Doug Church Joins Valve
Gamasutra is reporting that former Looking Glass Studios game designer Doug Church, who worked on the System Shock and Ultima Underworld games, has signed on with Half Life developer Valve.
No word has emerged yet concerning what project(s) Church has been assigned to.
And that’s basically it for today…slow news. C’est la vie.

So that means we can in the best case scenario hope for a Doug Church game at Valve in a decade or so?
(Yeah somehow having Doug Church going to Valve saddens me. What can I say ?)
If any company needed to take on staff who have worked on games like Ultima Underworld, I would suggest it would be Bethesda.
I’ll be interested to see what Valve have in store though.
More Steam, less gamemaking? 😛
