The first licensee of Crytek’s new game middleware - CryENGINE 2 - is Avatar Reality who will be using it to create their recently announced massively multiplayer virtual world (MMVW). Set in terraformed Mars, the MMVW will allow players to create personalized characters and live in a “beautiful environment.”
“CryENGINE2 is able to render the most beautiful images, in real-time, that I’ve ever seen in my 20 years in the computer graphics industry,” said Kazuyuki Hashimoto, president of Avatar Reality. “We are certain that the quality of these stunning, realistic images stemmed from the technology and not just talented artists. After viewing the images, there is no question that CryENGINE2 is the perfect engine for us to use to build our massively multiplayer virtual world.”
The engine was first demonstrated to the public at GDC. CryENGINE 2 features includes a next-generation real-time renderer, multi-threaded physics engine, character animation system, integrated WYSIWYP sandbox editor, sound editor with interactive dynamic sound system, advanced AI system, resource compile and a network client and server system.
