Who would like to see an Torque engine version of ELITE?

#1 I think it would be cool :)

#2 I remember Elite, and it was. That game rocked. I look forward to seeing what is done... :)

#3 David Braben, one of the two people behind the orginal Elite, is currently developing Elite4 with his company Frontier Development.

There is also an Elite Club from Frontier Development, whose aim is

Quote:The idea is to allow people to freely download the games as shareware, and also allow people to access the source code and legitimately update the games - bringing them up to date with current technology.

Undoubtably, this will be under a license of some kind, and this license may conflict with the Torque Engine license.

Personally, whilst I thought Elite was great (I spent alot of time playing that game), I'd be keaner to see something new. Since it will take a substantial amount of work to make a space flight game out using the Torque Engine (or any engine for that matter), it would be a shame not to spend some effort coming up with a new design.

Good luck!

sourcecode!)
