The Osirion project is a game engine in the early stages of development. It's written in C++ and uses SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL and zlib. With this project I want to get some insight in the involved technologies and game development in general.
The goal is to create an engine that uses common file formats and a game world that is easy to edit. In other words, you should not have to be a rocket scientist to create something yourself.
World data is loaded from plain text .ini files, object models are loaded from quake2-style .map files. Support files for GtkRadiant 1.5 are included with the game data.
Project::OSiRiON is the name of the game that uses the Osirion Project engine. The game is located in a still unnamed region of space with gameplay inspired by games like Freelancer and Privateer.
Right now the game world is a rather large sandbox. You can fly around in different ships and explore the solar system, but important features like weapons, docking and collision detection are not yet implemented.
