Here's another couple that I ran into. As far as I know, this is all above board and legit. I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm dying to try out this Privateer remake located here. I used to love that game and it's nice to see someone take an interest in it. Heh, it's probably why I like StarFury so much.

It's using another engine, the "Vega Strike" engine which can be found here.

If you liked Privateer have you tried Freelancer? Also if you like Starfury you should check out the Peoples Mod at Nemesys.ca

I actually do own Freelancer--I didn't like it as much as Privateer actually. Heh, don't know why, but it just didn't click.

I'll have to check out that mod though, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the link about the Privateer remarke Rogue! (Six minutes to go and counting... high speed connections are nice sometimes)

For people interested in remakes keeping an eye on SourceForge.net is fun. Many old favorites trying to be remade as open source projects.

In fact I was remembering a pretty good game here that went open source there. Runequest or something like that. Might make a good base to do the coop project off of. Bring it "back into the fold" so to speak.

I'm amazed at how many people really pour a lot of talent/time into those free projects. Heh, I wish I had even a little artistic talent. As it is, I'm about as creative as a dirt clod.

Okay, you got me, the dirt clod is probably more creative than me!

I am a most creative person myself, but the critic does not seem to appreciate my art. I mean, an empty white picture is absolutely wonderful, isn't it? I might even add a few black dots, but that would be the extent of my art.

Of course, I am also one of the best programmers who has ever seen daylight: I have actually figured out how to make a simple sum on my calculator. Impressive isn't it? Aye, I am the Fifth Well of the Carriage!

For some its a hobby or a way to use their work skills away from work. For some its a way to "break into the business" and get some resume material. Some of those projects have later gone commercial
