I've just learned today that Viktor Antonov, Half-Life 2's video game art director and concept artist, has passed away at the age of 53. Thanks to him, he managed to create the whole dystopian and unique atmosphere of City 17 in Half-Life 2. Rest In Peace, Viktor. "In fact, within a city, there are 1,000 different cities that exist in the same physical space. It's fascinating."
