Steve Bender on Star Citizenās ā10 forāĀ Series
So Chris Robertās was off this week in Europe working with the Foundry 42 teams so someone make the ill-conceived decision to put Sean Tracy and I on camera together.

Star Citizen Alpha 2.0, Lucas, and ExperimentalĀ Games
So thereās this thing Iāve been working on for a year now called Star Citizen. You may have heard of it from either the gaming press or from one manās apparent hard-on with its production. Last week we delivered Star Citizenās Alpha 2.0ā¦I think thatās what theyāre calling itā¦.You an play it online- including a bit of early FPS, flying around in a Spaceship and shooting stuff, leaving yourā¦

I am a Star Citizen
I am a StarĀ Citizen
So thereās been a lot going on lately concerning Star Citizen, the crowd-funded juggernaut headed by Chris Roberts of Wing Commander fame, and some of it is utterly mind-boggling in itās single-minded, willful attempt to damage the gameās reputation and the reputation of the team making it. Mud has been slung all over the place and Iām personally rather perturbed in just the vile, almostā¦

Boom Clack- My Experience with ITTS Defensive Handgun
Boom Clack- My Experience with ITTS DefensiveĀ Handgun
So this weekend I took the Defensive Handgun class at ITTS in Angeles National Forest. I had found them through talking with a few people I know from law enforcement and entertainment and I figured that since I make so many games with weapons handling, that I might as well get proper training. The short story- it was certainly worth it and I would suggest the class for any new shooters or anyā¦

Star Citizen "Inside CIG Motion Capture"
Star Citizen āInside CIG MotionĀ Captureā
A few months ago, I was interviewed during our first shoot at the Imaginarium. As the Animation Director for CIG, my job is to direct motion capture and animation and to assure the quality of both through the entire pipeline. Sometimes itās not easy- on a game like Star Citizen, everything we do is public- mistakes or Work In Progress development is often seen by the public and thatās a new thingā¦

So there I was, just sitting at my desk, looking at animation, playing the game and talking to people about the work and along comes Cloud Imperium Gameās James and he says āHey Bender- you want to do an interview for the community?ā. Heck yeah i want to do an interview for the community. Get me started talking games and I just donāt shut up. Maybe thatās why iām doing thisā¦.

#GamerGate, Gamers andĀ Jerks
So the other day I was reading a few articles on what is going on surrounding this whole #GamerGate thing. Apparently some women are receiving threats of death and rape for their stance on how they feel about gaming culture. Iāve seen a lot of articles that also seek to define the term āgamerā and to put the term into a bad light by claiming that āgamerā is equal to the misogynistic and abhorrentā¦

RYSE Facial Technical Animation Breakdown from ChrisĀ Evans
My long-time collegue and sometimes collaborator on CryEngine tech, Chris Evans, put up a nice post on his website talking about the use of blendshapes and joints in RYSE. Check it out- heās got some good info and examples there, plus a picture of a Koala.

Crytek Videogame Patches
For the release of Crysis, I had made a bunch of t-shirts for the team members in Animation and Cinematics. I figured Iād share those with you here.
Ā The first one is the Crysis 1 Animation and Cinematic Department shirt. I designed and illustrated the logo to look like a military unit patch. Many American military units have their official motto and their secret motto. Within the circle you canā¦

Damn Cool Weapons
One of my colleagues here at Crytek, Pascal Eggert, has a single-minded obsession with anything that goes āBOOMā! Ask the man about guns and heāll talk your ear off. Heās got a practical arsenal of high-quality airsoft replicas that we use here at Crytek sometimes for reference (although unlike another German studio, who shall remain nameless, we arenāt silly enough to be using our referenceā¦

I have seen two videos now of this dude in L.A. eating everything in sight. Itās entertaining as all hell and I figured Iād share it with you.
