Summary

  • Gaming company Valve has released a software development kit (SDK) for its popular 2007 title Team Fortress 2 that allows aficionados to create their own works based on the game.
  • The new functionality offers users the chance to rewrite or tweak the game, or even create conversions, and the resulting creations can be published on the Steam Store.
  • While users can now gain a greater level of access to the game’s code, they are prohibited from profiting off the back of it, and must allow gamers to use items they have already purchased for use within the original game.
  • The move comes alongside an update to several other Valve titles, including Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source, which adds improved functionality and fixes to the games.
