    Hello All,
    Here is a multiplayer game I've been working on.

    - Hit the + key a bunch of times to accelerate
    - Arrow keys to turn and things
    - 1 and 2 keys fire projectiles
    - Log on with your other computer to see multiplayer almost working action :)

    Now all I need is a story, gameplay ideas, etc. :)

    Maybe a Privateer clone?

    Nice visuals, btw.

    I don't think I've played Privateer. (does it still exist?) I'm about to install Star Trek Online to check it out.

    Some of the visuals I got from:

    Some were free, some I purchased.

    The 1st privateer was a DOS game, the 2nd one was a Windows 95 game, and the third and final one was called Freelancer, which was released for windows XP. The 1st one is still my favorite. It's available on GOG for $5.99

    Could you update the first post with some pictures? Makes people more likely to click the link if they know what they are going to get.

    Privateer was sort of a sandbox pirate/shipping/space shooter rpg thingy. Basically the game dropped you off in a universe full of issues then let you go about it however you wanted, while letting you up grade your ship and follow a main story. It was awesome and yet to be redone well.

    Truth be told, I thought of trying one myself but with the addition of FPS sections for storming ships and ground level missions.
