CVG: Valve has promised that it is spending a "tremendous amount of time" improving its Source Engine SDK.
Gabe Newell admitted that for both Valve and those who use its development tools, Source has become "painful" to use as it makes development difficult.
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.
So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.
Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.
Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.
Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?
New Source engine is likely the reason for the extended delay on Half Life 3. Hopefully Valve coming out and making a statement on the engine itself means they are close to a bigger announcement.
I just want episode 3. :/
BUT I am excited about a new Source engine. The current engine has produced some fantastic games.
I don't want hl3 this year to many games to get through.. next year 12/25/2012 would be a perfect time!!
I rather they wait & perfect the masterpiece until it's ready & up to there standards. no rushing it!
source is still an amazing engine so source 2.0 will be crazy nice!!
I still say Portal 2 has some kinda new Source engine code built into it.
please, new half life valve.....I hope
