Source SDK 2013 Release

[blackdog]

(Not sure if I should post this here or in 3D forum)

Huge changes for Source Engine modders:

• support for Linux and Mac builds now
  
• Hammer comes along the games, instead inside the SDK
  
• the SDK Launcher is going to disappear
  
• support for Oculus Rift
  

I find a bit odd the choice to go for a "localized" version of the tools in each game; I am expecting that for Source 2 they will approach the toolkit's distribution in the same way Epic and Crytek do.

I hope that those of you with SP mods will update them for multi-platform release, so I can get back to play some good ol' HL2 stuff

Isn't the Localized thing what they've been doing already with Portal 2 and L4D2? Those specific Authoring Tools, which link you to Hammer, Model Viewer etc

Will build for OUYA platform?

hahaha just kidding.

Cool, because last week i tried to make some stuff in hammer (koth idea), but it ran sloooowly and kept freezing all the time.
