Valve happy to axe whole games
News - Developer reveals approach to game-making
Chatting at the Penny Arcade Expo, Valve developer Chet Faliszek has said that the firm has "thrown out entire games", such is their commitment to quality.
"We've thrown out entire games.You think something's gonna work and... [developers] talk about this giant design document and it's just like we're so much more iterative," he said, speaking at the big US games show.
"We have these ideas we want to express [and] the easiest way to test those is get them in the game as soon as you can and then have someone not on the team play it. All through theLeft 4 Dead process, all through theLeft 4 Dead 2 process we've had outside players come in and play the game and give us feedback."
We'll have more from Valve soon. Thanks TVGB.
