Mock-up home-page for Dues Ex, plus some cool links!

My mock-up using original material

So we've had to do a mock-up for a website of our choosing.
I decided to use Deus Ex - Human Revolution as mine. A hotly anticipated release for this year.

The original Deus Ex was developed by ION Storm and released in 2000. It was an outstanding and critically acclaimed game at its release and can still compete with todays games, albeit with poorer gfx obviously. A highly immersive game in my opinion whereby you can choose to play the game in many different ways.

Warren Spector of then ION Storm gives a post-mortem on the game's production in this article here: Deus Ex post-mortem.

Indeed, you could say it's quite suprising the game ever got made considering what was going on with the development of Daikatana, headed up by John Romero of id fame, and thankfully, being developed at another branch of ION Storm. That game, on the contrary, is cited as one of the industry's biggest commercial failures.
Read the story here Daikatana dream.

Both articles are a good read if you're into game development.

That's my 2 credits worth! Chow,
