Nice work. Not sure hoe Media Design School didnt get it (or one). They seem to be the best school around for gaming
Yes we are very excited to have this license agreement.
We are currently testing the new features over the coming weeks. A much cleaner and cooler editor layer out than Sandbox 2. As we have an educational agreement we can now get out students to study all aspects of the engine. I hope other gaming schools can get there hands on it so we have a supportive gaming community. The physics are amazing.
Very keen to test out the load to console functions.

This is very exciting as I teach there.
iv'e had a a good play with it and it's huge improvement from cry engine 2. the editor has had a major face lift as well as improved physics.

Will people be able to actually run the games properly?
we only got the engine source code the sand box editor and some assets and also a program to load the maps. so it did't come with a game or anything but it should be compatible with Crysis 2 when it comes out.

The Educational SDK is not meant to be run on Consoles, as it is for the purpose of studying Crytek's technology.we only got the engine source code the sand box editor and some assets and also a program to load the maps. so it did't come with a game or anything but it should be compatible with Crysis 2 when it comes out.
Potentially we could make standalone games and simulations but that would be outside the agreement we have with Crytek.
I never even knew there was such a place here in Tauranga.
I was commenting on the very high requirements to run crysis properly....

Digischool is a Media Arts school by the way. Digischool also uses Vue8 for 3d landscape animation.
