I don't want to whine, but the graphics here has none of the charm of original MOO(2), instead it looks like cheap themeless Qt application :<.

But 3D part is very nice.

@WahookaTheGoblinKing If you have any specific suggestions for how to make FreeOrion's interface look nicer, please post them on the FreeOrion forums.

Is the project still under development ? Although this video is from May 30th, I only found forum posts dating back to 2008-2009 at most. Just understood how to play, I still don't understand what every technology does but it's very interesting. A bit slow though if you don't have the right planets from the start :)

I hope you guys are keeping upthe good work

@hashkenhabib What forum are you looking at? The forum at the official website (see link in channel profile) has posts from a few hours ago. The latest SVN commits are a day or two old.

Maybe able to be equal or even better to Moo2, but those guys developing it should get backup from like 20 people to finish it within the next 2 years...!

@qwxp437 If you know 20 C++ and Python programmers, artists and designers / content creators / writers with an interest in 4X space empire / exploration games, we can probably find something for them to work on.

[freeorionorg]

@elfirebrand Many hours (years) of volunteer work to create original code, content, and art, which is released under "free" licences and hosted for download at not cost.

umm.. do you know what happened to freeorion website? :-s

[mcturky]

is this still under development or has it been shut down? if its still going does anyone know when the 3D combat thing is going to be up and running? cheers

[mcturky]

i think the graphics are good aswell as the interface but does anyone know how long untill the 3-d combat thing is released??

@WahookaTheGoblinK I agree: MOO II graphics were cool because you got to see your people and MOO III graphics were whack because you are largely alienated from them. Very simple.

@WahookaTheGoblinKing This is an open-source project - It's a community effort - There are no companies behind this. I personally really love this game!

@MrBannersBroker

One of the major differenced between free orion and nexus 2 is that free orion can be played. Nexus 2, last video from 2006, doesn't even have a release date.

[MrBannersBroker]

Master of Orion 4 should be like Moo2 with better graphics. The combat should have this level of detail and graphics I believe.

All I have seen so far is 1990's level game standard

Take a look at the Nexus 2 trailer to see what you should be aiming for in the combat section.

Looks great. I have very fond memories of MOO II, i'll give this a try.
