Zack Adaszynski and myself had planned to do a game map in Valve's Source Engine SDK editor. Our friend Tom Chandler joined SDI and we decided to work together in a group on our initial project. Another guy in our class called Tom Oxley (who looks identical to the first Tom) had been doing a project with another guy called Reece who had left SDI. Tom Oxley needed a group and our's was the only one that he could really join.
After about a month of Zack trying to train the rest of the group in the Source SDK, we all decided that that project just wouldn't work with four people, two of which had never used the program before. We then came up with the idea of designing a website called "in a nutshell" which was like a mini Wikipedia. The idea was that people could write up an article on a topic that was short and to-the-point, no more than a paragraph or two. Basically, that topic "in a nutshell".
While we liked the idea and the name of the website, we now all realised that we had our own projects that we were interested in. We split the group up and did our own thing. Zack started modelling his house in the Source SDK, Tom Chandler started an architecture project, Tom Oxley started an art project and my Crysis project was born.
