Will there be a Portal 2 SDK?

Postby Gary on Sat Aug 28, 2010 2:56 am

I've been looking around and I can't find anything about Portal 2 coming with it's code, like HL2 and ASW did.

Anyone heard about it? If not, think it would be practical to email Gabe?

I think it will be like l4d1/2, so you will have authoring tools instead of a sdk

Practical to email Gabe? I laughed...

But like Source-Maps said, Valve will most likely give us some lame authoring tools.

But Portal 2 is a "full" game now, so maybe Valve will let us have access to the code. Not sure if they want us playing with the portal code though.

Oh, well, hopefully they release a real SDK.

So, what now? Email Valve? Wait for Portal 2?

Personal I have to agree with everyone here, they will more then likely give us some tools but I see them releasing the full code, like Half Life 2, a little bit later one.

I would say wait for Portal 2. Then if there isn't any code or editing tools, then Email but hey, that's just me.
