Title: Valve Working On Improving SDK
Post by: Mehis on April 05, 2011, 05:55:05 AM
Old news, but so you guys know...
Source: http://www.interlopers.net/ (http://www.interlopers.net/)



Gabe Newell, via the Steamcast podcast, has sent word that Valve are working hard on improving the tools available for Source. From the transcript of the interview with Newell:


Quote
"Backstepper: MasterGir asks: ‘Will Valve ever update the source SDK, especially Hammer?’

Newell: Oh yeah, we’re spending a tremendous amount of time on tools right now. So, our current tools are... very painful, so we probably are spending more time on tools development now than anything else and when we’re ready to ship those I think everybody’s life will get a lot better. Just way too hard to develop content right now, both for ourselves and for third-parties so we’re going to make enormously easier and simplify that process a lot."

When i first time heard this, i was all liek  ??? YAYAYYAYAYAYAAYYAYAYA!
