Making Of Half-Life 2 Book Interview
In addition to a strategy guide for Half-Life 2 and a planned mod making book, Prima Games will also release a book that details the making of Valve Software’s long awaited first person shooter sequel. Not only will the book chronicle the making of the game itself but the making of book will also deal with the history of Valve Software itself and its previous games and mods (Half-Life, Counter-Strikem etc) and will be presented in hardback rather than the typical trade paperback format that strategy guides are printed. HomeLAN got a chance to chat with the book’s author David Hodgson to find out more about the making of Half-Life 2 book which as he reveals in the interview will be released before the game itself ships to stores.
HomeLAN – How did you get the gig to write the book?
David Hodgson – Prima approached me around the time I worked on the Knights of the Old Republic strategy guide, and wanted me to handle writing duties for Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar, as well as the strategy guide, which I’m finishing up right now. I also do features and previews for various magazines, and this experience helped them pin the project down to me. I was extremely excited at the prospect to say the least, and I’ve had previous experience at this interviewing lark. Nothing quite as gargantuan, however, had been attempted before.
