Valve decided to terminate two mode projects, which are highly interested by fans, Portal 64 and Team Fortress: Surce 2. This step is often opposite to mod developers as a surprise development for Valve that supports.
Team Fortress: End of an Innovative Approach
Team Fortress: Surce 2’s goal was to redesign and develop a completely new Team Fortress game on Surce 2 platform. However, Stoping this project of Valve was disappointing the fans of the game.
Portal 64’s Nintendo Adventure Short Slider
On the other hand, The Portal 64 project was intended to carry its classic Gantry game to Nintendo 64 platform. But Valve noted that Nintendo does not find the use of proprietary software.
Team Fortress 2: Surce’s original assets of Team Fortress 2 was a problem due to DMCA breaches. Amper Software was using these assets in Facepunch’s S@box gaming mode. This was another factor that makes Valve’s removal decision logical.
Be Careful in Mod and Remake Projects
We recommend downloading these events in light, modes, rebuildings and demake projects. Valve has not been predicted in advance to stop projects in both cases.
Other promising mod projects are not blocked with DMCA letters. Note that you should also avoid incorporating copyrighted content into your projects. It is possible to rebuild or demake a game without using the original gaming assets, a example of Cryzenx’s Ocarina of Time UE5 Remake.
