Have anyone else noticed how low down her breasts are?

Are you stupid? Of course they are going to let the mod community get their hands on this editor. Why do you think he's showing these tools?

@vartaxe The engine is a lot better too.

The version of the source engine valve lets us mod properly has pretty boring features to todays standards.

Nice leak, I wonder what the nymph does.

[brandon9271]

Its WAY more advanced than source.. Source uses light maps but Spark has real time lighting on all surfaces. I'm not a game engine guru but I would say its more akin to Unreal Engine 3 than Source. I still think Source is just a higher res Quake engine with normal maps and physics.. but what do I know ;D

[vartaxe]

theyre no more using source engine. source engine is good but this one theyre building looks very good too! and as for the tools they look much better!

Take a look to the videos, it uses VTFs.

Also, the tool 'Create a mod' in Source SDK can drop the Source engine (Better said, the HL2 engine) source code so it's supossed to be open.

I believe it's a proprietary engine, since the Source engine is not open-source, I don't know exactly how much of the Source code you get from the Source engine. But I'm pretty sure this would be beyond what you'd be able to do with the supplied source-code provided.

I can't wait to mod with this new engine, looks great
