The Battle for the Solar System

Battle for the solar system is originally a book trilogy of which book 1 -The Honour of the Knights- came out as a soft-cover a few years ago, something I still prefer over eBook, and was a really enjoyable read. Book 2 -The Third Side- came out as eBook last year while book 3 -The Attribute of the Strong- comes out the end of this year.

So what has this got to do with Linux, well it seems they where also developing a game around it, in their own words:

QuoteAn open source video game was at one time being developed, to go along with the novel trilogy. It was cancelled early in development, as there simply wasn't time to do both. The archive below contains the game's source code and resources. The soure code is licensed under the GPL, everything else is copyright their respective owners. Make files for Linux and Windows are included in the archive.
