A 3D Game Engine

This game engine is a completely scripted freeform
animation system. It is built upon
a multiplayer framework that is designed
to handle a large number of players.

This game engine is being developed in the
vein of previous games such as
Elite, Freelancer and Wing Commander.
I also intend on providing the ability
later on of playing in a FPS environment.
This is something that I feel is missing
from many space games.

Galaxy Empire is in a very early stage of development
but it is expanding rapidly. The game engine is only a little
over 6 months old but it already contains many
major elements of the game. You are welcome
to join in the development of the game.
