THIS VERSION OF THE UPCOMING GAME, CODE-NAMED FINAL FRONTIER, IS A PUBLIC BETA. IT IS PROVIDED ONLY SO YOU, THE PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET CAN SEE HOW THE PROJECT IS PROGRESSING.
MANY FEATURES OF THIS PROGRAM ARE EITHER DISABLED OR PLAIN NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. PLEASE DON'T JUDGE THE FINAL VERSION ON THIS RELEASE.
THE ONLY REASON I MADE THIS VERSION PUBLICY AVAILABLE IS THAT YOU HAVE PROOF THAT I'M STILL WORKING ON IT AND DON'T HAVE TO ENQUIRE VIA EMAIL.
Thanks to all you people who supported me during the last year of development. I hope you like what's coming.
General Description
FF is a space-opera 3D real-time game. In it, you pilot a single-person space vessel ('the Ship'). You can trade goods, hunt pirates, or hire out to other people/institutions for specialized services. The object of the game is not to reach a specific goal but to explore the galaxy and survive long enough to become renown and rich.
You begin the game with a small, puny litte ship and very little money. Likewise, you only have limited knowledge of the galaxy around you. As the game progresses, you (hopefully) become more experienced. Your (on-board computer's) knowledge of the surrounding solar systems broadens with every new system you visit. These solar systems have complex political/ecological attributes and knowing what sells good where is crucial for your success as a trader.
After you have made some profits, you will be able to buy better equipment for your ship, such as a cargo compressor (so you can load up more cargo into the same space), better weaponry or more efficient engines.
After some time, you might also want to get a general service commission to be able to hire out to other people who require some additional hands. After you have built a reputation, more challenging missions will be offered to you...
