If you guys are truly interested I can put together a mod kit. This will include a basic stripped-down game module with just the basics for walking around in First Person. Now you're not limited to making a First Person Shooter or anything related to Eternal War...you can make anything you want except that which requires any major modifications to the game engine.

The game engine is very powerful and includes the latest graphics features, the Ageaia PhysX Novodex API, the Kynapse AI engine, and nice level design tools.

Also, since we have licensed middleware you won't be able to sell your mod unless you work out a deal with the middleware providers.

Anyone interested?

What hardware is required (specifically graphics)? I know I can't run the Torque Shader Engine because I don't have a good enough graphics card (can't do enough shaders), and I imagine since the Reality engine is pretty heavy on shaders, I can't run that either.

If I could run it, I would be very interested.

Yes, I can be intelligent at times!!

BTW, I need to know if there is enough interest before spending the time to put together a mod kit. So post if you're interested.

Check out the Cell Factor demonstration, which just became publicly available recently:

Immersion is another Reality developer. We have the same functionality as Immersion (minus their specific weapons and vehicles, of course) so the video gives you an idea of what's possible.

(Or at least doesn't have the PC hardware to run it.)

I am very interested in getting my feet wet in some "real" game development, but I don't have the hardware to run that kind of game right now, and I don't see myself investing in that in the near future. So a "thanks, but sadly, no thanks" from me. This is really a great opportunity to learn "real" skills and have a game project worthy of putting on a resume. This is totally the kind of starter project that could help a budding game developer land a paying job at a real game development house.

In Christ,

Edit: Lava, I imagine the Reality engine is written in C++, but as a modder, you would have no need to touch the engine code -- all a modder needs to do is write scripts (usally in a C-ish language) and create data files (such as models, graphics, levels, puzzles, etc).
