Valve Office Tour, Old and New

Postby Blink on Fri Apr 02, 2010 8:05 am

Over at Gameinformer they've posted a video where Valve show us round their current office. It's mainly aimed at the limitations of the current setup and how they've solved it at their new place.

If anything, you get to peak into some of the rooms where they're working on various Valve projects (including Portal 2).

The new canteen looks immense.

Give it a watch

I just checked that video yesterday when I found it from fpsbanana. Looks like a nice place to work, now back to work on portfolio to impress those people at Valve..

Gabe's office is pretty small, he seems quite a humble guy, aside from the epic knife collection.

I like the people at Valve... they all seem... real, I guess. I don't think they told people they were filming that day (judging by Chets reaction and that woman in the snack room)

I totally sure Valve made the schematics of the new offices in hammer, playtested it and then gave it to the engineers to build it...

I find the average enthusiast's interest in joining a game company grows negatively proportionally with the number of artists it employs.

I think we can infer that there weren't windows everywhere.
