His influence and artistic vision are remembered fondly, particularly his recent appearance in a Half-Life 2 documentary for the game's 20th anniversary. Many in the gaming community expressed admiration for his contributions and shared personal memories of his humor and charisma.
RIP Viktor Antonov. I wish I told you how much admiration I had for you but we get caught in our lives until a surprise like this hits us.
I didn't want to say much till I felt it was confirmed, but I learned today that Viktor Antonov, our visionary art lead on HL2, has died.
All this about his impact and talent is true, but I will also always remember how much he made me laugh, with his dry, devastating wit. RIP.
