Oriongame is a free massive multiplay 3D FPS game with RPG elements. In this
release, much effort has gone into the engine, such as: multithreading,
multiple levels of configuration, networking, a major plugin restructering
and lots of bugfixes.

We've finally made it! Our first release of OrionGame and OrionEngine is here. As of this point, we're going alpha-stage.

Don't expect too much of it, we loaded a level of an xml-based map file. Our lighting finally works correctly now and made a 'person-like' object.

OrionEngine is a modular 3D engine based on opengl. For this release we've fixed as much mem-leaks as possible. There has been heavy work on the modular system, so it's not that hard to make another module and plug it in.

It appears we have some minor problems with the updating of the homepage, and since most of the activity is at the site, it appears as if we're not continuing, but we are. you'll probably will see a lot of changes on the site later.

so please: read the site and post any comments (be they good or bad) on the forum. and if you think you can help us, please do so by posting in the forum or mailing it to the project admins.
