+ Project::OSiRiON is a free space trading and combat simulation under development.
+ Its goal is to create an immersive universe with open gameplay inspired by classic titles such as
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Commander:_Privateer">Privateer</a> and
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_(video_game)">Freelancer</a>.

- The game uses a custom engine, written from scratch in C++ and
- uses portable libraries like SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL and zlib. Physics and collision
- are implemented using the <a href="http://bulletphysics.org/">Bullet physics library</a>.
-</p><p>
- The basic components are already in place: players are able to visit multiple star systems,
- buy ships, trade cargo or join a game on a network server, but important features like
- weapons and player saving are have yet to be implemented.

+ The engine is written from scratch in C++ and uses SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL, libjpeg, libpng, zlib
+ and the <a href="http://www.bulletphysics.com/">Bullet physics library</a>. It is
+ a work in progress and evolves with the game as required.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The basic components are already in place: players can start a single-player game,
+ or join a network server. They can purchase a ship and explore the universe and can even earn
+ some cash trading cargo. Other important parts are still missing: games can not be saved and
+ there are no weapon nor combat features.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The game aims to be fully customizable. Common and easy to edit file formats
+ make it trivial to change most of the game settings and world definitions.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Packages of the latest development build are available for windows and linux.
