{{Directorscut|4}} is a community-driven filmmaking [[modification|mod]] for the {{source|4|nt=4}}.
This software is under active open source development through GitHub.{{ref|1}}{{branch|[[Mapbase]]}}


== History ==
{{Orphan|date=July 2024}}
The project was lead by [[User:KiwifruitDev|KiwifruitDev]] when it began development in May 2022 after discussion in the {{Sfm|1}} community regarding the desire for an open source version running on the {{Source|1|nt=1}} had sparked interest.


An attempt was made to license {{src|1}} for the project alongside efforts towards a {{steamicon|1}} release, however the request to license the engine was declined. Due to the similarity to {{sfm|1}}, the software was ultimately not permitted to release on {{steamicon|1}}.{{ref|2}}
