Narbacular Drop

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Portal.

To do: This page seriously needs a top to bottom rewrite, maybe even merged into an "Early Development" page or something like that. This page should discuss the similarities and differences between these two games, rather than dicussing Narbacular Drop (which should have its own page like Tag: The Power of Paint. Outside of that, maybe add more content and images.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

In 2004-2005, Narbacular Drop was created by a group of seniors at the DigiPen institute of technology, when they came together, they founded Nuclear Monkey Software. After working on the game they would later demonstrate it to Valve to which Gabe Newell hired them to make it in the Source engine, creating Portal.
