Yerli added, ”We want to see what you guys can do with CryENGINE 3 and we hope we’ll be as amazed with the things you create as we have been over the past few years.”
In August, Crytek will release a CryENGINE 3 dev kit to allow total conversions and more substantial mods. Yerli stated, ”This will be a complete version of our engine, including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC.”
Both mod tools will be free, but if you want to release a commercial product, Crytek will have a licensing fee, though they’ll also help you market the product if they are impressed enough by it.
