Spacer: What if Freelancer had more realistic space?

[Backo]

Thing is ..what you doing in that it's possible on freelancer too with what we have scripted so far, just needs a little more tweaks

Any videos of that? I'm actually intrigued how far the Freelancer engine can be pushed and seeing planets orbit around the sun in Freelancer is something I'd have never imagined to see.

This is very cool. As a big fan of Starsector this appeals to me greatly.

The developer in me must ask: what engine / languages are you using to make this? Will it be open source?

The whole thing is written in Zig with dynamic linking to the SDL2 library for graphics and audio. As for open sourcing it - I haven't decided on that yet, but if I end up abandoning the project I would probably just put the code out for others to use as they wish.
