Crytek Information...
The GamecityLab of the Hamburg University of Applied Science and the Hamburg@work Initiative have recently acquired a CryEngine® 2 license from Crytek for both teaching and research purposes. This game engine technology, which was originally used to develop the hit PC game Crysis, will be used for interdisciplinary student projects and both Bachelor and Master degree studies in "Computer Media", as well as related studies in audio/video technology and production.
The CryEngine® 2 is a software engine and toolkit used by game developers that allows creation of high definition 3D environments which can be generated and experienced in real-time on personal computer systems. Computer games that use this software show realistic virtual worlds with impressive real time effects. The licensing of this high end software application for students provides them with the opportunity to use current state of the art tools for game development, and gain valuable practical experience. The examination of this innovative technology should also result in the creation of totally new products. The main purpose is to instruct students in the use of this new future-proof technology, which includes learning the subjects of game programming and game design, and creating new products such as virtual reality based movies (machinima) or developing events with new content.
