It's not everyday that we launch some big (did you say huge?) project on the net and stick on with it. So this is it. The website is still small, but it's there. The forum has been set up last month, and has been filled with useful information and guidelines about what we want to do. Oh, I almost forgot to tell what we want to do!

With a couple of friends and some volonteers, we plan to make Space Geeks, a video game in the ancient Elite spirit. In case you do not know Elite, check this Wikipedia page about the game.

The first step is to emulate the Elite spirit: same kind of interface, same kind of music, same trading and navigation mechanisms. And the whole thing must run on Windows, Linux, and maybe MacOS (if we meet MacOS developers). Then to go on with more realism. Physical spatial engine, true navigation, true economy, more ships, more planetary systems, etc.

For more information, check the game design document linked on this page.

Space Geeks is not only about an Elite-kind of game. It's also about an entire universe, some space opera in the tradition of Star Wars and Star Trek. The adventures of the United Federation of Geeks and the other factions will be told in the library.

You are welcome to help us make this dream come true.

Official links to the forum and library are in the column on the right of this page (right now there are just redirections).
