Yeah basically. He still hasn't sent it to Valve yet. He said he would (release it?) when the SDK went free

[ScarT]

I have my doubts it'll happen. Valve have done nothing but sabotage Tony's work. He fixed the SDK entirely but the updated was never published. Mike Durand whom were hired to work specifically on the SDK is now working with engine licenses to other companies (this is not offical though).

I'm guessing Valve is disappointed with the community and the lacking ability to come up with something new they can buy.

Stop being so lazy.

That may be part of it, though the main reason is that I just lack the skill.

Maybe I should go and really learn C++.

I just hope that when Valve releases their "improved" SDK update as they say they're working on, we'll be able to use this version of the engine. Does anyone know if this has been confirmed or not?

[ScarT]

Nothing's been said about this at all.

I've been told by people close to Valve that the tools have been updated and will be released with the free SDK. This also corroborates with Gabe and others(?) saying that the tools are in desperate need of update.

My reply was in reference to which engine version that'd be available.

I've also been told Source 2009 code would be released.

how convenient for you to remember that just now, and not earlier

[ScarT]

Of course it'll be released. What bothers me is the fact that there's no point since it doesn't contain the optimization the Portal 2 engine revision got.

It did actually slip my mind. Why would I lie?

[joe_rogers_11155]

because your in it with the aliens, building landing strips for the martians. i dunno it was just weird for you to not mention it after the comment about it right before.
