814837
Maybe he meant like how there are several different versions of Source, like how the engine kept getting updated.

Then why use the old Source 2 engine for Dota 2?

Is it called Half Life 3 or Half Life 2 : Episode Three

Wouldn't calling it Half Life 3 be wrong , since the HL2 arc didn't end and gordon wasn't put into stasis again?

>>267815196
I wasn't one of the people working on it, but from what I understand everyone was just generally unhappy with it and realized it could have been much better then it was. What I had saw of it was very underwhelming

>>267815263
We arn't. Thats the new source 2 engine. The first one was only being worked on for a little while and was far before source 2 was even talked about to a serious degree

>>267815401
Half Life 3. Possibly. I mean, who said an arch has to start and end with stasis?

>>267811403
>gabe thinking its a good idea to wait it out to build up hype
of course

where does the story pick up?

>>267815563

Do you have any specific details at all you could show us that would even slightly support your claim to have worked at Valve? Even a photo of you at Valve with the face blacked out?

>>267815563
Well , half life's end , and HL2 beggining made it pretty clear that the end and started was marked when Gordon fell into stasis , and got woken up by the G-man

By the way : Will we get to know more about G-man? About his employers?

>>267815404
>we're not allowed to play along even if we know it's fake

>>267815563
So if HL3 isn't shipping with Source 2, what is? L4D3?

>>267815817

this guys a phony. a big fat phoney.

Also "half life epsode 1 is the first part on a trilogy of games that expando hl2 world"

>>267814624
>aliens who are able to change their appearance
Lel, combine don't change appearance, they enslave local races who then become part of the combine.
Best guess is that the advisors are the real/original combine race. If not that, then they are the current head honchos for all operations.

>>267814907
>More then any game I have seen released sense the new consoles
What is your first language?

>>267815196
>why
this is fucking valve we're talking about

>>267812909
Why would the Borealis even have test chambers in it?

>>267815791
Starts with a G-man monologue and picks up on the helicopter at the end of Episode 2.

>>267815839
Honestly a lot of stuff about the Gman is pretty much left open for interperation. His "employers" are shown as black figures and its IMPLIED at points that he is a future Gordon. Very subtly implied.

>>267815919
Yes. Left for dead 3 and a remake of Left for dead 2

>>267816061
I was more refering to the Combine Soldiers. The advisors are static in appearance I suppose.

>>267816198

>>267816439

>>267816198
well, he is an artist, not a writer

>>267815563
>We arn't. Thats the new source 2 engine
inconsistency with your earlier post where you said that Source 2 was rebuilt from ground up
in case you missed it out, dota 2 was SOFT-ported to Source 2, the same way HL2 was soft-ported to Orange Box branch of engine
if engine was built from ground up, they would change a lot more than what we saw in dota 2

>>267816605

HEY MAN

>>267815817

THIS

>>267811403
>People are eating this up

>>267816690
It was rebuilt from the ground up before they ported dota 2. FAR before they ported Dota 2

>>267816690
I'm sure valve wouldn't want to reveal too many new features of Source 2. They are very secretive in how they approach and reveal things.

it's one thing to refuse posting proof that could jeopardize your anonymity in any way, but no sane person would refuse to post ANY sort of proof as to who they are, just for the fuck of it. There are a million things you could do to help justify the fact that you are who you say you are, one of the easy ones being drawing, or showing an email from Gabe or some shit. You could take a screenshot of an email, Linkedin profile, or a folder of low quality rejected concept art. Stop role playing, or at least take that shit back to /x/ fag. Or at least conjure up some convincing fake evidence. It's one thing to roleplay, but you're roleplaying badly.

>>>/b/

>>267816810
confirmed for not knowing how the fuck source engine works, if it was build from ground up, it would have a gap similar to GoldSRC and Source, you can soft-port a fucking game between two completely different engines, Dota 2 atm works on its own custom Source 2, you know, slightly modified Source engine that we could already see in action when messing around with fucking Alien Swarm when it came out

>>267816839
probably not, but you can check features yourself in dota 2 authoring tools, many new features are noticeable straight away, such as better hammer editor, 9/10 bsp tools, metric units, and much bigger limits on map sizes and few other things

>>267817341
There are quite a few settings. Most of which I am very excited about. Very short segment in City 17, Xen, short segments in other "cities" such as City 12, The Borealis, and an abandoned Black Mesa in ruins.

>>267817643
Other places too, but most of which are pretty veuge to talk about. Such as a huge icey level

there is absolutely no reason to get back to city 17 and we see it being fucked completely in ep1 and 2, so no

also, black mesa is in USA, City 17 is somewhere in eastern europe, or old commie block in general, again, no fucking reason to go back to a fucking crater somewhere in usa

If you are really from valve then bullet point all the levels you worked on, what happens in them and what happens in the story.

Yo dog, what's taking so long?

>>267811909
>then
Sure, a valve employee doesn't know the difference between THEN and THAN.
Die in a fire.

>>267818549
You are forgetting that 90 percent of Black Mesa is underground.

I didn't write the game, I just drew the pictures.

City 17s location is never revealed. And even if it was, traveling long distances is something that shouldn't really come as a shock. Especially sense a main aspect of the game is portals

How did Dr. Kleiner, Eli, Mossman and Breen get from the American desert to eastern Europe?

hey OP test time. Hows Workshop stuff work? HL3 going to have Workshop support I'm sure.

Also super test time, what's laidlaw been up to?

Even if you fired, you are still under an NDA. You can and will get sued by providing this information.

How much can you bench press?

>>267818856
>90% of black mesa is underground
so is the nuke
so are many explosives in the facility
oh and in case you were blind when playing it, didnt you notice that there is not that much shit on lower levels?

>City 17s location is never revealed.
you claim that you have worked as an artist there and you dont know shit about one of locations? you know, a fucked up place that would need concept art? oh and if there is anything left in that city, its probably dead, there is absolutely no reason to return there

and dont go with this portal bullshit, even if gordon gets to borealis to get some tech to teleport somewhere, it will be a one-way trip, so teleporting to a place like black mesa or c17 means he aint coming back from there with a teleporter, last time we have seen these, they are not exactly portable

>>267819042
From what I have seen, it actually won't have support at initial launch. If it does, I would expect there to be a choice to play the "modded" version when you start up the game. A version that supports Workshop stuff.

>>267818969
