The target platform is SDL/OpenGL, so this game will be available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS & various UNIX operating systems, and will be able to use hardware acceleration if you have it. That said, graphical brilliance is not an aim of this project - OpenGL was chosen because it magnificently reduces development time, and for no other reason.

The game will be open source & freely distributable, although the particular license that is taken will depend on the sourcing of art.

This project is just beginning, and I heavily wish to underline that on the scale of probabilities, it will most likely be abandoned before it is finished. It all depends on how many people become involved and how many of those remain so. Please help if you can.

I am a programmer and can write the driving & game engine and implement all menus and so on, but what I am not is an artist. I will require help acquiring suitable 3d models for the various in game objects. Also, 2d art will be needed for object textures. I can adapt to any suitably well documented file format.

That does not mean I would not like help programming. The area I am particularly weak in at present is AI, and an area I have limited experience but the knowledge to fully comprehend is the driving model. Musicians and sound artists are also sought after. Finally, offers of web hosting will be keenly considered!
