In the land of Zenozoik, the city of Halstedom is ruled by a powerful clan, one which Ghat has betrayed by committing a terrible sin. Now, Ghat's brothers and sisters are pursuing him and his companion Deadra through strange and twisted lands, beyond the boundaries of the sane to the ends of the world. What was Ghat's crime and why did he commit it? The bare-knuckled brawl to reach the truth has just begun. A fascinating world of grotesque beauty--Equal parts breathtakingly beautiful and utterly disturbing, prepare to be swallowed up in a surreal fantasy world powered by the Source engine. Explore lush environments and confront bizarre animal-humanoid foes on your mission of discovery and redemption. Visceral first person fighting--Combat is up close, personal, and entirely satisfying. Start with a series of punches, kicks, and grabs, follow up with a knee to the enemy's face, and hit him with a finishing move to send him flying yards away. Learn new moves to mix it up.

Post news Report RSS Zeno Clash SDK released

ACE Team releases the SDK for their Source engine game Zeno Clash.

Posted by on

We're finally releasing the editing tools so the Zeno Clash community can develop their own levels and modifications for the game. We've also created a wiki for documentation so that users can browse through the main changes and enhancements we've added to the Source engine. The ACE Team wiki and SDK files are located at the following URL. Wiki.aceteam.cl alternatively you can download the full SDK from our ModDB Mirror.

Time to get modding!

We invite users to contribute to the existing wiki information and experiment or develop custom content for the game. The official discussion area to ask about the tools or discuss about custom content will be the newly added 'editing' area in our forums, which you will be able to find here.

We hope everyone enjoys this content release and we look forward to new developments by the Zeno Clash community.

Great. This means the users can manipulate the game anyway they want then if it's truly the SDK? I have to ask because L4D keeps using the term "SDK" when in fact there is nothing source about their development kit because it's a lie. I look forward to seeing combat system changes the most as well as new melee and ranged weapon additions.

SDK's never give the Source code of the game away, only the ability to manipulate certain things.

L4D's SDK is no different from Source SDK, or any other SDK.

Wrong, L4D's "SDK" doesn't have code, the Source SDK does.

The L4D Authoring Tools aren't called an SDK for this very reason.

So, l4d being a Source game has nothing to do with it?

Damn, was hoping to see some interesting new mods with the firstperson fighting. Eh, I'll guess someone can create some interesting stuff with just mapping anyway, I know I'll give it a try when i have the time.

We may add coding support in the future, but only if there is a lot of demand/interest from the community.
