Hard to say, really. It's been since February since the last update. Who knows.

Sorry, the project is now postponed - I don't have time to do it alone. I can share source code for unity3d, if someone can complete it.

My main idea was to show that other engine such as Unity3d can extend the life of the game.

If you could complete this project, it would be perfect.

To complete this project needs a team, money (a licensed version of Unity3d with shaders, shadows, etc.). and time. Our team is now is not ready to work with this large project = (

I finally published the source code, it work in Unity3d Pro. For the server you need to compile only "server", for the game - "lobby" level and level with the planet.
Server IP is set in "lobby" in some object (this is the latest version of the source, the end of February, but I don't remember to which object =).

And sorry for bad coding style - some scripts were in the process of writing...

Question. I don't know much about the topic so sorry if this is a stupid suggestion. ^^

If Unity 3D requires you to pay for using all of its features, would it be a possibility to switch to the Unreal Development Kit? It's free as long as the product is non-commercial (which it would have to be anyway due to copyright stuff). http://www.udk.com/licensing

It's also a little more commonly used than the Unity engine I'd say so it'd probably easier to get tools, tutorials, etc. for it.

As far as I know, Unity is very... peculiar. A lot of the work is done in a GUI, it uses scripting languages like JavaScript or VM-based like C#, etc. Porting it to anything else would be rather difficult, since it tends to do a lot for you.

At least, that's what I gathered last time I poked at it.

From what I've read (and that's not much, just started to browse through the UDK description yesterday evening) the UDK is similar in that regard as most scripting would happen in the UnrealScript language.
Though it apparently also supports C++.

Either way, I'm going to download both Development Kits and have a look at them. Even if it's just to satiate my curiosity as I hardly know anything about actual coding. ^^

One thing to also remember is to get the full use of anything in Unity you really need the PRO version. This is $1500 for those interested. Now you can do this two ways, pay for it or er... not if you know what i mean.

Whichever option you go for, if anyone is serious about the Unity engine and i've seen some games out there that use it, Battlestar Galactica Online for one, without the extra options available in the PRO version, your effort will look substandard.

Yeah, that's also an advantage when using the UDK.

Generally I think this has lots of potential. However, it might be better to go at it a little differently and first look at how Freelancer works exactly (the technical aspects) and then determine what could be improved and how. Now I'm not talking about gameplay improvements here per se, mainly the stuff that's going on in the background: The way data is read from files and the whole file structure itself, the way data is stored in files, etc.

Also it's important to not set the goal too high. It'd be totally fine (in fact, already outstandingly great) if the FL features and gameplay could be replicated. Other stuff like the walking around in person is nice and all but not stuff that should be considered at this stage.

EDIT: I checked and without a license you can't use C++ with the UDK.

What about the quake engine?

However, I don't really know much about it but thought I simple throw it into the room.

AFAIK the Quake engine is not available as a SDK or that well supported nowadays. Also, it's quite outdated from what I know. ^^

No Quake SDK? Did you check under "ID Tech 3"?
