minus-squarePoiar@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoCorrect me if I’m wrong, but weren’t the original Half-Life based on this engine? So, Counter-Strike wouldn’t have existed in this form, and DOTA 2 wouldn’t have been made in the engine it was. Conversely, Warcraft 3 also had a modding scene where DOTA sprung from. So, probably a lot of Valve’s games wouldn’t have seen the light of day, and they wouldn’t have had the capital to make Steam.
minus-squarePiselloSauro@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·1 year agoI like your story, but it’s completely wrong 😂 Half Life uses a derivate of the Quake 1 engine called GoldSrc, it has completely nothing to do wit the Far Cry engine, not even remotely
minus-squarePoiar@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoIsn’t that exactly what the guy I responded to was requesting info about? The good open sourcing the ID engine did?
