Half-Life 3 is evolving, mechanics are expanding and optimization is underway - insider

Some fans continue to wait for a new part of the franchise and try to find information in updates to other Valve games.

Recently, blogger-insider Tyler McVicker, specializing in Valve, released new material about Half-Life 3. He examined the latest news from the dataminer community, who are looking for information about the "HLX" project.

For example, the expansion of the vehicle system is noted; a new particle system (allegedly it was created specifically for HLX), which will be able to handle liquids; a friction system.

There was also a mention of a system that should handle cases when a player destroys some part of an enemy.

In addition, there are traces indicating work on optimization. For example, a system was introduced to record the time it takes to load any game element.

There are also specific optimizations for enemy AI files; and a system that determines the reaction of enemies to events.
