Aperture Desk Job Trailer

- Introducing Aperture Desk Job - a free playable short made for Valve's new Steam Deck, set in the universe of the modestly popular Portal games. aperturedeskjob.com
Desk Job reimagines the been-there-done-that genre of walking simulators and puts them in the lightning-spanked, endorphin-gorged world of sitting still behind things.
You play as an entry-level nobody on their first day at work- your heart full of hope and your legs full of dreams, eager to climb that corporate ladder. But life's got other plans, and they all involve chairs.
Playable on the Steam Deck, Desk Job walks you through the handheld's controls and features, while not being nearly as boring as that sounds.

Valve made even the most boring job look enticing
Ikr
But it's cool
Exactly
Real shit
hmmm, reminds me of something....... ah yes, job simulator.
Source 2 looking fire fire, glad to see Valve finally making games again
Same
Yeah! I kinda do miss the old Source1 Engine tho.
Source Engine 2 is far better than Unreal Engine 4/5.
Indeed, although i hope it won't be Steam Deck only (Spoiler: it's not Steam Deck only, nice)
Yes
Such an engaging 30 mins experience. It's actually heart breaking seeing how good Valve still is in making games and engine and yet all they do is those "tech demos" to promote whatever new hardware they have just released in the market.
Trust me when I say this, but if you see how Valve's work structure is like. You might understand why they do that.
Valve's work structure isn't like typical game companies. But it's the matter of freedom to work on any project they so desire without being told to.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised that one developer had to convince 2-5 other coworkers to help on finishing this game. Also, I think 80% of developers mainly focus on patching/updating the Steam client.
@@ZyxieRumor well yeah they own the way a lot of people find and buy games on pc, when they can they make whatever the fuck they want without having to rely on other game studios or publishers, and its clear that they have hope in portal and half life and use any opportunity to revive them
@@ZyxieRumor It's much worse than you make it sound.
They can't continue series because nobody can keep their job. The "flat structure" bullshit is just that, bullshit. There's still a hierarchy, and it's political to a degree you'll never see in a standard company. People are working against each other easily as much as they're working towards a product they can release.
Somebody might get legs on a project and lose half of their team three months in because they start running into some issues, and they start freaking out that they're going to lose their jobs if they don't get on a more stable project that doesn't have any issues.
It's a horrific work environment. Look up some testimonials if you want to hear just how bad. It's incredible that company can even function, and their continued success basically just comes down to having developed a CMS for games that stole the market away (Steam). If GOG or Epic ever started slicing off of that, Valve is going to sink fast.
Nice pfp
Alyx wasn't a tech demo it was a masterpiece.
I love the aperture portal universe so much, glad to see more from Valve expending on it!
GLaD to see it
This game is no canon.

I like how Aperture Science represents all of Valve technologies
@what now ?
@@Jan12700 ignore them, they're spam
Yes
best way to get people used to controls and and mechanics as well as show that what they're supporting is feasible and ready for gaming. it also gives an example of how to make games for said technologies, Nintendo does this with their consoles.
Black Mesa getting no love :(
Always good to see Valve making games.
And making the games we want the most
this is a tech demo, not a game
(not portal 3!!1!1)
If it's a horror game you have to play it
There not making games
0:19 Valve talking to the last TF2 dev:
"Portal."
Valve: "Portal."
"3?"
Valve: "Aperture Desk Job."
I love how Portal is the ip Valve uses whenever they need to make a tech demo for a product
- The Lab
- Aperture Hand Labs
- Moondust
And now this!
And were never getting portal 3!
It's perfect to make a new invention from aperture science, plus everyone loves portal!
well, it started from a school project to show of their skills, that valve then wanted as one of their games.
@@mr_indie_fan at least it didnt end on a cliffhanger
@@mr_indie_fan yeah the game had a pretty good ending, so it makes sense they would'nt be making a sequel.
I like how aperture is the main “virtual office” of valve, its where every tutorial is
@Flower is eaten the irony
@@ddan1998 it's palpable
The little Aperture guys are in the Valve Index right? Now they're in Steam Deck lol
That's some next level branding

I love how ominous the silence and beeping is. Valve always gets the mood right.
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I’m so exited to see more portal from Valve!!
Stop acting like u were in the video
@@imbest1214 oh yeah mb I didn’t actually download it from the steam store or anything, oohhh how foolish of me 🙏😖
@@imbest1214 there is something called downloading and completing the game. And then there is a group of people who are called stupid. And ur in that group
I absolutely love how with almost every item they come out with, they make a portal thing to come with it. It's the best way to have a demo for people who want to learn slowly, or chaotically

Every game they come out with just shows off their tech or engine, and it's amazing
*"You think your job is bad?.. whoa, your job is bad"* That delivery was so good.

