Yesterday Lead Writer Half-Life Mark Laidlaw spoke to the publication Rock Paper Shotgun. In it, the developer stated that he never understood why people call him the author of the game. According to Laidlaw, he joined the team when the title was starting to take shape.
I saw the game world that they were working on, and I was sure that it was the result of a collective vision. That’s why I always get weird feelings when people try to credit me with the game. When I joined the team, the development of Half-Life was already in full swing.
Mark Laidlaw was one of the key writers Half-Lifehaving worked on the plot of the games in the series up to Half Life 2: Episode 3. Unfortunately, the third episode of the cult title was never released, although some fans still believe that Valve can still return to its development.
This year the original Half-Life turns 25 years old. Despite the age of the shooter, fans still do not lose interest in it. For example, a Half-Life: Ray Traced mod was recently released for the game, adding RTX effects.
