Greetings! I am looking for some good programming talent out there to help develop a massively multiplayer space action RPG called Celestium (currently being developed for the Macintosh). We are looking for skilled programmers knowledgable of C++ to help develop Celestium''s Linux server, game engine, and AI system. Go to the following URL for more information and to apply for the development team: http://www.alienorb.com/software/celestium.html Game Description: Celestium is a fast paced multiplayer space action role playing game (RPG) for the Macintosh. In this game you will be exposed to a rich world of battle, culture, strategy, exploration, and imagination. Choose from 6 different races and create your own ship as you interact with hundreds of people across the globe in a fully integrated online universe. Participate in alliances and organize secret missions. Fight against enemy creatures and space pirates. Chat with others either in space or on a planet or space port. Explore vast regions of unknown space and land on mysterious worlds filled with many different races and life forms. In Celestium, you may choose any number of paths to lead your character. You may become an explorer and chart the stars, you may be interested in joining the Numiri Trade Commission and make some money, you might want to start an alliance and venture out into space defending your cause, or you might even wish to become a space pirate and plunder your way across the galaxy. Outfit and upgrade your ship with alien technology and high-tech weaponry and shielding. Strategically install your weapons on your ship in any position or direction and create your own customized weapons system. Hire escort ships to fight alongside you as you travel through perilous regions of space and explore the hidden wonders of the universe

Woops. I fixed it so that both URL''s should be correct, sorry about that.

I''ve actually never heard of Homeworld, but we are planning on using OpenGL - essentially making a game with 3D graphics on a 2D perspective plain.

1) The URL is wrong. It should be .

2) This looks a lot like Escape Velocity (which I assume is the inspiration). This is not a negative comment. I felt from the first time I played that game that it should be MP, and I think you''re adding the right features for such an adaptation.

3) Have you considered a 3D Homeworld-style interface?
