#and all the leaks from the dev repo as of late cant make anyones motivation over there any better i feel

[skeletalheartattack]

i did an insane deep dive into why the last tf2 comic never launched and im pretty sure its for a fairly mundane reason - the artist and the writers ended up all getting too busy with other projects. this is at least what theyve said publicly. the artist has a blog on here she doesnt really post much on anymore but i cant recall the url at the moment. sadly the fact that the creatives all got too sucked in2 other projs is the most Valve reason ive heard for the the tf2 comic staying unfinished

yeah no that lines up, similar to how TF2s core dev team split off into working on stuff like Dota 2 after MVM shipped or so. it honestly makes me really sad to realize that even devs have burnout on such a scale within a company like valve. i definitely get why it happens, TF2 is their oldest actively supported multiplayer game, it's hard to keep motivated when this game's been running hard since 2007.

#ask #anon #(also i mean actively supported as in valve still push content updates to it) #legitimately it makes me so sad. ive grown up with TF2 for a lot of my life and it makes me sad to know we probably wont see certain things #and all the leaks from the dev repo as of late cant make anyones motivation over there any better i feel #it really sucks honestly #i dream a lot about tf2 stuff. from content updates to maps and weapons #or i mean like sleep dreams #''would you be excited for a TF3?'' i dont think you can recreate what TF2 had and make something better #like. i dont feel like you could ever encapsulate the magic of what TF2 is. in its artstyle. its humor. its gameplay. #hell theres not much you can improve upon with TF2. so making a sequel is like making overwatch 2 #but i do think its nice that community support for the game is still strong. like maps and custom tf2 mods and sfuff like that. #so im gonna leave my tags on that positive note #thank you for the research anon. i think i set my hopes a little too high in expecting it couldnt release because of a content patch #maybe someday that burnout will fade and well see issue 7 some day
