That’s terrible news. I love HL2, City 17 style is so cold and lived in

Sad.

RIP Viktor

Condolences 💐

oh no. I met him once, a long time ago when I was starting out. He did a talk at the GDC and I went up to him with my freshly minted Karakter business card saying "creative director" which didn't impress him much haha. I always hoped I would have a chance to meet him again. Truly a goat

Truly one of the greatest. Awful news.

ianmcque.bsky.social•105 days ago

Awful to think we’ll never see another of his worlds

didden.bsky.social•105 days ago

Dishonored is my go to example of great world building and art direction. Such a profound loss

I loved the Dishonored games so much because of their unique aesthetic. They felt like I was experiencing a beautiful Victorian era painting in 3d.

Such a loss, terrible news.

Loved HL2 visuals! I miss this type of concept art

Oh my gosh, thats awful to hear :( I never met him but went to his GDC talk years ago. What an inspiring human. 💔 Condolences for his family and friends…

No way! It’s so sad to read that. He was a true visionary indeed.

eugeneprunk.bsky.social•105 days ago

no way... i just recently watched Half-Life 2 documentary and he was there in the first minutes

rest in peace, Viktor

His work on Half-Life 2 had a profound influence on me; his passing is a terrible loss.

uphillwheezer.bsky.social•105 days ago

That first feeling of walking into Dunwall and City 17 has never been matched for me.

slithergaunt.bsky.social•105 days ago

A truly unique and unmistakable signature style. Sad to lose him.

daithig.bsky.social•105 days ago

Was this confirmed anywhere else? More out of hope that anything!

karohemd.bsky.social•105 days ago

:( Two years younger than me...

slowestdude.bsky.social•105 days ago

His direction was striking and beautiful. I think the Dishonored art style is one of my favourites in video games. Knowing he isn't anymore is deeply sad

paulchadeisson.bsky.social•105 days ago

Sad news :( i meet him while he was selling his artbook many years ago, and had the chance to spoke to him, half life 2 art direction memories still come to my mind today, a true inspiration

ianmcque.bsky.social•105 days ago

Oh man, wish I’d had the chance to meet him. You going to IAMAG btw?

virgopunk.bsky.social•105 days ago

That's terrible news. Dishonored is one of the most amazingly realised gaming worlds I've ever played in. I have prints of Viktor's design work on my walls. He really was visionary.

Visionary
