Stars of Blood - Openworld Space Game (Scrapped Valve IP)

[SaberVS7]

Going to be honest, the character concept are in the video looks almost... Satirical in some strange way. They just look so fucked up really.

[Banned?]

Is this real? Seriously?

I need confirmation or else this erection is going to waste.

[kahgarak]

I'm gonna take this with a whole container of salt.

But IF this is true.

YES

YES

Even better if we'd be able to make custom maps for it, seperate from the vast open world.

[Whatsinaname]

Not even going to consider getting excited about this until it's confirmed by a reliable source.

from the movie "splice" it says it right there

[Arvuti]

If this is true, then I really hope they will use a new engine for this. I really doubt source could handle something like this.

[QUOTE=SnowCanary;38001954]Any source? Also love the name, reminds me of Spirit Breaker.[/QUOTE]

Spirit Breaker's name (Barathrum) is Latin for 'underworld', so that's why the names are the same.

But I don't understand why a game about space has 'underworld' in the title, isn't space the other way?

[testinglol]

hehe finally.

they built a special star system tool for this game. it's amazing. it's true by the way. i saw stuff about this in valve games a lot.

Well, to be fair, space is cold, inky nothingness with little dots of light. I'd imagine if someone got stuck there without any context of what space actually is, they'd probably think it was the underworld. Assuming they could survive, I mean.

Buut I may be applying too much literal to the metaphorical.

That looks somewhat Combine-related imo

[Divaya]

Not entirely sure what to think of this tbh, I'll be cautiously curious though.

It is Valve after all. Knowing their work and seeing the massive differences between stuff like the HL2 and TF2 alphas and the final products, I wouldn't be surprised if the first in-game look didn't look a thing like the concept art.

[Apocalypsewaffle]

An open world space game made by Valve

My dick just exploded at the mere thought of such a thing possibly existing in the future

[Glitchvid]

Maybe this is the reason they started "Source 2"?
I hope so, and I hope this gets actually announced, it looks sexy, and will be awesome to see what tech they bring.

Hm. New Source iteration. Expanded map limits and seamless, on-the-go map loading perhaps? They would either make everything tiny as hell to make it fit in Hammer (unlikely), add loading screens (possible but god I hope not, or at least not too many), or add O-T-G loading, Halo style, which is really great.

Was it really so much more effort to type out 'on-the-go'?

[RoloPogo]

A freelancer style game by valve?
What could anyone possibly dislike about this?

[Marlamin]

Reminds me of these.

I was in a hurry, mate.

Anyway, if this is legit, I'm hoping custom maps seperate from the main open world (maybe even a possibility to create entire custom galaxies?) will be supported.

Maybe a multiplayer space dogfight mode too, with one player on each team that serves as commander (like in BF2142) and controls the larger capital ships while the others dogfight in starfighters?

valve gotta say something

i can't wait for my hopes and dreams to be crushed effortlessly tomorrow.

Worst case scenario, this was another one of their experiments and has since been canceled.

[testinglol]

i will try getting some info when i get home im sure there were a file like tools/starsystem.pyy

[FluD]

just complete Dishonored feel Deja Vu
I mean peoples in pic look familiar

[JustExtreme]

This appeals to me greatly. I like the concept of being able to walk around your ships as well as pilot them.

First thing that came to my mind was a flying citadel.

OP's images are all from Peter König's [url=http://www.peterhkonig.com/#/]website[/url], Peter left Valve earlier this year. Here are some more photos dating from 2008 to 2012.

What are some of the games you’ve worked on for VALVe?

[B]Peter König[/b]: I’ve only been here two and a half years, but so far I’ve worked on Left 4 Dead 2, a bit on Portal 2, and some other projects I can’t mention yet. All really fun stuff.

Peter König responded to an email of mine (smash) about the mysterious concept art that was found on Valve's wall in early 2011, and I would like to share it. I asked him if that art was for practice or production, and this was what he said:

"Some of it is mine, not all. Can't comment on it either way.... Some of it is on my site now, so it can't be toooo sensitive, now can it?"

The last one looks a lot like the Consul from HL2 Beta, apart from the face tattoos and headplate.

Well, I'm psyched.
