Two Suns.
What is Two Suns?
The simple answer is, Two Suns is an online space game that is currently in development.
How does Screeb fit in to this? Well Screeb is an offshot that is a development platform for Two Suns. It was designed as a test program to build systems in before they were pushed over into Two Suns but it got big and cool, and I thought it would be fun to release.
The long answer is.. Two Suns is a long term project that I started a few years ago now. It started as an exercise in AI development, originaly I was going to code an ant farm, but I figured that no one wants to actualy play with an ant farm so I changed my mind and decided to use space ships.
So far I have developed a working concept, and taken that on to a full development stage. There are 3 parts to the whole system.
- The Server - The server maintains the universe, accepts all the connections and manages the flow of information. The server will not be released to the public at this time.
- The Client - This is where you play the game, it will be the interface into the world. It will connect to the server and will not run in an offline mode.
- The Game Editor - This is where the universe is built, at this point it will only be released to the game developers.
Two Suns is still in the early stages of development, as I have taken a year or more off and am only just getting back into things. But it has moved forward in great leaps over the last few weeks. I am the only developer and these things take a lot of time, normaly games are built by teams of people that include developers, coders, grapics artists, and so on, but I am just one person so things will go at a very slow pace.
Most of the graphics have been done by Kursd, but he is MIA at the moment and I am trying to chase him down.
Well thats what Two Suns is, keep an eye on the main page for updates.
