They were included in the SDK by mistake." 2007 A Valve representative responds: "old leftover stuff that aren't used, and no longer even exist.

And so Episode Three is sort of this victim of our willingness to experiment but as soon as we have stuff that we’re ready to talk about, we will." 2008Ī Steam user discovers an entry in the Source Software Development Kit called sourcesdk.gcf/src_mod/orangebox/game/server/episodic/Episode3. Compare that today where we’re doing this podcast on a Friday and I assume that within a fairly short period of time it’s going to be out to a whole bunch of people who can then ask me a bunch of questions or follow-up questions or ask you follow-up questions so there’s this big difference between this old method where everybody knew exactly the right way to release their projects and today we’re sort of wanting to make a bunch of experiments and try a bunch of things out, some of which will work well for people and for us and some of which won’t. Every couple of years you do a big release and the reason that you do it is that there’s a bunch of friction associated with doing one of those releases, you know, you’ve got to get advertising and marketing and the retail and it’s four months between doing an interview with a publication and having it appear in print. Up until the emergence of the internet, release schedules were pretty much the same for every product and every publisher. And it really is a consequence of these different sorts of rhythms to release schedules which we’re trying out. It’s not like we decided we released too much information, it’s just that if we had information that we were in a position to deliver to people we would and right now we don’t have anything to say about it. "Right now, the Half-Life 2 Episodes themselves are on a third sort of ‘rhythm’ and, you know, we think it makes sense for the product and for what we’re trying to do there and the reason we’re not talking about it is mainly we don’t have anything to say. In an interview with the Steamcast Podcast, Gabe Newell states: Image Above Cropped From Steam User-Uploaded Image Within the Software Development Kit for Valve's Alien Swarm, users find several references to Episode 3 AI-assistance nodes for an entity called Blob Brain. Produced by Ted Backman, Jeremy Bennett, and Tristan Reidford, the drawing is titled "Advisor". The art is submitted to gaming art collection site. But that doesn't necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean."Ī 2008-era piece of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 concept art comes to the attention of the gaming press. "But you know if you want to do another Half-Life game and you want to ignore everything we've learned in shipping Portal 2 and in shipping all the updates on the multiplayer side, that seems like a bad choice," Newell continued. Asked whether or not fans will ever see a proper Half-Life 3, Newell replied: "The only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why. This comes on the heels of a confusing quote dropped by Valve's Gabe Newell in an March podcast interview with Geoff Knightley.

Valve reportedly included a strange file called "hl3.txt" in an October 9 Dota 2 update alongside and a series of other out-of-place text files that detail the existence of quests, VR support, NPC squads and more. Since then, rumors have swirled about the project's direction, and when, if ever, it will appear.
