SE4.5 project
 

Hey folks, the forum for the SE4.5 project, an attempt to make an open-source 4x game in the vein of SE4, is now open to the public.

Please stop by and check out some of the development progress we've made and feel free to participate in the conversation. This is an open source project, so your opinions are welcome.

We're trying to make a fun, addictive 4X game that's easy to mod, just like SE4. Call it a spiritual sequel, if you will.

I am confused: Is this the same project Tim Brooks mentioned in the other topic?
Does that mean you are creating a completely new game from the beginning, not using SE IV at all??

Re: SE4.5 project
 

This is an independent project, and unrelated to anything Shrapnel is doing. Actually, I didn't even know about the Shrapnel project until now.

This sounds interesting. I will have to check out the forum. I always did wish SEIV, or III would have been released open source. Both had a ton of potential (and very good games). the potential!

For anyone who has checked out the project, I highly recommend you do. There has been an enormous amount of discussion, some very interesting sample pics posted (testing graphics, ideas, layouts etc), plus it's been named Star Legacy.
4 World Wide conferences have also been held to discuss our direction. Expect more and also the more input we have the better the game will be. SE III style construction queues are in :-)
