The guys on Project Offset have updated their website. Seems it is coming along nicely.
Here is an overview of the game they are making with their own engine.
Game Overview
Project Offset is the very pinnacle of epic fantasy warfare: A class-based union of visceral, close-quarters melee and long-ranged shooter combat set against the backdrop of cataclysmic war. Features in the game include:
- An engaging single player adventure, experienced through the perspectives of multiple heroes from two warring factions and an extensive online component to continue the war alongside or against other players
- Two ferocious armies, composed of culturally diverse races and classes, providing unique play experiences with different abilities, weaponry and tactics
- Ridable war beasts such as Siege Trolls, ferocious Lizards and charging Battle Boars
- Objective-based multiplayer combat that focuses on capturing, constructing and destroying key points throughout the battlefield as well additional game modes to extend the mayhem
- Breathtaking visuals powered by the bleeding edge technology of the Offset Engine; Life-like characters and environments, brilliant lighting effects, rock-solid network code and physics.
Also of note, in their job section they are searching for an Xbox 360 programmer to handle porting, maintaining, and optimizing the codebase for the Xbox 360. Seems their game may come to the 360, which is good news.
