Well he wrote an email today who he is ;) Read:
Given the recent traffic on the list, it seems like a good time to introduce myself to everyone here, and talk about what I do at Valve. I started work here in June and have been given the task of working directly with the MOD community. This means that my primary responsibilities are to package and release the SDK, make it easier to use, and work with MOD makers on problems that they can't solve with the help of other members of the community. My full time job is to make sure that you have everything they need to build your games. I'll be hanging out on this list, as well as the VDC, but you can also feel free to contact me directly with any questions you have at [EMAIL PROTECTED] So now that the introduction is out of the way here's the part that you really care about: an SDK update is coming out very soon. Right now we are testing it in-house and getting ready for its beta release. It will be available later this week unless we encounter serious problems during testing. I'll let people know either way, whether it is going to be this week or next. Once I get all of the details together, I'll send the info on what is coming in this SDK release to this list. -Mike _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Benjamin Davison Gesendet: Mittwoch, 26.
