Source uses licenced middleware such as Havok so SDKs are likely all we're going to get officially. Source 2 might be a different story if HL3 releases one day since Valve replaced audio and physics with in-house technologies.

That’s kind of the goal of S&Box, no?

I thought the point of s&box was to make a very profitable micro transaction marketplace.

Is literally invoking the havok api protected by licensing?

[ouchqt]

Yep, IIRC Havok’s licensing explicitly disallows redistribution of their technology, including headers and pre-compiled binaries.

Source 1 is a good example here, where licensees of source need to also obtain a havok license before Valve can give them any code.

Surely this works against Havoc's best interest, right? Unless their actual value is simply decent api design....
