I've been posting this in all sorts of different places on the ASW boards and have hijacked a few topics. ArcAngel Counterstrike suggested a separate topic for this, and here it is.
For the currently available screenshots, go here: (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/farpoint")homepage.mac.com/farpoint(/url)
IMG has an article: (url="http://"http://www.insidemacgames.com/news/comments.php?ArticleID=6071")http://www.insidemac...?ArticleID=6071(/url)
Just to repeat, this is not Exobattle or MT. It is being programmed in OpenGL under OS X 10.2.
More information as it warrants.

Are you going to use the ev name, or even ask? Or will you start something new? I presume this will be the equivelent of EV online. If I'm wrong, tell me.

Unless it has to do with EV, this isn't really the board for it; Just Games would probably be better for it.

We do wish to use the EV name for this, but there is no word on that yet. EV Online is not accurate for the sole reason that there is not an official name for this yet. Once it progresses further, we hope it can adopt the EV name
In the past iterations of this project (which have become ancient history now, being composited into this engine), they have all be discussed here. This engine is a 6th playable build, and I think the developer board is the only place to get serious, useful feedback on it.
It looks and sounds a lot like vendetta to me (url="http://"http://www.guildsoftware.com/products.html")http://www.guildsoft...m/products.html(/url)

The flight model alone is a huge difference. Vendetta is true 3D flight, a la Parsec or Terminus, while this is combat on a 2D plane nearly identical in combast-style to EV. I played Vendetta today, and I personally thought that it wasn't that exciting compared to the Escape Velcity series. Maybe it will change as the game progresses.
I see that it's being programmed under 10.2. Does that mean it will have no 10.1 support?

I don't have 10.2; 10.1.5 handles it fine.
I recall a while back(year or 2 ago) there were two projects being developed to create another engine on these boards; one being helian wars, I don't recall the other. Is this perhaps the maturation of one of these projects?

On a less cryptic note, there are now 4 new multiplayer shots available at (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/farpoint")homepage.mac.com/farpoint(/url)

So does that mean that this is based off of kberg's EVMP project which was also, as I recall, done in 3d?

Seeing as this is not exactly EV-related (yeah, yeah), I'm going to move this over to Just Games, where it seems more appropriate... (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum60/HTML/000729.html")http://www.AmbrosiaS...TML/000729.html(/url)
