Obsidian Edge 2: Crysis Mod

[Yorick]

I got an email this morning about Obsidian Edge 2 having an update. This one promises monthly updates containing Feature Focus and Media.

Our History

Who are the Polishing Weevils?
Over two years ago a group of friends that had crossed over from Ghost Recon to Far Cry fell in love with the capabilities of the Cry Engine. However they felt that both GR and FC had something missing in their gameplay. So the Polishing Weevils were formed with the aim of producing a game that took the best elements from past tactical shooters like Operation Flash Point, Ghost Recon, Ravenshield, Call of Duty and others, and then added their own unique twist.

Our Approach for OE2

Team Building

A lesson learned from the first release was that the most valuable resource for any game development is the team of people behind it.

Given that there had been some turn over in team membership and the fact that Obsidian Edge 2 was going to be a greater endeavour, Soroc went about recruiting a new team.� Obsidian Edge 2 is a ground breaking FPS with the accent on realism. To meet the aim of providing players with the ultimate edge of the seat playing experience, an A list team was assembled from within and outside the existing Crymod community. Currently 22 strong Team we have specialists in Coding, Level design, 2d and 3d modelling/animation, texturing, sound effects, music, documentation, Quality Assurance and PR.

The December update has been released (yup we had to miss Nov )
The release includes some details on why we have been quiet for a while, we present our Game Mode "ENEMY TERRITORY" and last but by no means least, we unveil some in game screens of OE2 environments...
As always feedback is appreciated either here, or on our forums.

thanks CuZ.

thanks CuZ. :P

it doesn't sound good that they have had a "change over in staff." hopefully the bulk of the work was done before the new people arrived. not that they can't finish it correctly, it's just harder when you're completing someone elses tasks.

Nice update. Thanks for the info. And the WIP's look GREAT!

Thanks RogueDOC
@Brindled: We only lost one member, but they were in key position, and it was actually one that was due to be featured in the Nov update.
Sadly their work (completed or in progress) went with them, so we had to re-allocate work to new guys and in some cases completely re do some models.

We are over the hiccup however, and have measures in place that will prevent a re-occurance.
