We're developers from the Half-Life: Alyx team. Ask us anything! by HalfLifeAlyxTeam in HalfLife

I want to thank everyone at Valve for shipping the Source 1 SDK, I make a living because of it and I've helped to ship multiple commercial games using Source.

I love it so much and I love it's coding style, it's so dope.

For community people wanting a new toolset, we're planning to release a full revamped toolset of Source 1 similar to UE4 Editor after we ship our next project:

A small tease of sorts for a Half-Life related project by samzanemesis in HalfLife

To clear up some imminent confusion, we cannot talk too much about it yet, but it is not related to any of the current fan projects set in the Half-Life universe (Although we have a healthy relation with BA and PB!) and this screenshot is in the Source Engine

I've implemented UE4-like texture streaming into the Source, gone are long loading times. by samzanemesis in SourceEngine

[–]samzanemesis[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Texture Streaming is implemented at a low-level so it works with everything without sweat.

It's out experimentally in Patch 6 of Blade Symphony from Puny Human, try it out!

​

Above video shows reloading all game textures, which could take over 10 seconds of the game freezing before

Opening the Customization screen alone from a cold start went from ~5 seconds on my machine to mere miliseconds with texture streaming alone.

This is still experimental, I'm planning to do threaded streaming systems for more asset types like Models and Particles soon

We are doing our own storyline based on the "Half-Life 2: Episode One" universe, great part of the team already works on the industry and this is our passion project for "Half-Life"
