Crytek announced that a level editor for Crysis 2 will be released early this summer(July'ish hopefully). Using the level editor, you can create new maps, levels, items for Crysis 2. Crytek also announced that they will be releasing a CryEngine 3 SDK in August.The SDK will allow you to actually build your own games and so much more(compared to the limitations of a level editor). From the site “It will be a complete version of the engine including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC”. Sweet. The SDK will also be free and with opportunities to publish games you produce(you need to refer to their licensing site). Perhaps we can have someone do a Crysis 1 CryEngine 3 conversion. Good to see Crytek moving aggressively in this direction. Definitely following the Epic Games way of promoting their engine.
