Shout out to Pittsburgh

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.

@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.

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.
