Hi all,

Just to let u know theres a fantastic game project in the development stages that you may have heard of called ‘project offset’.
The game engine is amazing as it has real advancements like major particles effects, dispalcement/normal maps, and gorgeous visuals with large open ended level design.

The website is www.projectoffset.com

Check out vids at:

But they have been a little quiet on the news front for the last few months until recently, when IGN posted this link:

As you’ll see the bar needs to be filled in order to see more of what they are doing, so spread the word plz.

Thanks

Sonder!!

I’ve been keeping my eye on Offset for a while now. If you look closely at their website, you’ll see some of the ZBrush screen shots. :slight_smile:

Offset is more than just a game, though. It’s an engine, and they are licensing it to other developers. Red 5 (founded by one of the former leads at Blizzard who spearheaded World of Warcraft) has recently announced that they have licensed the engine for their current project. More info isn’t currently available, but the interviews make it sound like it’s going to be a new MMO utilizing the 64-bit power that the Offset engine is built for.

Will be very interesting to find out more as time goes on. With ZBrush being such a power house for displacement map generation, and the Offset engine using real-time displacement mapping, I think ZBrush is going to be taken into some pretty cool places in the near future. :smiley:

Aah, so they are using Zbrush? That’s nice! I have been looking into Project Offset from time to time, but thought it had come to a standstill… Apparently developing a new engine and making a game for it just takes such a long time. They few scraps of media on their site are exciting though, so I’ll stay tuned!
