Off the Map, a unique collaboration between Crytek, British Library, and GameCity, is a competitive project encouraging students to create interactive environments using CRYENGINE®, and this year brings forth a sinister twist: the theme of 2014 is gothic, based on the forthcoming exhibition of the British Library called Terror and Wonder: the Gothic Imagination.
Tim Pye, Lead Curator of the British Library exhibition: “I’m expecting great things from the students this year. Gothic was a theme that really resonated with the students and they are fully engaged with the sub-themes that we’ve selected. There’s an infinite pool of source material and gothic itself is incredibly adaptable, so the finished projects should be very dark and spectacular!”
