Rick Ellis Interview

[simmo]

BlueWolf72 over at ModDB, has interviewed Valve's own Rick Ellis.

Many mod designers are already planning on porting over their HL1 mods. Will this be a drastic change for the team involving a steep new learning curve or shall it be intuitive?

Rick Ellis: Of course this depends on the complexity of their mods, however in most cases it will be very easy to port a mod to Half-Life 2.

It's sort of important to note that this interview was done back in january. As said by BlueWolf72 in the interview's comments:

I didnt load the interview to moddb.com till yesterday. I had it on my other site...never got around to it. Sorry. So I updated moddb with it and emailed the sites to explain if they post about it to make sure this explained that its not new but a interview we did back Jan.

edit: just noticed it also says so in the 'feature information' at the top of the article

still a very informative interview
hmm.. i am wondering about the squad feature in HL2 and if there will be something like that for TF2?
anyway.. the most interesting comment i found was the one about different genres for the source engine..
