About

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 Privateer and Freelancer.

The engine is written from scratch in C++ and uses SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL, libjpeg, libpng, zlib and the Bullet physics library. It is a work in progress and evolves with the game as required.

The basic components are already in place: players can start a single-player game, or join a network server. They can purchase a ship, explore the universe and earn some cash trading cargo. Other important parts, like weapons and combat features, are still missing.

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.

Packages of the latest development build are available for windows and linux.
