Freelancer 2 (?)

Not a MMO… but a early scaled down MMO / Space / RPG with persistent world stuff… really RPG heavy though… at least that was the original design intention was (as far as i have read in the past)…
I know it’s been stated before… as that was the catalyst (finding that out) that drove me into modding InSaNiTy… hehe

Very interesting.
Seems like some kind of russian guy according to username
(although youtube says he is from UK) -
I think he just likes playing IL2 a lot
-
Anyone know something about this? A web site, some description, any information?
-
I dont have a clue
looking around his YT channel i found this -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Jjf70suDA

it’s me
as for my FL style game remake here’s some of it’s implemented features:
-> login server with account database, character creation, startup char templates.
-> world division by zone servers (a single ZS can run several systems) + master zone server.
-> world synchronization(creation/modification of any object), smooth physics, working PvP.
-> customizable ship appearance depending on equipment
-> .ini based data scripts like FL has(visual effects, systems, equipment, ships etc)so basically it has much more than what is presented on my few videos

So at youtube you repeatedly said it’s just a tech demo, are you going to further work on it or drop it eventually?Because it looks pretty good so far, especially the features sound nice!
There’s already a project doc(thanks to some other dudes that help me with it), about 18 pages, so at least I have strict stated goals what to finish. Not sure about dropping, too much effort already spent(both code and models). Anyway, Im going to implement at least all of the current FL gameplay features, then dunno, it’s quite far time point for a solo project: maybe find fat publisher?

That sounds like a terrible idea. -
well “find a publisher” here I mean that “finished” tech demo could be a starting point for a bigger project, if not, well at least it will be a good platform to build up FL style worlds.

Well for this project if you want to make money your best bet is to get MS backing. They own the copyright to FL and if you try to go with another publisher you run the risk of them suing you into poverty. Your other option is to release it as a free game, MS tends to ignore that type of remake since it usually helps make money for the original. Then again if you do it well enough they may simply buy you out…

It wont be Freelancer with all of FL’s stuff - another story already made, another names, another universe, all this already exist on some pages of project doc(for those who interested in it I can share). My goal is to recreate FL’s gameplay atmosphere, which is important. Also Im not sure about making money with it, if some publisher will be interested in final tech demo - sure that would be nice, if not - well at least there will be a good platform for FL style games for free, but minimum at the end of next year.

Such a shame that you’re all working individually on different projects trying to achieve the same thing, rather than working together on one. Funny old world!

as for me, I have a small team: me coding + 1 story/ideas writer + 1 helps me with modelling, working for about half year already.
