With a few ideas from my previous attempts I had an idea of what I want to make.
A multiplayer space rpg.
I'm a sci-fi nut. I love Star Trek and especially Voyager. I always wanted to be 'lost in the delta quadrant'. Commanding a most advanced star ship. This has always been the type of game I have wanted to make.
I tried a few different 3d engines back in the day. Ogre, Torque 3D and NeoAxis. They all taught me alot.
For my game I wanted to use the Hero Engine. The latest Star Wars game had used it and it seemed to contain everything I needed.
Hero Engine is an IDE that connects to an online server. All code and art work is stored online and can be edited from inside the game itself. Many programmer/artists can log into the server and edit a world together in real time. Its fantastic. All the code is done inside the game. Its like programming itself has been turned into a game. It only costs $99AU for 99 people. A 3d MMORPG engine for less then $1 each is crazy.
Check out the engine here http://www.heroengine.com/
I'm looking at using Hero but it's $99 a year per person.
