Today, we are announcing the Alpha release of the Dota 2 Workshop Tools. This is the first release of a new set of tools to create, play, and share custom maps and game modes for Dota 2. This is a developer focused release and currently has high system requirements which means not everyone will be able to run the tools. At the moment the tools require a 64-bit version of Windows and a Direct3D 11 compatible GPU. We are working on expanding the number of PC configurations (including 32-bit OSes like Windows XP) that will be able to run this but wanted to get the tools out there so developers could start working on their Custom Games. You can find more info here .
In other news, as you recall from The International, Techies made a surprise appearance during the All Star match, giving hopes of fun and mischief to Dota children all over the world – that is until Arteezy decided to ruin the dream. The Dota 2 Team is working on the Compendium Stretch Goals and putting the final touches on the explosive gang. We’re aiming for a release by the end of August.
What do you guys think about this?

Meh… Although this does seem like an interesting tool… beyond Dota 2 I don’t see how useful it is. It seems like you can only author maps and game modes for Dota 2 and only for free…
Although that’s only what I’ve read so far

Got to remember that these tools are in alpha stage. It is missing a sound editor ATM and a few other tools are referenced in the code but not there.
This should explain some things
More tools are coming!
