The Original concept for this video was just to create a short musical tribute to the old version of the game, however it gradually gained momentum and evolved into a bit of a documentory film/fan fiction taking what happened on that final night and then extending to the next level.

This film gave birth to a new entity that will be launched properly late 2011 early 2012, Entropia Productions.

About Entropia Productions

Always bring a tear to my eye seeing old version.
Cryengine may have better graphics, but it lacks, or the designers lacked the spark that set vu9 and below apart.
The skeleton that danced his last dance, and got no peds, the statues etc.
all gone :\
I liked the places of interest maps people posted, now it's just cut and paste, with some brush and trees thrown in.

Anyway, plus rep for the fond memories

I like the bug at the end. Will have to view the videos later tonight when Im not at work. :-)

Attn: MA. Lets make some bugs like that, and let us shoot them... or perhaps help melee out by making a few UL Flyswatters!

Im not sure its possible to have bugs to that detail in a game enviroment, since that was made for film usage it woudlnt have been designed purely to take into account real time playability of it all.

And film usage of ce3 is rendered frame by frame at extremely high resolution and then edited together in a video editor to make it a video, so doesnt matter at all if it lags, as it wont stutter one bit, being every frame etc.
