With Half-Life: Alyx out, Valve shifts focus to its Hammer level editor
<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/with-half-life-alyx-out-valve-shifts-focus-to-its-hammer-level-editor.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Valve released its feature-length VR game <em>Half-Life: Alyx</em> to the world last week, and now the team behind the game is shifting its focus to instead work on getting its accompanying Hammer level editor out to the world.</p>
<p>Hammer, which might end up being non-Valve devs’ <a href="https://gamasutra.com/view/news/357052/No_plans_for_a_full_Source_2_SDK_and_other_tidbits_from_Valves_HalfLife_Alyx_AMA.php">only taste of Source 2 development tools</a>, was originally planned to release alongside <em>Half-Life: Alyx</em> in March, but mention of it was noticeably absent on launch day.</p>
<p>While Valve has yet to share a new release date for the level editing tool, the <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/04/01/half-life-alyxs-level-editor-is-the-teams-focus-now/">folks at Rock Paper Shotgun</a> did manage to spot a comment from Valve’s Jake Rodkin on ResetEra saying that Hammer is the next priority for the game now that <em>Alyx</em> has made it out into the world.</p>
<p>“It’s the team’s focus now that the game’s out,” wrote Rodkin, though the text of his comment has since been <a href="https://www.resetera.com/threads/half-life-alyx-ot-the-right-woman-in-the-right-place.176589/page-68#post-30372038">replaced with a solitary period</a>. “There will be more info soon but we’re working on it.”</p>
