Source 2 Engine Hinted in Source Filmmaker

Tuesday, August 07, 2012  Anonymous  

From our long summer hiatus we have returned! To get things started off in a timely fashion here is the latest story in regards to gaming. The gaming company Valve is synonymous with many great things out there, including their dated Source engine. Over the course of a decade they have constantly updated it so it can stay inline with modern engine technology.

Recently some fine people at Valve Time have dug out some lines of code and files from the Source Filmmaker that seems to point to a whole new project from Valve. Below is some highlights of what they have found out.

Line 1387:
'''Return an str with the current engine version.
If key doesn't doesn't exist, assume 'Source', otherwise invalid -- assume next-gen 'Source 2'.'''
Source 2 tool Icons (above)
  • appicon
  • terrain_tool_toggle_control_cage
  • terrain_tool_select_verts
  • terrain_tool_edge_smooth
  • paint_tool_icon
  • scale_tool_icon
From what is being seen here it seems Valve wants to slowly integrate Source 2 so it will not be such a huge leap but a smooth transition with all the added features. This story is currently developing so we will bring you important updates as they happen.
