Welcome to an official Crymod news update on the ModDB Mod of the Year Awards, where two Crysis mods have made it into the editors choice as best upcoming mod. With the closing date for the Mod of the Year ModDB Awards coming up fast, the long running website released the five editors choice mods that they have picked to be nominated in this category; our very own
Lightspire: Fortunes Web and
Petrograd. Today we've got the news from ModDB themselves, as well as the news on the winner of this category!
Editor's Choice for Best Upcoming Mod
Shown below is the statement released by the ModDB administrators that display what they were looking for in this category.
Every year, hundreds upon hundreds of mods are born—and die—on ModDB. Many barely limp out the gates, while others are die faster than their leaders can type, "I need a team!1!" But every once in while you come across a profile that shows some promise. A flash of color in their media gallery that instantly conveys a glimmer of hope. Something more than the dull greys of half-finished, untextured models or hastily scribbled level blueprints. More than a trailer that just shows off a logo. I'm talking about honest-to-goodness in-game footage—because nothing cuts through the hype more than showing your mod for what it is. The mods nominated for this category all have concrete proof of significant progress in development and will probably see some form of release in 2009.
Lightspire: Fortunes Web
"In the game, there are four different heroes, who each have their own background and involvement in the world of Lightspire. The most dominant force in the game world is the dragon elves. They are a dictatorship due to their immense army, and control of vast amounts of land and resources. The first hero - the Dragon Lancer - his story stems from them. As described in the Game World Synopsis, the elves and dragons were involved in a great war. The elves only chance of surviving and avoiding extinction would be to use magic against magic. The elves created a weapon to absorb any magical powers dragons might have had, which resulted in the rapid "de-evolution" of the dragons, and a ‘revolution' of the elves physical traits, including increased strength, vision, and the ability to live even longer than before. The remaining dragons were enslaved, to the point where dragon's mental acuity was vastly inferior to any of the elves."
Petrograd
Petrograd: an action-thriller first person shooter. Enter the shoes of a Black-Ops Special Agent, investigating the disappearance of a full city's population overnight. An eerie atmosphere and immersive environments are just the beginning, nothing is quite what it seems in this suspenseful experience set in post-USSR Eastern Europe.
Other Game Mods
Also nominated for other games were the following:
And The Winner Is...
Unfortunately, a Crysis mod wasn't the winner; instead the exciting looking
Curse mod for Half Life 2 took the crown. We congratulate the team behind the mod for taking the winners position, and of course our utmost congratulations to
LukeWarm Media and
Space Cowboys for getting their mods in the Top 5 and getting the Crysis modding community two out of the five available places. We wish you the best of luck for the mods progress and completion!
