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 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. Combat features are under development.

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. Most of the world customization can be done server-side, without the need for clients to install additional world definitions. Packages of the latest development build are available for windows and linux.
