Orxonox is an open source game.
It's a mix between a spacecraft shooter and a first person shooter. It plays in a post apocalyptic world, where humanity struggles to survive under the threat of extermination by the Noxons, an evil alien species.
We started this project in May 2004 and since then we have written our own game engine and created game content for the first levels.
This year we made some major changes affecting the whole code of Orxonox. Because our own engine got to its limits, we decided to rewrite parts of Orxonox with a third party librariy and changed to the open source engine [http://www.ogre3d.org Ogre]. Find out [wiki:about more about us].
To become a part of Orxonox yourself write a post in [https://forum.orxonox.net/ our forum] to tell us about your ideas! Or just ask us about our ideas. [wiki:about#Contact Contact us!]
