<p>
  Project::OSiRiON is a 3D space exploration game under development. It aims to offer
  gameplay inspired by games like Privateer and Freelancer.
</p>

<p>
  The basic components are already in place: the game supports network multiplayer,
  an ingame command console, 3D models in a GtkRadiant 1.5 compatible .map format and a flat-color 
  renderer that should provide an acceptable framerate, even on older systems.
</p>
<p>
  All game world data is loaded from easy to edit text files and each server can
  offer its own customized game world.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
