From Narbacular Drop To Portal
In 2005, a team of seven Digipen students put together an innovative puzzle game called Narbacular Drop for their senior project. In the two years that followed, the entire team was recruited by legendary developer Valve to turn their class project into the immediately beloved Portal. Check out the video below to hear three members of the Narbacular Drop team talk about the immediate transition from working on schoolwork to working on a high-profile, massively successful title.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
