= Review of Convention X -- ''May 28''
The Orxonox developer team was proud to present the next great step of Orxonox. The presentation was great according to many from the attendands and great praise was expressed. As Orxonox made the first time impression that it is fun to play and acctually playable, mainly because of the three new gametypes developed by the PPS students, but also because of a new pickup system including a inventory using the GUI. The graphics had made another leap with more and nicer effects and a greater variaty of content. Last but not least there is finally sound in Orxonox, which helps a lot to create a exciting atmosphere.

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.
