Crysis (CryEngine 2) Mods
Below is an assortment of videos from my time modding the 2007 PC game Crysis. All gameplay features were built using Flowgraphs (CryEngine’s visual scripting system) and other editors within CE2 (particles, gametokens, libraries, characters, etc.).
Some of what’s shown here is pretty rough and much of my work has been lost over time, but I’m very proud of what was accomplished and it stands as a monument to my first focused attempts at game development.
Note: the framerate in many of these videos is quite low because the only recording tool available at the time was Fraps, which was notoriously resource-hungry.
