But the people at Valve were still cool enough to let us use some of their monsters to fill the cubes in the background (I had a lot of cubes to fill.)<\/p>\n<p>By the way &#8212; the game was gonna be amazing. You were gonna be able to play in both the upstairs &#8220;Cabin in the Woods&#8221; world and the downstairs &#8220;facility&#8221; world with all the monsters. Believe me, I HATE all video games based on movies, they always suck, but porting Cabin into Left For Dead felt like the right fit.
