Shout out to Pittsburgh

#1 Edited by idoublespy (120 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Lived in Pittsburgh all of my life and though I am sick of the recent influx of films being made in Pittsburgh; its nice to see a video game getting the treatment.

Strangely enough though, back in 2009 I started creating a very similar 'I am Legend' game based using the CryEngine2. I took nearly 3000+ photos of downtown and rural Pittsburgh for textures and even begun rendering Pittsburgh. The project fell flat when I realized I didn't know how to make games, so it never got off the ground.

Anyway, anyone else from Pittsburgh?

I live in Maryland, and Commute to DC, and every day there is a road closed because some one has to make a film in dc.

@idoublespy: I'm not "from" PIttsburgh but I do live in a small town about an hour south of Pittsburgh.

@TheHumanDove: It was more of the programmer and artist/designer (me) didn't meet eye to eye.

Oh. That's less funny and more unfortunate.

@TheHumanDove: not sure how that is funny. I put 6 months into the photography and nearly a year into the modeling.

My wife and I are planning to move back there this year. I've been gone for eight years and miss it.

Im not from PGH, but i live nearby, about 40 minutes east and go there often for concerts and similar things. It will be interesting to see some of the landmarks.

yeah but that was like "YO ITS IN PITTSBURGH. TRUST US, ITS GOT A BRIDGE...AND A STEELYARD, SEE? TOTALLY PITTSBURGH" Im hoping this is a little more than that.

Yo, fuck the Steelers.

I was going to laugh if the first setting was in Detroit then I would have said: "Hey Detroit looks the same" but I've never seen Pittsburgh before. It would also be funny to see a Browns fan and Steelers fan in zombie/infected form fighting each other. I'm from Cleveland btw so you know which side I take on this matter.
