STALKER developer responds directly to hoax postings



They say they are in beta plus mentions a STALKER-2 engine. Their sky
system is still incredible, considering it has dynamic clouds,
especially compared to the Doom 3 engine skybox.

"To clarify the concerns of some fans regarding S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-related
rumours to have appeared recently on the net, GSC Game World believes
it necessary to explain the following:

1. The project is on the stage of beta approval and is being
actively developed in close cooperation with the publisher.
2. The team has undergone certain reductions, particularly in the
art section, due to all the graphics-related works being almost
complete (out of 40 people 5 were dismissed). None of the leads,
programmers and moreover, testers may not be reduced at any time.
3. Regarding the technology leak, none of the designers gone has the
rights to the game's engine (all the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. technologies,
including the X-Ray engine and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-2 engine belong to the
company). Even if the current or next-generation engine would appear on
the net, their legal use is impossible. GSC does not intend to sell its
technologies in the nearest time, so as does not intend to postpone the
release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl due to rumours of that
kind."
