A few xeets from
Hopoo Games announce the Risk of Rain developer is now officially part
of Valve Software. Word is a project with the working title
Snail is being discontinued as part of the change:
Today, we have an exciting update: Duncan and Paul, alongside many other talented members at Hopoo Games, will now be working on game development directly at valvesoftware!
We're incredibly grateful to Valve for their partnerships in the last decade, and are excited to continue working on their awesome titles. However, this does mean that we are stopping production on our unannounced game, "Snail".
It's been an exciting and transformative 12 years. We feel lucky for the opportunities we've had, and deeply appreciate both our team and fans that have supported us and our games.

I fully expect anything that might have come from Hopoo to now be dead. Campo Santo was the exact same thing: joined Valve and disappeared. A disappointing end to otherwise interesting indie devs. I hope I'm wrong, but sure won't hold out any hope.
Come on guys, they'll clearly be working on HL3.

Why is it not surprising that Valve are acquiring a studio with an in-dev project named as such? The jokes are writing themselves once again. Watch these guys never release any shit ever again...

Never played Risk of rain games, seen a bunch of streamers play them.
RoR 2 looks more my style than RoR 1.. I should probably try it out one of these days.

Well, either they're being added to the Deadlock team, or Valve really is developing more than one game at a time. I assume the latter, as they hired a guy last year who made top-tier mods for Half Life Alyx. There isn't a LOT of info, but there's little snippets that all point to there being another Valve-made headset coming, and they'll want something to entice people to buy it.

Stoked we got Risk of Rain Returns from Hopoo, just before Gearbox runs that IP into the ground.
I have little faith in Gearbox either. They're probably already planning a ROR3 (and a ROR4, ROR5, ROR movie, Tales of ROR) and yes, I expect quality to go downhill as they dumb everything down to appeal to mass market.
