Portal lead dev leaves Valve for Airtight Games

December 07, 2009 in Industry News comments 4

Kim Swift, who was the level designer-turned-lead dev on Valve's "Portal", was a superstar hired right out of college by the venerable developer. She has just wrapped up work on Left 4 Dead 2 and now has been hired away by Airtight Games, best known for their work on the upcoming "Dark Void".

    This can't be a good thing (from a big Valve fan's point of view).

      Yeah, it's almost like Itagaki leaving Team Ninja...well Itagaki was much more involved and known, but still, that's quite a loss. Wonder what'll happen with Portal 2. :S

        They will just use the blueprints left behind. They probably won't try anything radical now she's gone. Good news for Airtight Games I mean what a scoop they managed to get. Too bad It won't effect Dark Void which looks good but I'm still not convinced that It'll be great.
