about

| Star Control TimeWarp is an open source clone/sequel to the epic cross-genre game Star Control II. Currently it includes only a combat portion, although there are some plans to expand it to include an epic adventure. The plot of such an adventure would not have anything to do with the name "TimeWarp". Star Control: Timewarp is often affectionately called TW. TimeWarp is written in portable C++ and is known to compile and run on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows (with the exception that it is still not 64-bit clean as nobody of us has access to such hardware)

development

TimeWarp is developed by a group of Star Control fans. Though the game is quite playable now, it is far from being complete. The development of this game is still going on. Please note, that this is a real project, not just a collection of plans, ideas and dreams like in some other places in the net. Things may seem to change slow, but there is real progress and every new version is (we hope ;-) better than previous one. Anyway it is better to have a working game than lots of ideas, but no code at all. All the work is done in our spare time, so don't expect that your nice suggestion will be implemented in a short time. If you are badly missing some feature and think that you can make it youself, your patch will be welcome (if it does not break all the rest ;-)
You can support the project by participating discussion in TimeWarp forum, where you can post suggestions for future development or just any questions about TimeWarp.
You can support the project by posting bugreports and patches in TimeWarp Bugzilla