@HEARTSTATIONS it's not auto-generated subtitles, the subtitles have been typed
"Barry, does your job suck?"
"Yes, Other Barry, it does."
@HEARTSTATIONS Nah, I'm pretty sure that's what he says.
New portal stuff? I love to see it, Valve!
@JOVANKA-----------👇💋 wtf why are you putting this here you periopkis
There are so many Portal things going on lately!
oh yes, but still missing Portal 3... ;-;
They did the same thing for the Index sorta with Aperture Hand Lab
Bro what’s so good about portal? Where’s the exciting left 4 dead or half life stuff?
I always said that a third portal game would be pointless, because glados is at peace. This seems like a great way to expand the universe
Yeah, there's no point of a sequel to Portal 2. A *prequel* could have potential though. Perhaps one set on the very day that Caroline became GLaDOS.
They can figure it out narrative wise but I think most of the reason people want another Portal game is for Co-op mode, especially like a 3 player mode would be really cool
I wish there was a Portal 3, where you get to play as Doug Rattman, using the lore from the Portal comic, Lab Rat.
Welp, Dough Rattman still a things tho
The valve has begun to turn again. Alyx, The Index, The Deck, Desk Job. Let's hope the momentum keeps it going!
them main valve has been opened, the locomotive is runnin'!
Desk job is not a game
@@porcodanet4857 a demo
for a game system
still counts!
I saw this comment so imma kinda repeat what it said.
So when half like 1,2 and portal 1 and 2 released they revolutionized gaming I think valve is waiting to do that again for half life 3. Hell they did that with half life alyx.
@@porcodanet4857 desk job is also showing off source 2
I can tell how goofy this game will be, definitely has that 'valve spark' to it. Looking forward to it!
@i told u What
Yes because this is what we have been waiting for, a short 10-20 level game instead of an actual sequel that has taken over a decade to come out. Thanks for encouraging them.

Nate Bargatze is a gem
The number '3" started to echo inside my head and it won't stop anytime soon
That looks like an amazing way to test out the Deck!!!!
I say yes
Yes, your Artifact Card Deck
I think games made specifically for the steam deck is a great idea!
@@James-lm7bp No it isn't its an incredibly bad piece of hardware. It needs a slide out keyboard, it needs a button to abort games that are malfunctioning, it is too big, its buttons and controls are in the wrong place, it doesn't have enough storage, and its ergonomics are horrid.
This looks like the Steam Deck's version of Astro's playroom, walking you through the system's features in a unique way
and of course it's set in the Portal universe.
More the lines of Vita's "Welcome Park", but the same regardless.
@@J.PC.Designs I Guess cs is a different universe, it's just terrorists vs counter terrorists in a gunfight, like our reality
@@J.PC.Designs Garry's Mod isn't a Valve game. It's a mod of Half-life made by Garry Newman.
@@J.PC.Designs Yeah, they're in the same universe, which was stated pretty clearly when in portal 2 they mentioned black mesa and in half life 2 episode they mention the borealis, an aperture project. But I think other than that none of the other games are in the same universe
snoy
the idea of giving cores hands is such a fun idea
it really makes them more expressive ya know?
That robot said like 3 sentences in the beginning, and that's all I needed to fall in love with this concept.
"Set in the universe of the **modestly** popular Portal games"

Well...
Portal was a tech demo...
I wish valve would make more video games like they used to. I mean look at how great this “tech demo” is imagine if they added more story and more gameplay to it.
After showing that video of Gabe delivering the early decks to the people near Valve HQ this trailer makes sense
new Portal content? LET'S GOOOOOOOO!
Dont get excited cartoon man, it isnt portal 3, just another dumb tech demo to get us riled up about portal 3 which is never coming.

