Half-Life 2 SDK?

[Chris-008]

When does the SDK for HL2 come out? I heard (though this was last year when the october release date was still thought to be true) that it was coming out before HL2, so modders could get started on their mods so they could have them out sooner.

modders... is that a 'word'?

That's awesome. Perhaps I should draw up a design document for the mod I have in mind...

I want to do that too, but im only like 20% (10 pages) done with my design doc (including the story/storyline)

Its a pain in the lower parts to write SP

Naa mate, doing SP is the most fun, MP is pretty boring from a creative point of view, unless its one of those online RPG thingies.

Yeah, its hella fun but you need more skills and more time to write SP, thats why i do it, silly

My design doc is in my head amigos. I have a warning for you all. My mod will be SCARY. You might soil your pants. I got scared thinking about my mod. I might post something here about the storyline later.

Most of my design docco is in my head. Apart from the bit that's on paper, of course.

 

[Chris-008]

Mine is in my head currently but not for long. It's fun at first to design MP but after that, teh technicalities and little things make it booooooring. Single player is tedious but a lot of fun to write ^_^.

WEll, the main differnece in writing a design doc for a SP and MP mod is that for a SP mod, it is more creative writing. for a MP mod, it's more Technical writing. IMO anyway.

You still need to write how the game will work and all. MP dont need a good story to be good, just good gameplay. A SP mod needs a good story and a good gameplay.

SDK "soon"

The [Half-Life 2] SDK will be released soon. There was a legal hangup that has now been resolved.
