= Server Downtime -- ''July 19, 2008'' =
As you probably have noticed, our server was not reachable for the past weeks.
We had to restart it, and for some reasons, it did not come back, and it took some time to figure out the problem. But we are back.
= Upcoming Orxonox Convention VIII -- ''May 29, 2008, 13:00'' =
The best Orxonox you have ever seen! It's maybe not the most beautiful version right now, but the new features are worth to look at. Come to the Orxonox Convention to see what the PPS students did during the last semester and how much Orxonox improved. The presentation of our work will be in the ETZ E9. Take an hour time to have a look at the most furious 3D shooter on Linux.
= Revision 1000 reached! -- ''6th April, 2008'' =
We have reached revision 1000 since we changed our engine to Ogre. Right now we work on a scripting engine, input system, network support, models and textures, core libraries and HUD.
= Arcturus released!! -- ''March, 2008'' =
After quite some work we want to release our latest version of Orxonox. Feel free to [wiki:download] and test it on your computer. We would be very happy to hear some feedback from you. Also our support sites may need some update, so please [https://forum.orxonox.net/viewforum.php?f=6 tell us], if something is not working right.
= Starting PPS FS 08 -- ''February 28, 2008, 13:15'' =
Another semester and PPS starts. We want to welcome the PPS students and hope for their support with Orxonox. Let's have fun and create something cool. Get more information on [wiki:PPS_main this page]. The Orxonox-PPS-Leader-Team (;-)) is looking forward to coach another group of students from the second year at the D-ITET. - Orxonox-Team

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 library 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!] Check out [wiki:Contribute this site], too.

If you are interested in our teaching or if you're a student studying at the D-ITET, we will be glad to give you more information on the [wiki:PPS_main PPS site].