what an original comment, would have never seen this comment
@@mr_indie_fan nobody fucking said it's portal 3. my man gets mad over nothing
At roughly 0:15, you can see pipes in the back marked with "Gel Flow" arrows. The white color of these arrows indicates these pipes are transporting Conversion Gel. However, the desk shown at 0:17 reveals this takes place in the 1970s area of Aperture Science as indicated by the pre-Moon-rock poisoning portrait of Cave Johnson. This creates a canonical error as Conversion Gel, which is what led to Cave's Moon-rock poisoning, wasn't created at Aperture until the 1980s when he bought 70 million dollars worth of moon rocks.
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder!
Or it could just be old/outdated
I mean the white arrows dont mean anything thats standard
At 0:17, if you look at the stairs, there's some water damage and a bit of chipping at the stairs. This could also imply it could take place in 1980.. and the broken lights? maybe canon won't hold up in the game, though. Multiverse and all that, LOL
Soy wojak
The entirety of portal 2 is a continuity error, alternatively everything can just be explained with parallel universes.
If only we got a HL3 and Portal 3 with this kind of quality.
Only Valve can make a tech demo and casually drop a lore bomb in it
Looks really interesting, I'm curious to find out what role the 1970's Cave Johnson portrait will have. All the orange pipes and equipment shown makes me think of the 70's Aperture aesthetic too, so seems like we might be getting some story or hints about that era of the lore.
Nah it’s just a tech demo
would be cool to see real cave johnson in this game😳
I stand corrected, this game is canon and I’m very excited for a boring tech demo
@@tukib_ true lol
@@franzpanz We don't know when Personality Cores were invented, just that Aperture started working on brain mapping in the 1980s.

I like how they will make a spin-off but never a portal 3
"You think your job is bad? Uhh, your job is bad." is such a funny line
it's good to see that they aren't stressing themselves to make something revolutionary, cuz frankly that kinda stuff is tough now with so many bright minds having a chance to make anything. It's just a simple game, something rarely made by valve
I wouldn't say rare, more like they just release a small short to demo another platform/ method of play they release publicly which these days has been a bit more frequent than them actually releasing full feature length games
Or they just can't be bothered because they're making insane amounts of money not releasing games
@@Soul-fp8si it's a smaller game that seems to still have a lot of polish and work into, what are you on?

Yeah even when it took a decade and we still have neither portal 3 or half life 3.
@homie got everything wrong no bitches?
they made one less than 2 years ago, and it was one of the best games ever made...
PLEASE HELP I'M DROWNING IN AIMBOTS IN TF2! WHY CAN'T THEY SAVE US!?
This is not a game it's a playable experience, a demo not an actual AAA game. It's just like The Labs, Aperature Hand Lab or Moondust. This is not big. Half Life Alyx was though. When It launched you could've said that they are making games again. Because that was an actual game.
I cant wait to play this every day for the next 40 years
Also it's nice to see the more warm and orange tones from portal 1 back in here!

@I lost my phone. Can you help me find it? i am inside your house
I dont know why they stopped making games because this shows people still have interest in them. I would even play a spin-off set in portal or half life.
love to see one of my favorite comedians make his way into a valve game. Valve's ability to find the right voice for the job never ceases to amaze me
Aperture Science is one of the most unique and memorable gaming universes. I really hope we’ll get a full blown VR title some day. Alyx was a masterpiece. I need more immersive Valve VR games.
Portal in VR might give some nasty motion sickness though
@TheCorruptedBit I’m pretty sure they tested a early version of a Portal Vr game but the testers felt sick. Sad stuff😢
I'm sorry but portal and VR don't really seem like something that would work.
It's been done though. You can check portal stories VR. As you would've guessed all of the chambers don't include stuff like gels, faith plates, and momentum mechanics.
Honestly I just want Valve to make games again
It would be nice but Valve has lost interest in VR and has focused on the Steam Deck or other projects altogether, due to losing the market to Oculus and Meta.
I love so much that Valve uses Aperture Science for their tech demos

"Modestly popular"? How charmingly candid.
Half Life: Gets a full VR game.

@@cdfactory Portal is only getting tech demos, while it’s content it just doesn’t hit the same as a full game, such as HL Alyx.
No hate to that game though. HL Alyx is a masterpiece.
Still holding out for a new full length portal game at some point
@@alexrobinson6481 Portal in VR would be pretty amazing.
Portal's story is complete, there's no need to make a new game. Hell, it was complete with Portal 1, they retroactively added a cliffhanger to portal 1 to justify portal 2 existing (though Portal 2 is great).
@@WarpScanner They once tried to make Portal in VR, but one of the issues was motion sickness so they scrapped the idea and had the idea of Alyx.
Even if it’s just an interactive movie it still looks like it’ll be a great tech demo for the steam deck
