Title: Want to announce my spacesim project
Post by: razorjack on April 22, 2008, 06:50:19 am

Hello,

I've launched my project blog for an own spacesim experiment called "Simerge". I'm aiming for a spacesim which should be somewhere a mixture between "X3 Reunion" and "EOC: Independance War 2". Simerge (Merged space simulations) will be an economy and combat simulator like X3, but instead of sectors it implements a world configuration like I-War2 has.

Project Simerge is an experimental platform to develop my game engine.

Cool, I'll be keeping my eye on this.

Shame that people were too busy to help you out with getting that planetary engine into FSO a while back, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes.

@lostlama:
Later I had to realize that it wasn't possible to implement a planetary engine in FS2. Or better, it's nearly impossible. I ran into bug chaos and had to give up then. But right after that I began with Simerge.

@Davros:
I-war is my favourite game, too.  :) Especially the freeform flight possibility. Unfortunately, such a feature is too rare in space games.
Thanks for the texture link. I will take a look at it.

I like the I-War / Defiance plot/universe more than I-War 2's corporate stupidity...............


Go Commonwealth!

(Although i really really enjoyed being an Indie and commanding the Rome Spartacus ;)

As always. I'm searching for volunteer developers.
If someone is interested, he can take a look at the project site.
