Welcome to the “Crysis Weekly Update #12”, an official status report from Crytek to the world-wide community in order to get you up-to-date on the progress of various Crysis related topics.
Today we have some important news about the future of the Crysis Weekly Update. In addition we update you on the upcoming CryENGINE2 documentation and the last stage Multiplayer part of the Intel / Crysis Mapping Contest.
Crysis Weekly Update becomes Crysis Monthly Update
When we started writing the Crysis Weekly Update back in January this year, we had quite a lot of things to tell the community, mainly about the development of Patch 1.2. With the release of this patch the weekly update also featured other Crysis related topics such as the Mod SDK, Dedicated Server, Anti-Cheat Protection, our Crysis Outtakes video series and of course the match Crytek vs. Community.
Now we have come to another point where the content of the weekly update changes slightly. The Crytek Multiplayer Dev Team started working on a longer term project for Crysis. It is definitely related to Multiplayer, Patches and the ongoing Crysis Multiplayer support, but it is too early to reveal more bits and pieces at this stage.
Thus we decided to turn the Crysis update from the devs into a monthly version from now on. This will provide us more time for gathering enough information, news and assets exclusively for you and sending them out in one great Crysis update per month.
So keep your eyes open for the first Crysis Monthly Update in May and get ready for some very interesting news. ;-)
Upcoming New CryENGINE2 Documentation
We also got some great news for all the Crysis modders out there. This Friday we are going to release a huge update to the CryENGINE2 documentation provided on http://doc.crymod.com.
Sandbox2 Editor Documentation
The documentation for the Sandbox2 Editor probably receives the biggest update that includes brand new tutorials for you to read through. Additionally we will upload a whole bunch of new references that help you understanding several aspects of the editor itself and its respective tools. And we are also going to re-work some of the already available tutorials to make them more accessible and easier to understand.
Asset Creation Guide
We also got an update to the Asset Creation Guide that is meant to be used in conjunction with the Crysis Mod SDK and covers various topics regarding asset creation, installing CryTools and using these together with modeling programs and the Sandbox2 Editor.
Video Tutorials
And last but not least we have a few new video tutorials in production already which we will release within the upcoming days. At the moment we are evaluating the feedback from the community in the respective thread (http://www.crymod.com/thread.php?threadid=23965) which helps us to create a new list of video tutorials we will produce next. So if you have a request for a specific tutorial just place your post there and we will make sure it finds its place on our to-do list.
