Files found in Valve’s Source Filmmaker suggest the company is currently working on a next-gen engine.
Many lines reference Source 2, according to Valvetime.net.”Return an str with the current engine version. If key doesn’t doesn’t exist, assume ‘Source’, otherwise invalid – assume next-gen ‘Source 2’”, one part reads.
It’s crazy to think the original Source engine has been around since 2004. The uncovered code suggests Valve might be lining up a new version for the release of the next-gen, and indeed, a Half-Life 3 reveal.
Source Filmmaker was launched last month, and might be amongst the first Valve-based programs to receive the update.
