According to the official Half-Life Audio Script which was penned by series writer Marc Laidlaw himself, this device in the corner of the Anomalous Materials lobby is a fax machine. Hey @valvesoftware, what is a "fax machine"? #halflife #halflifefacts #halflifefax
Hundreds of animations and models from the first Half-Life have leaked on Archive.org. A lot of unknown level features and scenes have been found, and legendary models, such as the Female Scientist, have leaked. Here's everything I learned. youtube.com/watch?v=aI4ssd…

Valve has ended its support of Steam on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 as of today. This is the first Windows system requirements shift since 1/1/19 when Windows XP and Windows Vista support was dropped.
Hey @valvesoftware, in Half-Life: Alyx, are the eyes on this billboard meant to represent the G-Man's ever-present vigilance, an omnipresent observer to all that occurs, or were you just reusing his model on the texture here to save time on assets/resources/etc? #halflife #guhman
Speaking of Half-Life art, one of my favorite pieces is this painting called Sleeping Dogs by Valve's Eric Kirchmer. However, it hasn't been seen since 2012. Hey @valvesoftware, do you still have Eric Kirchmer's Dog painting? And can I have it? For free? #halflife #dog

This is the last full month that Valve will be supporting Steam on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Any future game updates that move their minimum Steam client version past the last one available for 7/8.1 will be unplayable unless you upgrade Windows. help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4…

Happy Birthday to the voice of the Half-Life scientists & Dr. Kleiner Harry S. Robins, who just turned 73 🎂 It was a huge honour to have you star in our recent Half-Life 25th anniversary minigame. Your voice still sounds not a day older than 1998!

While working on Dota 2 in 2012, several engineers at Valve joined the team to help. I was working on something that used a lot of Window's API calls and I was grumpy and said "ugh Windows API sucks." One of the engineers said, "You know, I wrote USER.DLL, I was 19 at the time."
After Half-Life came out (and I got to play it too!), Valve reached out to me to port it to Linux since I was the "Linux guy" at id. They were working on getting multiplayer out and wanted support for a Linux dedicated server.
For its 25th anniversary we added seven multiplayer maps to Half-Life, including four brand new ones: Contamination, Pool Party, Disposal, and Rocket Frenzy. The game's been updated with Steam Networking support, so jumping on a server this weekend is easier than it's ever been.
Thank you so much Valve. It means alot
The Half-Life 25th Anniversary Update brings back a bunch of long-lost content, including the "Half-Life: Uplink" standalone demo, launch day main menu, and old deathmatch maps created by the original team, plus brand new deathmatch maps made by current Valve level designers.
I visited Valve in early 1998 to help them integrate QuakeWorld's multiplayer into Half-Life. It was amazing to meet the team then to see what they shipped later that year. Half-Life is an incredible game made by an amazing team. Happy Anniversary Half-Life!
Half-Life turns 25 this weekend, and we're pushing a big update to bring back some of that 1998 feeling with restored original launch day content, brand new multiplayer maps, a look behind the scenes with the original development team, and more: half-life.com/halflife25

11 years this week... I started at Valve in October 2012. These were the most popular games on Steam the week that I started working on the platform: store.steampowered.com/charts/topsell…
10 years at Valve. Whoa, a decade. When I started, Steam Greenlight was a few months old. I got to work with a bunch of the first games we greenlit and I'm still in touch with many of those folks today. Hi @Olifiers ! Hi @CellarDoorGames ! Hi @theindiestone !
c.marti just found that a shitton of otherwise unseen or only-seen-at-talks concept art for tf2 was just... *on* the tf2 wiki. Someone asked Jeff Ballinger for some concept art to upload to the wiki and he just gave it to them.
This is one of my absolute favorite things to have made at Valve. This came from a very small portion of the game team realizing that Steam let us retcon the previous title in a way that wasn't possible previously. It all grew organically out of that. youtube.com/watch?v=rXQmYK…
I don't think I ever posted these, but the original plan for Alyx's Dog upgrade sketches was that she had done them when she was a young teen. They felt just a liiiittle too goofy in context so we ditched it, but I loved getting to make some fake middle school art:
