The History of Valve: Outsiders and Innovators PART 1

[@diogo763]

Cobbler seems to be taking a page out of Valve’s book, making a great video and never releasing the sequel. Amazing

[@monkeeee]

The dedication is real

[@channel45853]

No, he has to make Part 2 and then not release a Part 3 for a decade.

They're really outstanding, I need to keep track of which I'm using and credit them on part 2. It was easier to justify not giving credit when I had almost no subs, but I've grown guilty about it.

I think that the things that really wowed me at the time were the physics engines. When I had gotten into gaming, I was miserably behind. Being able to see things move- to pick up and THROW things without my computer, for lack of a better term, frying was... wow. Your use of the word wow factor is pretty spot on. During their time, Valve's HL2 and Bethesda's Oblivion were certainly very wow.

[@DJPeachCobbler]

It's just one of those things that I can only see in retrospect since I didn't play the games until the last few years. I'm thankful for that tech demo footage from 2003, so I could see genuine reactions to it at the time.

[@skparadise3382]

You're welcome for saving you from buying watchdogs legion lmao. You've genuinely become my favorite guy on youtube, i watched all your vids and have been rewatching them while waiting for this video and they are all great and somehow unique from the others like you. I dont exactly know what makes them unique and so great but you most likely do so keep it up. Great work as always.

[@DJPeachCobbler]

Thanks for letting me use your comment, and thanks for inspiring this video (even if that wasn't your intention). I'm glad you like my videos

[@skparadise3382]

[@erzatsasjaash6819]

29:42 In software engeneering there is what we call AGILE work methodology. It is basically what you described, yet more complex with taking into account stakeholders and all that administrative gibberish. In any given AGILE system, teams are often at most composed of 9 people. If we take exemple on SCRUM, which is by far the most frequently used AGILE system, it dictates that all team must be autonomous. This is mostly done through daily meetings where everyone can share their though on the current development, and monthly through a retrospective and a review of the work done that month. All that to say, these kind of systems work. They can be a pain in the ass, but they work. Whenever a team is composed of self-thaught modders and whatnot, the development team most likely will struggle to keep pace and crumble into a mess of unworkable puzzle pieces of code and design template. It is only a guess, but I suppose that this is what happened with Valve at the start. Software engeneering error margin grows exponentially with the complexity of the product. AGILE systems are there to constrain some of that eror margin.

[@LucasCunhaRocha]

yeah I think the whole "modders as devs" didn't made that much of a difference, keep in mind that Romero did basically the same thing with Daikatana but he kept development in the traditional way and it all went to hell like we know today.

[@LukoSavage]

Sitting here nine months after he released this video, and honestly I'm super stoked that Peach Cobbler has like 154k subscribers. That's a massive jump man, and your commitment to quality and hilariously cutting content deserved no less. I hope that this growth continues, and I can't wait for what the future holds.

[@estoor4258]

Hey, babe, wake up, new DJ Peach Cobbler video.

[@jiotto]

I just found your channel and I adore the outlook you hold on these games, seeing how the perspective of game devving has always had this stagnating mentality just makes me hope that there will be more chances in the future for early and upcoming studios to develop just like Valve did initially and shake big gaming and entertainment mediums down to their core for the betterment of the player. Keep up the great work!

[@DJPeachCobbler]

Valve was in a unique and very enviable position with Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington's wealth behind the studio. I do think it's a really interesting development strategy, and I'd say the results speak for themselves, but it's a big risk. I think it only works with the right people, and actually led, in many ways, to their nearly non-existent output this decade. But, that'll be in the next video. I'm glad you enjoy my channel, and hope you like Part 2

[@WilltehGreat]

I hear part 2 is going to come out the same week Half-Life 3 releases.

[@evanblack20]

[@kordianronnberg9090]

Thanks for very interesting material! I love your visual map of game development hierarchy! From my small experience, this fresh Valve model of communication inside of the team, not only could support innovation and healthy relationships, but mostly save tones of money for publishers. It's sometimes enough to ask an dedicated specialist about some specific issues. But in standard procedure they will ask people on the top, wchich are just more directly related to talking... it's hard to imagine how much money the publishers need to throw though the window because of this conventional methodology of indirect communication. ;)

This video is absolutely fantastic but it doesnt hold a candle against Part 2. Sorry to gush about a different video in this one's comment section but i had to get castrated to remove what was left after my balls blew off watching Part 2. I would go as far as to say it was nothing short of a masterpiece. The absolute expertise cobbler has weaving the rest of valves history together with homosexualality and for some reason Doom Eternal was nothing short of a miracle.
