Hey guys n gals!
The news here today is mixed. There and positives and the unfortunate truth's weve had to face on the Crytek engine lately.
|||GE:00 moves to UE3|||
Over the past 5 months our 3D art works have been tested and shown internally inside the Cryengine2 system. Many of our artists are in a couple mods for that engine, and unfortunately the consensus is that there are a few too many niggling bugs and issues. In light of the announcement there will be no further support updates for SDK these issues will now always been a lingering block on quick progress.
The very week we contemplated this move, EA poured money into the UE3 engine, so for us it was a bit of a survival no-brainer.
Additionally our lead 3D artist is more adept at mapping in UE3 and has many mapper friends on that engine, so look for us to make some more progress there in the coming months.
Sorry to those excited by a Cryengine goldeneye, it is likely not to happen, or at least not before our primary engine is prioritized. (meaning in a couple years sure cryengine or a newer engine we might try a port job)

Since last update we have about 4-5 new developers, right now we are at something like 10-12 however some are in trial phase so the team page on the site will not update until these prospective newcomers earn their wings and show us some progress love.
There is a small media update on the way, stay tuned and as always join our forum if you like to chat with us more about your visions for a Unreal Tournament 3 engine Goldeneye!!
Thanks for viewing us and take care moddb,
Sincerely
GE:00 Team
