Project::OSiRiON is a 3D space game under development. Its goal is to create an emersive
universe with open gameplay inspired by classic titles such as Privateer and Freelancer.
The basic components are already in place: the game supports network multiplayer,
an ingame command console, 3D models in a Radiant compatible .map format and a
renderer that should provide an acceptable framerate, even on older systems.
All game world data is loaded from easy to edit text files and each server can
offer its own customized game world.
The main gameplay elements have not yet been implemented: players are able to purchase new ships and
visit many places across the galaxy, but important features like collision detection,
weapons and cargo are still missing.
The engine is written in C++ and uses portable libraries like SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL and zlib.
Both linux and windows versions are supported but it probably compiles on most systems
supported by gcc and SDL.
