Openciv3 - General Discussion
General discussion for creating an open source empire building game
Created: May 23rd 2000
Updated: -
In this thread, we will have conversation over the general things of the Openciv3 project. Send here opinions about the general philosophy ideas for the project. For more specific game ideas, please use the proper threads created for those.
Here I will also upkeep a list of basic info about the project, and the recent news about it.
What is Openciv3 all about?
Openciv3 is a project to create an open source empire building game. The name of the game hasn't been decided yet, but it will be the civers' vision of an ultimate civ game.
There are many civ games available. What makes this any different? The fact that it is "3" - it is not intentioned to be a clone of any existing game, but an entirely new game, inspired by the coming Civilization 3 by Firaxis. Still, it will not be replacement of civ3, but an independent game.
Openciv3 is an open source project, which means everyone can take part in making it, and the source code is freely available to anyone. Also, we don't have a lead designer or any fixed design. Everyone of you can take part in designing it - we are only beginning! So this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of making a great computer game straight from the beginning.
Where to get more information? Where to join the design team?
You can visit our website at civ3.sourceforge.net. To take part to the programming job, join our programming mailing list, which can be found from the sourceforge project site, here. All help is appreciated!
To take part to designing, simply read the threads in this forum, and send your replies. You don't need to join anything first. Every comment and idea is appreciated.
There is more to com here soon. -amjayee
