s&field is now open supply underneath MIT license, you’ll be able to get it on GitHub and construct the engine nonetheless you need.
Clearly this isn’t the Supply 2 code, that’s as much as Valve to open supply if they need. For us Supply 2 is offering decrease degree methods, all our excessive degree methods are C# like the complete editor, networking, scene system, UI, and far more..
What this implies is you’ll be able to view, modify, copy any of our code to assist enhance s&field with pull requests, or preserve your personal fork in your standalone video games, and even simply take the code in your personal engine.
It might sound odd from a enterprise perspective to make an engine and provides it away without cost with no royalties and to provide all of the code away underneath open supply. However we’re a bunch of nerds that love what we’re creating, we wish everybody to make use of it in no matter approach they need, we wish to present alternatives.
Open supply is nice for the sport dev ecosystem, engines like Godot are superior, we must always have extra of it as a result of everybody wins.
