According to my email archives, I was first informed of Wolfire Games' ninja rabbit simulator entering development in 2008, and I put down a preorder on it back in 2009. I hope I didn’t down you, it was not meant to be harsh.It's hard to write about Overgrowth without feeling a little old - this is early access before that was even a thing.

The code was under the same license as the asserts and that saidĬan be redistributed for free, but cannot be resold without our permission. And only the code of Lugaru was GPL-ed, not the assets

Why is it not safe to release the code? (as long as it of course is after release)Īs for the other guy selling the re-compiled Lugaru, the issue is not because he sold the recompiled binaries, he also sold the art assets.

I think it’s because what you can make with their tools, are all you need to make something good.Īnd what do you protective over code I’d say that 1 year after a mod is releaser it would be safe to expose the code for it. I deffently think they care, and I don’t think they are understaffed either. (somewhat similar to above) they started too many projects at the same time, but that also bring significantly more cash.

they don’t care their own products run ok, screw the mods And only the code of Lugaru was GPL-ed, not the assets … I’d say that 1 year after a mod is releaser it would be safe to expose the code for it.Īs for the other guy selling the re-compiled Lugaru, the issue is not because he sold the recompiled binaries, he also sold the art assets. But they did that AFTER the engine was milked up dry of money.

And porting Steam to PS3 and For Quake 4, they released only the game code, not the full source code, as they did with Quake protective over code: ID software open sourced engines. And I think that’s why lately they’re just buying dev teams. More towards publishing than development. So, if Valve doesn’t get money from engine licensing, what is their source of income? The games they developed (when was the last Valve-developed game released?) and possibly from Steam.Īnd my feeling is that Valve is focused more towards Steam. This means they must create easy to use engines and tools, otherwise they will not make as much money. id, Epic, Crytek, on the other hand, they get have game engine licensing as a business plan. It says it can to it, but in reality, Valve doesn’t get a lot of it’s money from engine licenses. Again, the same possible reasons come up.Īnd there’s one more reason: Valve doesn’t license its engine. Very likely much more difficult than Unity, don’t know about UDK. Their tools also seem to be more difficult, from what other people complain. – (somewhat similar to above) they started too many projects at the same time, but that also bring significantly more cash. – they don’t care their own products run ok, screw the mods So why do they “break” compatibility that often? Now, I am pretty sure Valve is not deaf to this. Quite a lot of discontent towards Valve’s engine updates. Jason, Don and Robert have agreed to stop by and respond to any comments, so feel free to ask them your own questions.Īttention iTunes Users: All my podcasts are now available via the iTunes Store. Lastly, William from Podcast17 and Au Heppa from Human Error were also due to join us but were unable to. Robert’s microphone was also generating lots of clicks and pops and at one point he muted for a while. In addition we had some technical issues and had to disconnect the call and start from where we left off. I have to admit that my management of this discussion is a little weak and I could have structured it better. My guests for this show are Jason AKA GeneralVivi, Don AKA Unqueque and Robert Yang AKA CapmpaignJunkie. This one, as you can see, is entitled “The Future of Source Modding”, and we discuss various aspects of this theme. I hope to do around 3 or 4 of these a year.

This is the first in a new series of in-depth discussions on one particular topic or aspect of Source gaming.
