OSE Project (new Babylon 5 game!) needs team members!
Well, my name is Emi, I'm part of [b]OpenSpace Softworks[/b] (OSS) Team.
We are developing a new game engine, named [b]OpenSpace Engine[/b] (OSE), to be use on a new [b] Tactical Space Combat Simulator / Capital Ship Command Simulator[/b] of Baylon 5.
[u][b]OSE[/b] is based on the:[/u]
· [url=http://www.ogre3d.org/]OGRE[/url] as graphical engine;
· [url=http://bulletphysics.org/wordpress/]Bullet[/url] as physics engine;
· [url=http://www.lua.org/]Lua[/url] and [url=http://www.rasterbar.com/products/luabind.html]LuaBind[/url] as scripting engine.
[u][b]Our goals [/b][/u]
Is to make a freeware game base on Joe Michael Straczynski's serie, Babylon 5.
A fan built Babylon 5 game open to fans from all communities,
A modern game taking inspiration from B5 mod/games,
An up-to-date graphical experience/gameplay which will leave fans truly amazed! :), duplicating the quality of the CGI from the show on OSE,
An easy to modify platform which will remain stable with many modifications installed,
Gameplay with Realistic physics model,
Telling an interesting drama/suspense story with B5's spirit.

Good luck with the game :)
Hi my name is Spirit, I have nothing to offer outside of playtesting and constructive criticism*.
*warning criticism may not be constructive
If you were using Panda3D or Python I could help, sadly I know too little C++ :(
Thanks
[QUOTE]Welcome to Firstones, the beers are in the fridge, the nuts are all over the place.
Good luck with the game[/QUOTE]
:laugh: Thanks

Of course they can be :)
[QUOTE]I hardly have time to play games anymore... so all I can do is wish you all the best with your project as well. [/QUOTE]
That too bad. But thanks anyway :)

Man my brother and I were talking about this last night.

That's too bad guys. We are working on C++. If just you know anyone that may can help us, we would appreciate :)
Thanks to all of you for the support =) [B]so please pass the news about this project[/B] :D [B]and that we need new members[/B] ;)
I have update the main post with more information about the project.

Edit: Yes, I said might could. No, it was not an accident. I live in the south, I'm allowed to poke fun at the grammar of the area I live in. ;)
One request.
Small, frequent releases, even if it just simple prototypes :D
That would be so awesome. You could trap G'kar and Londo together! Drop a lift 10 stories in a second! Always route the lift Talia rides to wherever Garibaldi is!
Sadly, I cannot help you as I need to push the humanity forward, but I wish you good luck!
I can't help but reinforce this point. Regular releases--even if they are basically buggy tech demos--serve two purposes. First, they keep people interested. Showing progress of any sort is miles beyond what most developers do. It's effectively free press. This also allows people to see the regular improvements made and is basically free marketing. Second, it's essentially free bug-testing, which saves you post-release hassle by having multiple users chime in on the state of the project.
Ok, you are wellcome to help. Just tell me :)
[QUOTE]What sort of game? Shooter? Racing? Tube Lift Simulation?[/QUOTE]
Is going to be a [B]Tactical Space Combat Simulator / Capital Ship Command Simulator[/B].

Mmm... I don't know about that. I have to talk with my team first.
Thanks to all for the support :D
We are going to open a sub-forum about the project on this forum soon..

Small infrequent releases will improve your project success. Take a look at all successful open source or community projects, and the frequency of those that survived and thrived and those which died.
Frequent releases also give you a LOT of momentum, at least in my experience working on CityMania
This is what I've been waiting 12 years for.
Update Dev Team list on the main post.
We almost finish the website.
