Valve To Freely Release Source-Powered Alien Swarm, Entire Codebase

Quote:
Valve is legendary for its propensity to let its development cycles stretch out as long as the studio deems necessary to achieve quality; the policy is so notorious that it has been immortalized on Valve's official developer Wiki.

Now, barring catastrophe, the Half-Life and Portal creator looks to be setting a record for its shortest elapsed period of time between a game announcement and release, with the promise of top-down cooperative shooter Alien Swarm coming to Steam for free on Monday, July 19.

Along with the game, Valve says it will be providing the entire codebase for the Steamworks-integrated title, explaining that access to those materials will give prospective developers "more insight and examples for using Steamworks in game production."

The SDK for Valve's Source engine will also be updated on Monday, presumably with Alien Swarm-related changes...
More here ...

cheers ...

I go through stages; I went through a long PS3 stage for a while, then I moved to PC... now I'm on movies... then I'll loop back around with the PS3. I'm moving shortly remember. I'll be back to PS3 when I get my sweet ass setup finished.
