Portal Stories: VR

Important Announcement!

26 April, 2016 - Anna

Hey everyone,

Today we got informed by Valve that there are issues with the name Portal Stories:VR. We've been requested to change the name of our game. At this point we're not sure yet what we're going to call it, but we're in talks with Valve to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Unfortunately this also means that we'll have to delay the release of the game again. We still plan to release as soon as possible, but it's going to take some more time. We have to agree on a new name, change all of our promotional assets and make some adjustments in the game itself.

EDIT May 7:
We have resolved the issue. Instead of changing the name, Portal Stories:VR is now tagged as a Portal 2 mod. You'll need a copy of Portal 2 in your Steam library in order to play Portal Stories: VR (You do NOT need it installed)

The problem is they have the Portal in the game title, that is licensed to Valve. If they let these people use it they open up a whole new problem where other companies can use their name. Same thing with Black Mesa mod, previous name was Half life Black Mesa. So Valve have to at least protect some of their IP to not have more problems.

Aperature Science would be a good name.

Can you share what problems exactly does valve have with the name? or did they not tell you in fear that it may spoil an upcoming relice they have?

Is it the same game as Portal Stories: Mel? I would go for something like Portal Stories Mel: Chapter 2. Is it different? Then I would simply go for Portal Stories: *insert character name here.*
