  I look forward to making your engine do things it was never expected to do.

  The complicated chains of I/O and lack of a proper integrated script system was actually one of the only things intimidating me out of really getting into Source mapping, very excited to play with Chisel!

  I spent 20ish years in Source 1. I then spent some time shipping a unity game and hated the level editing experience there.<br><br>I then spent some time in source 2 with Hammer 5 - it&apos;s insane how good Valve is with level editors. It&apos;s even more insane how bad unity\unreal\gadot are with level editing.<br><br>Your engine is cool, straight forward, and honestly fun to use.

  I hate how most new engines don&apos;t have good level editors for 3D games. Source engine mapping is so fun. &nbsp;Not going to 100% leave Godot as I am very familiar with it, but for 3D I will probably use this one more often for projects.<br><br>Please take your time working on this project.

  As someone who really likes Software and design, this video was a joy to watch. You&apos;re clearly very talented and I hope you and your engine are successful.

  i think the reason modern engines don&apos;t ship with tools like hammer is because they are general purpose. a level designer that can work with any game would just be the engine again.<br><br>in godot for example it&apos;s trivial for a programmer to make signal based logic, at which point all that a level designer has to do is use the right signal.<br>it has to be the programmer&apos;s job to implement such systems because the engine does not know or care about what the game is, it could be a 2d platformer just as much as it could be a 3d racing game. signals work the same way regardless.<br><br>i do think there&apos;s something to be said about how general tooling will never be quite as effective as specialized tooling, but it must also be kept in mind that such tooling isn&apos;t better but <i>better suited</i> for a specific task.
