I had never even heard of this game until today. I was looking up some TES V: Skyrim screenshots, and stumbled upon Project Offset, a totally badass looking epic fantasy FPS.

unfortunately, after drooling over a few youtube videos, I come to find out it's been cancelled since July. But then I saw "new" content (screens and trailers) keep getting post-mortem releases, including some as recently as the last week. All this makes me wonder, does anyone have any insider knowledge? Is this a game that will likely come to fruition maybe 5 years or so down the line? Or is it totally done for? It looks like it could be very fun. (hard to tell from just videos, but certainly the concept intrigues me)

 

also, I read in an interview that before it was canned, it was at a level of total playability. think it's possible to get a pre-alpha version of it somehow? I'd love to just mess around in there for fun if it was possible. (yes, I'm aware this is a borderline ridiculous thing to wonder about, what with IP non-sense and whatnot)

 

any info you all might have would be appreciated!

look at the comments:

 

"It's possible it may hit stores in 2011 or 2012. After the disconnection with Intel, we got our team back and started working on it." dated four months ago

 

 

good news?

iirc they refounded and all the IP (whatever there was to begin with) is pretty much Intel's baby. So yeah, chances are they wont attempt an Offset 2.0 considering how slowly it was progressing pre-Intel and they'd also need to rebuild the engine from scratch and try not to run into any Offset Engine IP... pretty tricky stuff. That said, I'd really like them to surprise the world, they seemed to have some rather brave and clever folk in the core team (somewhat id-ish) :)

      Things have been so bad these days for me...
      Just a year ago, I've been feeling dizzy, I thought it was nothing, today's stress, that type of thing, went to sleep...Still dizzy! 9 more days dizzy, went to doctor (I would have gone on the first day if NOT for the long appointment time)
      Said it may be Neck Dizziness...I did exercises for 6 months, no changes.
      Went to a Physical Therapist, went to another, no changes.
      I've asked my doctor for a full check this time.
      I hated yesteryear so much due to personal reasons, this year might be the same.
      To be brutally honest, I'd rather have cancer or/and chronic pain than suffer dizziness any second longer, especially when nothing helps.
      Hard to enjoy Thief when you're dizzy so I was hoping this year, Winter will be best for me.

      Hello mappers and taffers! 

      Are you still out there? It is so calm here these days and I am afraid this is no good sign.
      Proof me wrong, tell your best friend (=me), that you are still here and that you will not go away!

      Happy Labour Day, my taffing taffers & hard working mapping friends!
      And remember the poor souls who, within the Inventors’ organization, labor under Jonus’s yoke to ensure the success of that very guild! Always remember the hard workers!

      Is there a script command to make a screenshot?
      I just though it could be interesting to be able to create a screenshot at a certain point in time. Then use that screenshot possibly in a debrief.
      I guess the second question is: Can you use a (in-game made) screenshot in a (debrief) gui?
