Some of you may be interested in the following fan projects:
FreeSpace2 Galactica
Starshatter Remake
These are, as the title suggests, fan modifications for the computer games FreeSpace2 and Starshatter :p Both of these games are famous for being very mod-friendly, which means that it's like making a new game without having to build it from the ground up. Starshatter lets you fly atmospheric missions, space fighter combat and fleet command, a la Homeworld, all done very professionally for a one man team. FreeSpace2 looks really, really good, and has all sorts of crazy stuff added every twelve seconds. Go check it out. Really.
Why am I doing this? Because I want to quadruple the pressure on them and force them to finish. Yes, I'm evil
Oh, and to scout for talent. If you think you can help in any way ... please give.
