Portal lead filling Dark Void dev position

Awesome! When does she turn 18?

Wow, hope she got a helluva pay bump, because I would not want to hitch my wagon to Dark Void.

@RockySquirrel lol

I knew she'd get a job soon! What has it been, less than a week?

it's great! the Ps3 would get their game too!

"games aimed at a more diverse audience." are they being PC and meaning more games that interest the ladies?

Portal is still one of my favorite game of this gen. Wish her good luck on her future endeavors.

well with someone from valve along that game could be a whole lot better, i mean somebody name a game that THEY made and not just published that is bad?

I think she'll be a welcomed addition to the team. Perhaps open up some new gameplay ideas. @Fed__X - First off, kind of rude. Secondly, what makes you say she's "thick"? http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2172/1535937655_1b0f81e372.jpg I don't know about you, but I don't like skeletons.

It seems that this story isn't very complete. Valve doesn't have a very high turnover rate, in fact I can't think (off the top of my head) of a single Valve employee that went to work for another major studio.

WOW, she worked on some of the best games ever made, it's kinda sad to see her leave such a great developer but I wish her the best of luck in the future.....

None too interested in the story but...she's pretty cute.

oh this is the brad pitt game right? now with puzzles!? Oh Noez!

Granted, she was with them for at least a few years, and I'm sure she's contributed plenty to Portal 2, but it still seems odd to leave a company like Valve so soon. Especially when Valve is easily one of the most secure developers to be working for, and they did her a favor by giving her a Grade A job in the business right out of college.

Portal 2 requires some badass reflexes. Love puzzle games, and Portal 2 is hopefully even better then the first.

Left 4 Dead 2 came so quickly when it really didn't need too, but it's been 2-3 years and we still don't have a Portal 2!

the cake better not be a lie this time >_>

KIM SWIFT IS AWESOMEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Portal 2! please!

Will there be cake in this one?

Good luck Kim! Valve is sure to miss you.

@ gamercosti Kim Swift actually played a minor role in Portal's conception, though her most notable contribution would have to be the Companion Cube. Since then she has gotten some experience, but for some reason the "press" gives her more credit and attention just because of her gender. The industry is weird like that.

I guess it makes sense, if you jump out of a portal and into a dark void, you better be airtight.

I loved portal ... but WHY would you leave one of the best game developers in the world? Ohhh, that's right ... $$$. Duh.

When it said Kim, I thought it was some asian guy.

Kay, portal sequel and a new Crimson Skies game plz!

So who's making Portal 2???

lead designer for portal was a ...gurl? O_o damn i want all the new games to have a girl's touch. It's just what is missing from most of them. but we still want portal 2!

Hah! Awesome video, we NEED another Portal!

f this, i want portal 2 !!!
