Natural Selection 2 has changed engines.

Unknown Worlds had previously licensed Source but are now making their own engine. I guess it's good that they can make something perfectly suited for their own needs and they don't have to shoehorn their stuff into someone else's engine. On the other hand, when my as-yet-unborn niece/nephew excitedly tells me about this game called Natural Selection 2 coming out, my wrists will be all arthritic and I won't be able to play :(

Actually they seem quite enthusiastic about this, so, good? We'll see what happens, I guess!
