[QUOTE=SCopE5000;35244086]So I guess the deal could be better described as: 20% of profits, capped at $1.2 million.
Of course, if you straight up buy it, CryTek facilitates you a lot more, throw in a lot of support and so on to sweeten the deal.[/QUOTE]
No they do not sell engines on royalties to AAA studios. They pay up front.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;35242131]Holy shit that cloth thing was amazing
no fucking way that was real time
Well with today's multimillion dollar games, I bet a fair amount of companies will do something with it.[/QUOTE]
The cloth is not simulated in the engine, it's been done in Maya or in other 3D app
that supports point cache exporting, then it's loaded as a point cache sequence into the editor.
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;35235974]Crytek only charges in percentages of sales income, but they will give you an estimate if you present them with projected sales. Whatever this DigitalBattle is working on must have a potentially high income when it's released.[/QUOTE]
That's only for independent developers.

If you want to access source code for CryENGINE 3 for a AAA title, please register to get in contact with Crytek for our standard licensing terms [/quote]
[QUOTE=mac338;35236841]I have a feeling this, like Unreal and Source, will be one of those engines that just keeps getting updated year after year with no end for it in sight, because the tech is so adaptable.[/QUOTE]
Source is so terribly outdated in so many ways that I'm pretty amazed VALVe still insists on using it in everything they make.
[QUOTE=Saber15;35255700]Source is so terribly outdated in so many ways that I'm pretty amazed VALVe still insists on using it in everything they make.[/QUOTE]
Because it does what they need. While Valve do license Source out it's primarily for their own games.

As previously mentioned, it does what they need. And granted, while it isn't as mindblowing as Crysis was when it came out, just look at games like Portal 2. It's beautiful, and their faceposer system still blows a lot of facial animation you see out there.
