I want to play this!
Oh my god. This is Canvas, a Source modification that’s been in development for over two years. I hope this mod actually does get released and doesn’t get abandoned like many other brilliant Source mods.

Valve’s Source Engine Gets Depth-of-Field And Improved Dynamic Shadows
Valve have just announced a new free game called “Alien Swarm”, which was developed by a group of talented designers who were hired from the modding scene. According to Steam, “…the game thrusts players into an epic bug hunt featuring a unique blend of co-op play and squad-level tactics.” The game looks pretty interesting, but the part that caught my eye was the rather quiet announcement of several new features for Source, including Depth-of-Field, improved dynamic shadows and a (real) third-person camera.
These new features will be part of a new version of the Source SDK. In addition, the game will include the full code base for the game and the code for the updated features for Source. Neat, huh?
