***UPDATE 3-22-11***

It's that time again!
It might be a while before the next update...
A "CryEngine" upgrade/port should be happening in the next few months.
(from Crysis - CryEngine 2 to Crysis 2 - CryEngine 3)

Here's some new screens for you guys!

*Some updated "texture" work to the "Intro" shot (still low-poly WIP)
*Gillian and Metal Gear MKII hanging out (Gillian is low-poly WIP, Metal is nearly done but missing textures)

And a video showing Gillian and Metal in-game :
(non-animated...need to "rig" Metal)

ENJOY! :mrgreen:

***NEWS 5-12-11***

2 days ago the mod was featured on Fileplanet's "Crysis mods to Cry for" : http://blog.fileplanet.com/2011/05/10/c ... o-cry-for/

The mod team has just grown +1! :mrgreen:
I've enlisted the help of a very talented 3D modeler friend who I will announce soon!
There's going to hopefully be a "Team" announcement set for the "June 6th Annual Update" that reveals the team I've been keeping a secret? :mrgreen:

The engine move happens in August, so next year should be a good year for the project! :mrgreen:

***UPDATE 6-7-11***

Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of the "Catastrophe" from the Sega CD version of Snatcher and the 20th anniversay for the Japanese versions!

Today I'd like to introduce the newest member of the team Dustin Moore!
He's a 3D Modeler friend that I used to work with and he does some seriously good work!
If you remember my shitty "TurboCycle" model then prepared to be BLOWN AWAY! by the quality of Dustin's current WIP below.

I've also done a bit of work on texturing Metal, and doing a very basic test "Walk-Cycle" animation for him!
Theres a new "Teaser" showing this and some of the extra work I've done to the JHQ level! (added basic "Sky Traffic" and various things)

Snatcher Mod - JHQ + Gillian + Metal #4 :



I hope you enjoy the update! :mrgreen:

More good shit to come once I move to the CryEngine 3!

***UPDATE 7-5-11***

The CryEngine 3 tools are out! :mrgreen:

I've been playing around, but I have to re-export all the work and get it back up and running.
Here's a little work so far...maybe you can see why I pretty much HAD to move to this new build? lol!
EVERYTHING is a million times better in CE3 and more suited to my needs for the project especially the "lighting" capabilites! (which were LACKING hard in CE2).

NOTE: this is just a "test" I did using only one of my building models and NONE of the textures design or layout from the JHQ level build previously seen (yet it still looks better so far lol!).
Just imagine when I have it back up to par with my previous work etc. :mrgreen:

Actually I didn't make this new Turbocycle build...
Read a few posts above and you will notice that a friend of mine "TheSydicate" (Dustin) made it :mrgreen:
The other %95 of the work is still me though lol!

He's the "Lead Vehicle Modeler" for the project now building the main "Vehicles" and maybe a few other surprises...? :-#

A little something because I thank you all for the comments!
I will not be updating much anymore for a number of reasons.

BTW: The interior shot is an old WIP "Test" and is going to look more like it does in the original game when done.

Well its been a while...I haven't had much time to do a whole lot of work on the project this semester ;(

Here is something just for you guys following the mod here at JHQ! :mrgreen:
This is a "Stress-Test" video I made the first week I got the CE3 in my hands in July 2011 (so its a look back in time!)



EVERYTHING shown in this video does not reflect the final product or current state!

I only had 2 buildings imported into the engine at the time with the rest being Crysis 2 assets besides "Metal" and the "Turbocycle".
It was literally thrown together, but you can see a clear visual improvement engine wise over the CE2 in this early state!

*For the fuck of it I included an image of a VERY EARLY WIP of a "Snatcher" (head) for you guys as well! :mrgreen:
It's created by "TheSyndicate" (my friend Dustin) so give him a round of applause!

I hope you enjoy! \:D/

We have seen a lot of these images and videos about character renders and such, and they are very cool. But what i'm curious about is what is the gameplay going to be like? =)

There is a brief "Gameplay" section on the very first page/post of this thread that mentions some key features I'm working towards.

Think Deus Ex without so much focus on shooting shit or hacking and you have a more story and exploration driven game like Snatcher.
With the original Snatcher it's all about exploring the enviroments, finding the clues, and talking to people with some gunplay here and there.

Next year I hope to start having "Gameplay" videos though... :mrgreen:

If you really want to get into "Gameplay" stuff PM me or something...I could talk/type about it in detail for pages lol!

Well it was Deus Ex (the original) that really inspired my crazy idea to make this mod back in the day! :mrgreen:

I actually started testing my idea for the mod back in 2002/2003 using the Unreal Engine SDK that came with Deus Ex!
I only built one incomplete level and then went back to planning and working on getting into modding again.

What stands out about Snatcher to me is the very real connection to the characters that you end up with while playing.
That's probably why its still one of my favorite games and also the first game I connected with on that level when I was like 13.

I hope to immerse the player in the world of Snatcher by it being in a 3D world that offers more exploration and interaction.
The original game did that well for being mostly "Text" and menu based, but imagine exploring that world in more detail with more freedom.

Well since I mentioned it I might as well show you the very first "Test" done for this project...it's been a long journey! :mrgreen:

The "Abandoned Factory" tests Unreal Engine 1.5 (2002/2003):

The mod is now a %100 "Stand Alone" game on the CE3 SDK, er well it will be when released (meaning no buying shit! Just PLAY!)
The CE3 SDK was recently patched (this week) and my work now runs on it instead of the Crysis 2 SDK.

This is a "Day One" quick test using imported models and the old "cry" levels...(no materials, textures, or high-poly)
It's all "old" shit, but it looks so good in the new engine...so its like going back in time lol! I can't wait to add to it.


*Thanx to SpoonyBardess for music inspiration!

It will be a while for more updates...
