Uncharted developers offer game’s source code to first-party devs

July 2nd, 2009 1 Comment   Posted in PlayStation 3, Software, Technology

Naughty Dog is looking to really further the Playstation 3’s development, recently announcing that they will make the entire source code for Uncharted available to all of Sony’s first-party developers.

Evan Wells, co-president of Naughty Dog, said the following:

“We’re very fortunate to have a great group of first party developers within Sony that we’re able to collaborate with. We’re frequently exchanging technical ideas and even share some code from time to time. We’ve even posted the entire source code of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune to Sony’s internal severs so that any first party developer can look through it, or borrow from it and we plan on doing the same thing when Uncharted 2 ships.”

Let’s hope that Naughty Dog’s contribution to the community will help other game developers get their games on par, at least graphically, with Uncharted.

crysis-warhead Crysis wasn’t exactly known for its modding prowess, but Crytek hopes Crysis Warhead will be, as the studio announced that the tools needed to make modifications or new levels for the game will be released soon.

"As most of you will already be aware we have not included our Sandbox Editor or MOD SDK with the disc for Crysis Warhead or Crysis Wars," reads a post from a Crytek community manager.

He writers further, stating that the studio focused on delivering the gameplay experience and to get both single and multiplayer modes perfect. However, they are now working on the editor and SDK solution for the recently-released semi-sequel, adding that it will be released “as soon as it is complete and available.”
