[Space Frontiers] ([GitHub], [Discord], [Twitter], [Reddit], [Steam Group])
95+
by [Starwolves] is an online moddable sci-fi action RPG community game
96+
simulating space (and spaceships) in 3D.
97+
98+
By the end of last year the client was made with Godot. Shortly after that the
99+
decision was made to replace the Godot project with a [Bevy Engine] client.
100+
101+
Rust and Bevy are now used for both server and client.
102+
There are a lot of advantages such as sharing libraries and neat code replication,
103+
reducing code overhead.
104+
In-fact both the server and client are now developed in [the same virtual workspace].
105+
106+
The client includes a new camera perspective from top-down isometric to 1st person.
107+
A new 3D dynamic gridmap framework has been successfully implemented in ECS.
108+
The prototype includes an in-game map editing tool with the ability to export to
109+
file.
110+
Inspired by the videogame "System Shock".
111+
There is a recently uploaded [showcase video].
112+
113+
The project is commercial, [open-source] and has a proprietary license.
114+
There is a milestone for a license change to free open-source.
115+
116+
[Starwolves.io Bulletin Board] was launched half a year ago.
117+
There are 25~ registrants left that can receive a permanent unique forum group/title.
