Who am I?

Today I would like to tell you something about my self more.

Well, my real name is is Frederik Vogel, I’m German and I was born in 1983. I’m also known as Freddy, Schalftehler or Stane in many forums.

For the last 2-3 years I worked on the Mod RTM(www.returntomana.org) for HL2 as Head-Coder, but unfortunately we had to put it on ice because of not enough time and members. Therefore I have some more time, which I want to use to increase my experience in Game developing and Programming and that’s why I started this Mod

Usually I’m studying Computer science and Psychology, but at the moment (June 2007) I’m doing a break for some months, to improve my English in Cork(Ireland). The next two semesters I’m going to study in Japan on the Island Kyushu in the Prefecture Oita. In this time I don’t want to study there only the Japanese language, society and culture, but also to start and finish my Mod for Crysis. After this, back in Germany I will finish my studies and I would like to start to work in a Game company or if I don’t feel ready for this, I do some further studies on a special Game School(Digipen, GamesAcademy, …).

Status-Table and Wiimote

Many things happened in the last time.
I moved from Japan back to Germany and after two weeks I moved to Ireland. I’m there for the next 3 months.

But I found some time to make a first version of a status table. It’s not very detailed yet, but gives a first view of the whole project and the release times.

I also was thinking about an implementation of the Wiimote controller. I never played a first person shooter with the Wiimote, but I can imagine the problem that First-Person-Shooters have which are controlled by Wiimote. That’s why I’m not really sure if a Wiimote support will be a gain for the mod or just a funny thing for some minuets. I will think closer about this in the next few weeks. I have some really good ideas to use the Wiimote in a good and useful way, but this would change the whole mod.

What do you think?
Should this mod support the Wiimote controller in a useful and playable way, which would cause some more changes in game play than just replacing the mouse movements with the Wiimote, or do you prefer a controlling like Red Steel?

Added Game types

Today I added a first description about the three different game types of this mod.

Mod started!!

Hehe what should I say, with this post the developing has begun
