Hello all. I've been on here a few times before but I want to let everyone know the public beta for Remnants of the Precursors, a game under development for about 5 years, is imminent.
This game is written completely in Java and all of the code is going to be open-sourced under a copyleft GPL. There will be different licenses for different media types (code, art, writing and sound) since each of these creators has different wishes about distribution. The game will obviously run in Linux, and I've tuned it so that it will run on a Raspberry Pi.
Remnants of the Precursors is a very polished modernization of the original "Master of Orion" from 1993. Although the beta is not yet available for download, you will be able to get it from itch.io: https://rayfowler.itch.io/remnants-of-the-precursors
That page also gives a decent idea of the art quality from that page although the game is a bit more polished now. The Explorminate gaming website has been streaming the game quite a bit recently as the beta approaches, so there are VODs available if you want to see the gameplay: https://www.twitch.tv/explorminate/videos
If you have an interest in game development or simply want to see what a serious game developed in Java looks like (trust me, I've had a lot of doubters), then you should check out the public beta on Easter. Although I try to centralize all of the discussion about the game to the /r/rotp subreddit, I will respond to any questions about it here as well.
