Welcome! Outlier: Open Skies has been relicensed under MIT in order to maximize the utility people will get from the source code. The short version: You can do pretty much whatever you want with this code!
In short, Outlier is a 3D space combat and trading simulator with an X3 style dynamic universe and economy with a Freelancer style open world and an inertial flight model (face in a different direction than you fly and only thrust to change direction / velocity).
The full license is below, however read this first (you'll regret not reading these).
- You should seriously read the controls in src/resource/Controls.txt
- The skybox textures are 7zipped. You need to decompress them before you can test the game. assets/Textures/Skybox contains the archive.
- When you map your joystick, map throttle to a hat. You don't want to thrust constantly! This isn't Freelancer, you will run out of fuel fast if you don't use controlled bursts of thrust to manauver.
- Outlier represents a potentially massive start towards your own space combat and trading simulator! I encourage you to ask me questions and let me know what you come up with!
Also, this game contains additional open source components
