question about video game level editors 

hey, are there any tools like Source Engine's hammer that are:

* available on linux
* don't require me to purchase a game first?

I'm getting really nostalgic for the level design stuff I used to do for portal and half life 2, and I want to mess around again, but don't have windows

question about video game level editors 

@lizardsquid UDK? I think there's free copies of that accessable but I dunno if it's linux friendly.

Unity has level editing tools too?

question about video game level editors 

@Draekos it's not *just* level editing tools I'm looking for

I'm looking for stuff that is like Hammer

question about video game level editors 

@lizardsquid Hammer was just the map editor no? I mean both UDK and Unity are game engines/tools like Source.

@Draekos yes, I'm specifically looking for the map editor, not the engine

I don't care about what engine the editor is attached to

question about video game level editors 

@lizardsquid dunno, I'd still point to Unity because it's free and there's boatloads of tutorials and stuff for it. Dunno if you're going to find a stand alone editor. Sorry D:

question about video game level editors 

@Draekos @lizardsquid Unity is not officially supported on Linux yet (though there's builds) and I don't think there's anything like Hammer (or will ever be again, it's Valve's hombrew stuff!) but if you just want to make levels to run around in, Blender has a game engine!

question about video game level editors 

@Efi @Draekos I feel like I've miscommunicated my desire - it's less that I want to make levels, and more that I want to make levels *in hammer* (or some very similar tool)

question about video game level editors 

@lizardsquid @Draekos there's no similar tool! it was made -specifically- to make the games Valve made with it XD
