Most of the assets came from the massive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/games\/986552\/12tb-steam-leak-half-life-2-episode-3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">12-terabyte leak<\/a> that dropped this August. That didn\u2019t include the game\u2019s source code or map data, but those final pieces apparently hit the Valve Cut Content Discord this week, allowing a nearly complete version to be pieced together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Some dialog and elements of F-Stop eventually found their way into Portal 2. But it differs dramatically from the mainline Portal games in that it\u2019s built around a camera mechanic that lets you capture an item by taking its picture and place it elsewhere using the resulting Polaroid-like photos. It\u2019s not unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderfulgames.com\/games\/viewfinder\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Viewfinder<\/a> in that way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The game is short, with videos showing off its full campaign all clocking in at under an hour. That\u2019s not terribly surprising, though. F-Stop was developed as part of the \u201cDirected Design Experiments,\u201d a three-month period in 2007 when Valve broke into five teams to build new video game experiments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leakers have pieced together a playable version of the canceled Portal prequel F-Stop.
