Subject: VENERANCE Announced - CryEngine 3 Mod

You are not a mistake; God has never said "oops." Seek Him and you will find Him. Do not seek Him, and you will not find Him. He respectfully leaves the choice up to you.

I guess this huge project will take a while to complete, huh?
Good luck with it.
Edit: I'm not sure this topic is safe here. I've heard mod discussion is against the rules.


Thanks! Yeah, it's not going to be a speedy deal, that's for sure. But we're not trying to grow a weed here, we're aiming for a Redwood. :P Quality demands time.

I assume this is to the pc but what game do you have to have instaled to make this mod work?

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Crysis 3 engine.

So I must have Crysis(3? only have heard of 2) to play this mod?

Negative. :)

So here's how the history of CryEngine works:

Far Cry was made using the CryEngine 1

Crysis 1 was made using the CryEngine 2

Crysis 2 was made using the CryEngine 3.

It's the same engine each time, re-engineered to be better and better. Just like with the Halo games.

You will want the CryEngine 3 to play this. Which means it is probably a good idea to own a copy of Crysis 2 for the PC. That said, this is going to be one heck of a resource-intensive mod, so, the rig needed to run it _properly_ on the very first day that it is released will not be cheap. You didn't need that extra kidney anyway, right? lol

Always up for REACH customs!

What exactly is Venerance? Is this a film, or are you making an actual game? Do you have the legal rights for any of this?

Very true, though Sigma Octanus IV *WAS* the mission that occurred previous to and simultaneous with the events in Halo Reach. :)

I just didn't see a better place for this to go. There's not really a "Mods" section here on B.net. If this should be moved, then I vote it be moved. I just don't understand where it would be moved to. :P Thanks for reading, tho!


To halowaypoint and the community creations forum would be your best solution.

I don't think you were vague enough with describing what it is, you need to be at least as vague as Bungie is in describing their future projects ;)

CryEngine is too advanced for me.. Can't understand it..

  • 03.07.2012 1:55 PM PDT

As far as concrete stuff goes, what do you guys have? Any actual "gameplay," or is it still in the pre-alpha stage?

Why, exactly, I was not notified when these replies were made, I do not know, but I'm kind of upset that I wasn't notified. Sorry it's taken me this long to reply!

Thanks! I'm glad that you feel that way. I look forward to letting you see stuff moving around in-game. Until then, though, reference videos and concepts are the name of the game. Check them out on our forums! (The videos might be my favorite part.)

Apologies for the delay in response! I wasn't notified that you had replied.

Yes, indeed, things are just fine on the legal front, courtesy of Microsoft's Game Content Usage Rules, and we wouldn't have it any other way. :)

We're not going to claim any work as our own that is not our own (nor will we use Bungie's/343i's models/assets/etc), nor are we going to try to make a cent from this project. That would just be foolish. We're not going to ask for donations or anything like that, either. This is very plainly a labor of love and nothing else.

Besides the reward of just getting to work on something Halo-related in a game engine (so freaking cool!), this project will be a great help to all aspiring Halo fans looking to get better at whatever game development skill they want to get better at, no matter what that is. We play by Microsoft's rules, so there's no worries.

Venerance is a mod for CryEngine 3. If you don't know what a mod is, it's basically where folks use the software that a game company puts out to create their own game content. That can be just a skin, a model, an animation... or many of all of the above and then some. We're the latter.

If you have any more questions, check out our About section on www.venerance.net!

Take care!

Heh, apologies. I meant to be clear. We are a mod for the CryEngine 3. Check out our site and forums for pics, videos, and more as we continue forward in making this. :)

No gameplay yet. It will be quite some time, I think, before we have that. No, right now we're just in the 2D and 3D asset creation stages, but you might be interested to know that we just welcomed Leviathan onboard as our Art Director. If you're not familiar with him, then you can check out his work at http://leviathan.bungie.org.

I will put out all kinds of noise once we have gameplay to show. In the meantime, enjoy the reference videos we've put up for folks to help visualize what we're trying to accomplish with the first-person experience in the game. :)

They're big, so right-click and choose save-as.
