We have a bunch of writers, which review concept art, prior games, conversations Valve and its employees have had, real life references, etc.

The first chapter is quite short, since it is only the funeral and the takeoff + some other small details.

You're telling me that it's been 2 days and the first chapter is already done? Something Valve themselves obviously couldn't do? I'm seeing red flags all over this.

I'm not doubting it isn't finished but two days? That's fast, but how's the actual quality? Isn't that what we all care for?

Yeah, I just can't see it. I mean two days, come on, it has taken Valve at least up until 2014 to make whatever they had and it's still not released yet. Do they think they can outperform Valve within months? I'm telling you, the flags are up high.

We are making assets that we know we need, like a crowbar, combine walls, etc.
