Blog update #1

First news are about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. On the 1st of april(that's not joke) I found video on Youtube, where Alexey Sytyanov(game designer and scenarist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2) told us, what was happening with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. 1) There was not so much information, on every question about the game he answered: "I can't say about it now", "No comments", and all others were like the first two. 2) Leaked arts are true art of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and some of them desribes first levels of the game, as Alexey claimed. 3) Sergei Grigorovich(owner of GSC Game World) closed game studio before developer team showed presentation of first developments of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Alexey said, that this(Sergei's statement about closing GSC) had happened in the day, when team wanted to show presentation: "Few hours before presentation Grigorovich said about closing. Despite this we showed presentation, everyone liked it, but there were too many regrets that it would be impossible to bring to life. We had really good, interesting and better story line than in all previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games".

I know this posting is not it the "range" of this blog, but I like GSC and it's talented developers that gave us Venom: Codename Outbreak, Cossacks, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. All the best for GSC, these times really bad for game studio, but they released S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Of Chernobyl after all years of waiting...I think they will release S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, despite all troubles, in the future.

Second news about my engine and game on it. There are no any screenshoots with game levels or other testing levels. I am just "playing" with the engine trying to make nice graphics, balanced quality and speed.
