Tactical Intervention

Thats where I worked at in Korea for 2 months, its Source and as he mentioned in the interview, the core team is very small.

Why only for 2 months? It didn't work out or did you have to return?

Funding problems is what they told me, I ofcourse can never know for sure I might as well not be worth it :-)

Also updated my first post.

i know nothing of studio politics or economics, so could somebody tell me how it is, with the astronomical success of cs, that Le isn't able to finance his own project, and is relegated to moving in with his parents to save money?

That's a very very good question! I really didn't thought of that...

[dux]

He sold cs when he was young and only wanted to pay of his student debts. He never expected cs to be as popular as it has become. If he knew know he woulda have sold it for a lot more. So he says

Agreed. I mean CS was _the_ reason I got into online gaming, but I haven't played it in years because it just got too damn boring to play. I'm pretty much done with CS type online games. Mad props to Gooseman for doing his own thing and living the dream. Only reason I'd probably buy this is to support the Goose.

that makes sense, but what i really don't understand is how he goes on to valve and doesn't somehow reap some sort of ridiculous windfall from its ongoing success.

i would think that at the very least, he'd be able finance the project himself while living in his parents' basement.

If the deal he made with Valve didn't include any royalties, there is no reason why he would receive ongoing payments after he sold the rights to Valve. Also keep in mind paying the bills for the production of the game, even if the core team is very small and the costs for freelancers is low, is a burden over the development of months or even years. When I hear things like:

That doesn't sound to me like he cut a whole lot of money out of the deal.

There is no way that is HL1 bros. You're looking back at it with rose tinted glasses.

It's source.

It looks fine and the gameplay videos I saw on lord knows what asian site seemed pretty cool with great animations, but I'm fearing another Korean grind designed to make money in the vein of Soldierfront, Combat Arms, War Rock or what have you.

I know, I'm just saying the bros on page 1 thinking that it could in any way be HL1 are mistaken!

[D3ads]

It looks like a Source beta then, this can't be finished media surely...

[Pericolos0]

It's pretty abvious it's source, might look a bit oldschool because there's no normal mapping and dramatic lighting used. And they forgot to put AA on (STUPID!!!!). They even used the halflife2 blood decals
