Press Release: New Blog on the Hammer Basics

Garland, Texas February 27, 2011 — Emily Pich has created a blog for tips and instruction for the map editor tool Hammer: World Editor. A Source Engine enthusiast, Pich had a large interest in the game engine, but not a lot of knowledge, especially with Hammer. However, she stated that by creating this blog and teaching others, she would also be able to teach herself.
Her knowledge comes from a variety of sources, such as Valve developer commentary, Source SDK wikis, and even from amateur tutorials found on the forum community Facepunch. Her current posts include both overviews and step by step instructions with both text and screenshots. The instructions reportedly match Pich’s own progress in learning the program.
Hammer: World Editor has been used by Valve and modders alike since the era of Half Life, and these days is used mainly for Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 mods and custom maps.
