New Portal Release is 100% Ready to Launch, But There's a Major Problem

A full fan-made remake of Portal, called Portal: Alive & Kicking, has been finished after 15 years of work.

The game still cannot be released because the team needs Valve to approve a non-commercial release tied to modified Portal 2 source code.

The delay highlights how licensing and legal constraints can block even completed fan projects.

It underscores the risk of relying on proprietary game code for community-made remakes.
