Valve Releases Updated Alien Swarm For Free With Code Base
baronvoncarson tips news that today Valve released an updated version of Alien Swarm, a popular Unreal Tournament 2004 total conversion mod. The creators of the mod were hired by Valve, and they've helped turn it into a stand-alone game running on the Source engine. Valve is also releasing the code base for Alien Swarm and an SDK. The game is available for free on Steam.
If only the summary mentioned how they ported it to the source engine...
not reading the posts you are responding too is just too far.
Psh, I don't even read the posts I quote. Were you talking about puppies or something up there?
Yeah, poor Black Cat. They got offered and accepted a hiring from one of the most successful development houses in the world and then got paid to finish their free volunteer project and release it for free anyway. Life's a bitch.
If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention.
Bah, I don't even read the posts I write!
...ooh look... something shiny...

"How are you doing?"
"Fine."
"Hey, have you seen that new movie?"
