Another Universe
Another Universe aims to be yet another online science fiction multiplayer game.
It will look like a first person shooter, but will also rely heavily on elements from real time strategy and roleplaying games.
See the Main Features list for a quick overview.
See the Roadmap for a pretty complete set of features which are to be implemented.
Project Status
It might look like it but we're not dead yet, just mostly idle.
The few developers are currently tied up by other demanding responsibilities (work/ studies), but are still not planning to let this project die. We know the development of such a huge project including all features is a matter of years. Even with a fully staffed development company with a huge budged, which we do not have. We hope to slowly increase our developer base after uploading the initial prototypes.
The Gameplay definition section is in it's final stage, but huge parts are still to be written/ copied into the wiki.
There is some progress regarding the network stack, but nothing usable yet. Sorry!
Of course, we still appreciate any kind of help offered.
Please contact Marius for further information.

Yes it's still empty.
(Communication between project members is kind of private for now.)
