Your Design-Doc is alright, but you need to include much more technical aspects. Such as how movement/navigation should work, how combat will work, what the maps will look like and what interaction is required between the player and the universe.
It seems this could become quite a cool little team project, I definitely want to be a part of this.
[QUOTE=blankthemuffin;22178015]Oh come on efex, I thought you were able to take things less than 9000% seriously. Did you even read his post or just see 'git' and decide OMG BIG ARGUMENT BREWING BETTER GET IN FAST TO STEM THE TIDE OF DEBATE.[/QUOTE]
you obviously didn't analyze my post sir i am not serious. please calm down.
i love git!

Will do, sir. I'm working out some of the details as I type, so hopefully over the next couple days I'll post something more useful to you.
Git it is.
I got your add on steam, can't wait to start discussing it =]
If we do get a little team going, how about we make a group on steam for it that we can use for group chat? Alternatively; I could set up an IRC channel.
Olothontor, get your ass on steam. :D
Sorry, for whatever odd reason it refuses to connect via my school's Wi-Fi.
@Chris: Sounds like a good idea, I'm down for either option. I'll go ahead and start a Steam group, though, and send out the invites. As soon as I can, that is.
So what do we think? Steam group or IRC?
Irc
I'm planning a game with many similar aspects. I may contact you in the future.
Excellent. I'd love to hear from you. Perhaps we could butt heads and swap ideas.
Also, Chris, let us know what the IRC channel is through PM or Steam or something. I'll try to log in as often as possible.
Ok, IRC is registered as #solace-dev on Freenode
Thanks, Chris. I would log in now, but I woke up late and gotta rush to class.
Not a problem, I'll speak to you on there later :P
Dammit. The school network won't let me connect to the IRC. I'm about to strangle somebody.
While I'm here, have a concept art update.

The second ship is still WIP, but mostly done.
That's unbelievably good, you have a LOT of talent
I'd be interested in aiding in some way with this. Mostly because of your avatar and amazing ships, but it seems like a cool idea. I'm not like the god of all things C++ but I'm pretty good at it. If the need ever arises, I could make a website for the game too. Also, idea for the game (that I'd find awesome) would be an add-on system with Python. Python = elite.
This project gets me kinda interested. I guess I'll hop on the IRC some time.
I'm quite skilled with C++ and I'd be happy to care about portable (or at least multi-platform) code and compile Linux binaries, apart from 'normal' code contribution.
Ah! A compiling in Linux would be great! I'd be happy to have both of you contribute. Hop on the IRC, friend me on Steam, or both, whatever you like.
Great to have your interest!
I would love to help... but, as I've already said, I need to become better at c++, good luck to you.

Ditto. Cross-platform = kewl.
I could potentially help with a Mac version too though it depends on how much platform-specific code the project uses.

On another note, you should probably use git for the version control. I've yet to use it but adding new files and what not for svn gives me issues a lot.

Oh and it should definitely be open source under either CC or MIT license.

I plan on it being free, but having an optional donate button somewhere. Also, if we can keep up with this and update it once it's done, we can have optional pay-only add-ons.
Just a thought. But I definitely don't want to require money for the game itself.
my emphasis was more on the open source part and less on pricing and the licenses though open source almost always means free.
Right.

I'd be up for porting it to the Pandora when it finally comes through my door :D
sort your priorities out folks :)

Got to admit, you're a good pixel artist. Would rather work on my own stuff though.

Just come and join in with us!
I'm hardly an amazing programmer myself, but working on stuff like this only makes me better.
Do you guys have room for one more? I wouldn't collaborating with you guys! I'm pretty fluent in C++ and would like to work on your project(s). :D
If it helps, I'm currently enrolled (early) in university to double-major in Mathematics and Computer Science.

Hmmm, I tried using the Freenode client, but it didn't seem to work (Unable to Connect: null). Any suggestions? lol
Then again, I'm at school, so maybe that's the culprit.
