Collab only? Hmm, wonder if that means we can just use someone elses concept.

It's probably to ensure that people don't spend time when the competition has started trying to find a partner and instead spend that time working, that way no time is lost.

Hard to partner up if you don't know what the competition is

Not really, I only see two reasons to team up with someone. To make up for your own weaknesses or to speed it up. If you teamed up with someone to speed up the process and it turns out its a character contest you can just split up.

Maybe its a environment/character artist team up?

Hey guys.





Half-Life 3.

Swizzle

Valve's ambitions for player-sourced game content are coming to fruition.

bounchfx

Polycount responsible for HL3 confirmed? It was us all along!?









METAL GEAR??

...it's probably the only way they'd ever get the game out of the gate.

GrevSev

That fine image of pixels makes me wonder where the words "Escaped", "Loose" and "teamwork" fit in.

Shiv

Gah, why both of these comps start during my busy times :c

Trying my best to finish my character before this starts! Will be fun to see loads of people working on this comp in Hangouts.

Nope, just you.

turns out there's no money budgeted for anything else! Just you, and some cocaine. It'll be a wild ride, man.

Kurt Russell Fan Club

Oh god I found out what it is. You won't look at ducks the same way again.

Autocon

Hopefully having it right before "next gen system e3" wont cut out a lot of people who will be crunching on making e3 deadlines from the contest. I want to see a ton of people compete!

So we get 2 updates in one day, then don't hear anything else for 2 days?



(here's the latest teaser image)

Is this thing gonna involve hot collabs?

Tekoppar

Pff, easy one. It's a dude with fire in his eyes wielding a sword.

Since it's Adam who's posted this I'm thinking environments or something.

Need more proof of half life 3?

In the word Assassin's there are five S's
In the word Creed there are two E's

5-2 = 3

HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.

Tekoppar

You forgot that there are 3 ships, and that the wave to the left that form a 3. The skies form a 3 in the top right corner. There are only 3 flags.

In two days the date will be, 03-03-03 and at 03:03 the skies will split and Gaben will finally show us the finale.

Doesn't look like boats to me, more like snowy ground with a fire.

You magnificent bastards. So about this unannounced prize from Valve is it access to a beta version of Half-Life 3?!

Also, found this in the escape definition link, a secret message perhaps?
"12. escape valve , Also called: escape cock a valve that releases air, steam, etc, above a certain pressure; relief valve or safety valve"

Valve is giving away their Steam Box to the winners?
