Other Source games also get the Half-Life 2 anniversary update treatment.

    Will be very neat to see the community reaction to this. To this day dooms open source engine is prolific. I imagine this will be amazing for fan and indie games

      … I use TTS at a pretty fast rate, and instead of “…will be amazing for fan and indie games,” I heard, “…will be amazing for profanity games.”

        I mean, it’s not wrong. I expect quite a lot of lewd and rude content as well.

        Are you visually impaired if you dont mind me asking? Or using TTS for some other reason? Wondering how accessible lemmy is for blind folks and what apps you would be using.

          I’m not visually impaired, I just let the phone read blocks of text to me while I keep scrolling / looking at other things. I am using the Eternity app and Android’s built in “select to speak” TTS feature.

      I don’t think this includes the engine

        Hasn’t the Source SDK been out there for much longer?

    Not free as in FOSS because it’s limited to non-commercial projects, but they’re Valve. Devs will probably be able to strike deals if their monetization schemes aren’t exploitative.

      IIRC, the price for a Source engine license is $50K, Valve also has been picky about who gets them these days because people kept leaking stuff.

      Most of the FOSS community seems to hate business anyway

    I’d love to see someone make a “TF2 Classic” where it’s the game as it was on release, but with all the current QOL and fixes; none of the unlockables and hats and all that bullshit. Just pure fucking fun. Oh, and also give us back all the scripting commands they needlessly took away because some players are too dumb to type shit into the console or download someone else’s config and were claiming that they were unfair.

      Man I remember the last time I successfully played spy as a kid, with the, “turn left/right 170 degrees and backstab” commands you input right as you pass by someone.

      Doable by hand, but now I have a cat on my desk at all times and the range of motion requires to whip around that fast isn’t gonna happen.

        I had made a script that would allow me to set timers for my stickies as a demo. Spray a CP or doorway with 'em, set the timer to, like, 60 seconds and then go spam regular nades somewhere and just wait for someone to explode a minute later.
