The canceled Half-Life spinoff game – what could have been another episodic follow-up to Half-Life 2 – Ravenholm was just as good as you might have dreamed it to be, says the founder of its developer Arkane Studios Raphaël Colantonio, but it couldn't exist under Valve's high-speed business model.
"We needed another year – at least six months," Colantonio tells the Quad Damage Podcast in a new interview. "Valve had a very clear business plan for those Episodes. You know, they were trying to make the Episode business work, and they could not internally, because the costs were too high."
