Half-Life: Alyx was developed largely in secret by a team of around 80 developers, the largest team Valve has ever had, with a third of the team having worked on the previous Half-life games. Work on the game began in 2016 as a way to develop a full VR title, which has been tested using different Valve franchises, ranging up to Half-life or Portal. Eventually, it was decided that a fully VR portal game would be too disorienting for players, while Half-life had the right amount of “story, combat, puzzle, exploration, and interaction” that could work in VR.
Half-Life: Alyx was planned to serve as the flagship title for Valve’s in-house VR headset, Valve Index, and was expected to release in summer 2019 to coincide with the launch of Index. Six months before this planned release, Valve held an internal test with its employees to gauge their feedback. While the game’s design, gameplay, and game progression were praised, the actual story (written by Rob Yescombe of the Invisible Hours) was heavily criticized for being too bizarre and not in keeping with the Half-life universe. To correct this, Alyx was delayed and Erik Wolpaw (who had left Valve to work on Psychonauts 2) was hired again to work alongside Jay Pinkerton and Sean Vanaman to completely rework the story while preserving the core gameplay.
< Valve kept all information about Half-life: Alyx from the public until the game's announcement on November 19, 2019. The public's only knowledge of the title came from leaks and rumors about a Half-life title utilizing VR technology. This title was then known simply as “HLVR”, it never received an official codename. Starting in late 2016, leftover code codes regarding HLVR in DOTA 2 began to appear. These strings suggested new weapons and NPCs and referred to familiar familiar creatures (like vortigaunts and zombies). Fans, at the time, speculated that the remaining data was related to the development of Half-Life 3.
