"That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis."

"Yes we have been in the dark for quite some time, some thought we would never see the light again, but all we were doing is gathering content for submission.

The Raptor is finally finished. Being perfectionists, takes awhile to get it right. I'm pleased to say im satisfied. - Chris

This is the finished model raptor, we can't leave it up forever however because of legal reasons. You guys have been waiting on the big update but we are sorry to say this will take some time, so for now enjoy these screens of our "Clever Girl"."

"Cevat Yerli: It is certainly. We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a chart leading that is not desirable. I believe that’s the core problem of PC Gaming, piracy. To the degree PC Gamers that pirate games inherently destroy the platform. Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more. It was a big lesson for us and I believe we wont have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are going to support PC, but not exclusive anymore."

"This is from our Lead Developer Chris, he is very hard at work on this mod managing the mod and his job so he is working as hard as he can. This update does not mean we have permission to complete the mod, this is only an update to tell everyone where we stand at the moment.

UPDATE - I just want to let people know that this mod is very much still in existance and that we have almost the entire set of dinosaurs needed. I'm only short 4 dinosaurs. Dilophosaurus, Gallimimus, Parasaurolophus, and of course the Pteraosaurs. We have Velociraptor, T-rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, and Procompsognathus.

Unfortunately Derek needs more time before he can continue the helicopter. He is in the marines, and I know that the military keeps you busy, especially since he is in the infantry. So, he has a good excuse I'd say. He'll be able to finish it up in the next month. He has not much left to do on it, mostly cockpit.

The Jeep is always improving to perfection, as is anything that is made. Like the Velociraptor as well.

There are other models/art being worked on, but there is a set back. The Rotunda has not progressed at all. Visitors' Center that is. It to me happens to be the most important piece in this game. I would like to see some progress on it, but there are a few issues now that make things worse than they were before. I am the artist who has been working on the Rotunda, and two issues make it impossible for me to continue my work on the Rotunda; on top of the fact that I was already struggling to build some of the finer details. My desktop is fried, the only machine strong enough to run 3DSM and also CryEngine 2. On top of that, I work two jobs.. one is full time, the other is part time. Don't have time for school, and barely have time for anything else as is but I continue to dedicate myself to this project because it means alot to me.

Now it has been hard finding someone in the past to do this Rotunda. I firmly believe that this Visitors' Center alone is enough to impress any big name in hollywood. We need to have it in 3D and polished. I am looking for more talented individuals to join this team. The two main positions, character modelers, and the other for the Visitors' Center. If you are to work on VC, you need to be extremely fluent in 3DSM; know the ropes of the program. I need very skilled modelers, as professional as possible. Character modelers will need to be able to do everything needed for the character. The entire body, not just head; accessories and clothes; texturing and animating as well.

If you want to join the project, I'm only accepting two forms of communication, and one more than the other.

I prefer you to call my cell phone at (954) 854-1613. Or if you can not do that, send an email to Chris@JurassicParkMod.com. With such a busy schedule, the cell phone is really the best way to contact me. You can interrupt me all you want, because you actually have to in order to get my attention. ;p

I'm located in the State of Florida, in the United States; Stating that for reference if you are calling international. Skype is a way to call me from another country without spending an absurd amount in fees."

"Hello everyone!

As promised we bring you our second bi-weekly update. We have some great new content to share and also some very exciting news that can be found later in the update!

We first have some weapons that LakierosJordy has created for us. The first image is of 3 axes of varying styles. They are very common among the people of Exodus and are used for anything from cutting logs to weapons in battle. The smallest of the 3 can be used as a throwing axe. We will let you decide how to go about using that...





Next we have some work from Mr. Guybrush. In the last update we showcased the first of our village huts. We now have a new variation which includes the addition of a window that almost spans the length of the hut. Next we have the slaver concept created by Ursca. The slaver makes money by selling slaves and has the horrible attitude to accompany it. In other words, you don't want to tick this guy off.





Instead of a Developer Journal this week we have some exciting news to share that we believe everyone will enjoy. As we at Exodus are well aware, the Crysis community is currently thriving. As a result, we have decided to aid the communities development and therefore will be releasing the pine tree pack for use in our next update. We hope that this pack will be used to further develop this fantastic community and drive our fellow modders' projects forward.

We'd love to hear your feedback! Please visit our website and let us know what you think in our forums. If you liked what you saw and would like to join our team please [url=http://exodus-mod.com/index.php?page=contact]contact us[/url]!

"The good folks over at Trademork have noticed a March 3 USPTO posting by Crytek for "Crysis Warhead," which could either refer to a sequel to the best-selling PC game, one of those rumored console ports or a scary new experimental explosive (or possibly a long-overdue remake of an Amiga classic. Or a strange new candy. Or ...)

The recent filing isn't Crytek's first hint at extension of the brand -- the company has also filed for trademark protection of "Crysis Wars" and "World in Crysis." Whatever the inevitable sequel/spin-off/port/expansion ends up being called, we just hope they cap the system requirements now. That way, we may actually have a computer that can actually run the game in its most beautiful detail when it eventually comes out."
