Celestium Author Needs Help
6:00 AM | Michael Eilers | Comment on this story
Back in February we brought you news of Celestium, a "fast paced multiplayer space action role playing game" being developed by Alien Orb software. At the time this ambitious project was in need of Mac artists and programmers, and now it seems they need more to complete the Linux server app which will presumably act as a host for online games, as well as work on the game's AI and engine. Author Mike Apolis posted the following request to Usenet: I am looking for some good programming talent out there to help develop a massively multiplayer space action RPG called Celestium (currently being developed for the Macintosh). We are looking for skilled programmers knowledgeable of C++ to help develop Celestium's Linux server, game engine, and AI system. The game itself still seems quite early in development, and few details are available; however from the description, it seems to be both an ambitious and imaginative project. Here is the provided description of the game:Celestium is a fast paced multiplayer space action role playing game (RPG) for the Macintosh. In this game you will be exposed to a rich world of battle, culture, strategy, exploration, and imagination. Choose from 6 different races and create your own ship as you interact with hundreds of people across the globe in a fully integrated online universe. Participate in alliances and organize secret missions. Fight against enemy creatures and space pirates. Chat with others either in space or on a planet or space port. Explore vast regions of unknown space and land on mysterious worlds filled with many different races and life forms. In Celestium, you may choose any number of paths to lead your character. You may become an explorer and chart the stars, you may be interested in joining the Numiri Trade Commission and make some money, you might want to start an alliance and venture out into space defending your cause, or you might even wish to become a space pirate and plunder your way across the galaxy. Outfit and upgrade your ship with alien technology and high-tech weaponry and shielding. Strategically install your weapons on your ship in any position or direction and create your own customized weapons system. Hire escort ships to fight alongside you as you travel through perilous regions of space and explore the hidden wonders of the universe. If you have the skills and want to take part in this project, drop Alien Orb a line right away -- we're very curious to see how this one turns out.
