General Infos
Orxonox is an open source project that started in february 2004. At the moment we are about 15 active developers
manly from the
ETH Zurich
and other nearby universities.
Our goal is to create
a funny and exciting 3D action game. Infact Orxonox shall become the most furious 3D action
game the open source game community has ever seen!
Until now there is no official relese of Orxonox.
Setting and Storyline
We already have a description of the game universe as well as some ideas about the story itself.
At the moment there is work going on to define a concrete mission line for the game. We take this very
seriously because we beleve in games with atmosphere. And so should you :-)

game engine.
