If you've found yourself here then congratulations... You found my shameful low-quality past projects. Many shelved maps, knockoffs, asset flips, and other ideas that a 12 year old version of me thought would be groundbreaking. This profile only exists for historical purposes.
While i was wimbling around with the maps settings , trying to make it look like i betrayed glados and walked back from the lair.
I noticed that the basic structure of the Lair , resembles a Collector ship.
Did valve based the concept of that ?

Fairly stupid of me to have thought that...
The cylinder design is a fairly common practice in fortifications and also it is highly unlikely a visual similarity would be a direct correlation between Valve Software and Bioware/EA.
Needles to say while the avocation was wrong I still do believe the design of the external paneling field is spectacularly similar to the aforementioned vessel.
