The creator of the insanely popular MINERVA: Metastasis mod for Half-Life 2 was hired at Valve!
I'll be starting at a certain Valve Corporation at the beginning of October.Look for the name Adam Foster to appear somewhere amongst the credits for Episode 3 when it releases in the future. Congratulations are certainly in order for him!
What does this mean for MINERVA? Right now, I don't know - I'll initially be working on Valve's own Episode Three, but after that, who knows? I seriously suspect this isn't the end for this particular chain of experiments in designing single-player Half-Life 2 maps, all conducted for fun in my spare time.
