Nah, that's not such a problem: any engine changes that breaks mods
will break their own games too. They do have a separate branch for mod
code with various internal things removed however, which I reckon is
what bogs things down.

I'll give them that. I can see the same problem they've got to deal with
everytime they update the "regular" SDK code base. Breaking old mods that's
no longer being updated! There's bound to be people complaining.

They've got the right idea with Alien Swarm. Every update to the game is
matched with an update to the source code. I doubt that will happen with
Portal 2 though...

Unfortunately we've already seen it will never happen. This makes me sad.

It's probably true that it's malleable enough to do more traditional FPS
stuff with, but it still kind of makes me feel like the SDK is a
second-class citizen. Maybe this particular problem is easier to deal
with
than I'm envisioning, but the SDK is definitely "quirky" in a lot of
ways
besides. It makes UDK a bit more appealing, with the very regular and
very
substantial updates it's receiving... despite my preference for C++, and
the
ability to get closer to the metal with Source. However, it's
understandable
that Valve has a lot on their plate, and many more people waiting for
Portal
2 than the next SDK drop. "Making games is hard."
Tough situation.

I haven't look into the code in detail yet, but I've heard that Alien
Swarm's code is exactly capable for a FPS mod. Just by playing with the
console you can make it in a FPS vision (though obviously not pretty),
but
they didn't really remove a lot from the original engine code base, so
the
stuff for FPS is still in there, it's just that you might need to play
with
the code here and there a tiny little bit to get it back to normal,
since
they added a lot of new things by themselves.

It's also totally gimped for anything that's not a top-down
player-controls-an-npc shooter. Atleast that's my understanding after
poking through the code a bit.

Actually it's already available. The one Alien Swarm using is a
version
in between Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2, if I remembered correctly. One

developers mentioned that on Facepunch. And Alien Swarm is TOTALLY
FREE,
along with its full source code.
