As it says, the game is currently in the planning stage. I just created the project a few days ago. I'd like to set up a basic home page. I also need to get WinCVS reinstalled on my machine.
Like many projects here, I could really use some help. Hopefully this game will attract a few developers. SubSpace/Continuum, despite having been stagnant for a number of years in terms of development, still has quite a following of people who play regularly. My hope is that this game will be even more successful in the long run.

Okay, here's an update. I got WinCVS installed and I got a VERY basic home page set up which just has a bit more info about what I'm trying to do.
I've begun work on the graphics library. The graphics library is basically two components: A set of interfaces that define a generic library, and then a Direct3D implementation of those interfaces.
I'm using Direct3D despite the game being 2D because DirectDraw has been made obsolete by MS. Anyway, it's Direct3D emulating 2D.
Anyway, the reason for the breakup in interfaces is to allow for other implementations for other platforms. It will allow for an OpenGL implementation under Linux/Mono for example.
I'll create some basic test applications to exercise the graphics library and once that's all pretty stable, I'll be doing something similar with sound.
