Cry Engine on STEAM

[Azmodeth]

Apparantly Chris Roberts uses the Cry Engine app from Steam itself..

“CRYENGINE is, for my money, the best looking and most full-featured engine currently available.”
Chris Roberts, Founder and CEO, Cloud Imperium Games

Only $10/Month for full unlimitted access for developers. LOL

Anyways, don't mind me, I'm bored.

Huh...didn't know CryEngine was on Steam. I thought you bought it right from the company or something.

I wonder how much it costs to buy the license outright or if they even offer that as an option.

Lots of companies will license software through third parties; we're just used to steam being only for games, btu they've done software licensing for a few years now, and just recently started branching out into streaming movies as well.

*EDIT* to address richard's thought: custom or contracted source licenses are typically done through a company rep who's typically responsible for managing the details of, payment for, and any auditing or support for the software.

@Grakees has been in and out of it over the last few months. I think other things have kept him distracted on dedicating more time but I think he was able to load some Vanduul stuff.

Actually, Chris Roberts uses a fully sourced CryEngine from CryTek, the tools on Steam are actually a slightly limited version.

CIG has full access to the source code. The subscription version does not.

This is because the Great Roberts enjoys snuggling with the Yerli's every gamescom. I hear it's nice.

I know right ? I was thinking the same thing...for ages.

Last time I asked they quoted me 150k US$ for a full source code license.

that's not that expensive if you put it in perspective how much a game costs to make, and the fact that it's quite a vital part of the game.

I think the price changes according to scope, studio size, and expected turnover. Also the 150k meant I had to pay royalties to Crytek with my sales. For completely royalty free license I think it goes above 1.5mil.

Yes, I have been in and out of the engine a bit over time - here are just a few of the pictures. The major blocker was that SC did a ton of changes which did not play nice with 1.1.3 SC and the Engine so getting it all to work was a pain. However with their newer stuff I will be back at it and doing some more fun stuff. Enjoy the little bit so far with more to come...

We should recolor the Retaliator to Black and yellow/gold

Electrohull Plating Pink to make them think you're harmless, then black and yellow to let them know you're drunk.
