The "Game"

 

So whats "in the making"? Currently we are working on our Game Engine - ReAction (OPENGL - INSERT AMAZINGLY LONG COMPLEX WORD THAT YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND HERE). You can find detailed information about our progress on this page. You will also see the same info on the frontpage. At the moment we have no clue what the final product is going to be, we just "go with the flow". I would also like to point out that we are have no experience in game development, and our goal is to have fun, do what we love and see if we can make something fun!

A word of advice: Don't freak out just because you see low quality graphics! :o) We are no expert artists by far!

Got any suggestion? Want to contribute? Head on over to our Contact form and get in touch!

PS: We do not expect to make any profit out of this, so the only thing we can offer to those who want to help/contribute, is honor and glory!
