Over a year ago now. I don\'t rightly know exactly when it started... perhaps that information is available somewhere on the website.

Planeshift has been around for quite some time.  More than 3 years

This also makes sense because elephants are blue.

Elephant blue is nice, indeed !  :P  

What about Planet Blue ? Ok it\'s still bigger than an elephant, but it leads the way to Solar System Blue, Galaxy Blue and ...

... why blue btw ?  Where does it come from ?

Bah, don\'t pay attention to my ramblings  :rolleyes:

CadRipper whilst we\'re into the superlatives of course Infinity Blue. Fits in well with the LINUX idea and never ending growth, talk about dyamism!

What I\'ve thought about is wether it would be possible to write a programme that programming novices (or non-existants) could use to develop areas or places (buildings etc) within the PS milieu in order to submit it for considerations. A sort of WYSIWYG for PS?

Any comments Vengeance or am I day dreaming here?

yeah - an editor of some sort would be great - but since that probably wont happen - wolfman you should get wings 3d http://www.wings3d.com  it is a very easy to use 3d editor (ok so not too easy but hey I\'ve never edited/programmed before and I can use it in the most basic sense so...)  You should be able to hammer out city concepts with that in no time (well maybe a little time)  ... but I\'m afraid I have no clue how to render (color/light) it

ROFL... Venge I could have sworn that Moogie said that you were dreaming in this thread... did you replace her message with yours?

I would imagine that some enterprising developer might come up with an app like that if there was enough demand for it. It doesn\'t have to be the PS team you know. This thing is open source so all it needs is someone to takle the job. I would consider it perhaps... hmm.... I shall have to think on this.

Zaphar we would all really appreciate that - you can get the Crystal Space (Planeshift\'s 3d engine) here if you need it: http://crystal.sourceforge.net/drupal/

I don\'t mean to place the burden on you - I would just love to see anyone make a landscape editor!

I really don\'t care when Planeshift comes out, just as long as it does!! I\'d hate to see all that hard work go to waste! I\'ve seen alot of free MMORPGs get scrapped because there are just so many problems! You don\'t get money from it, servers need to be kept up, a community needs to be reassured, and you have a life. That all adds up you know, but since its free source I guess it could get picked up by another team. This is not to say that the current team isn\'t totally awesome =D

I think a landscape editor would be a good idea, it would give the players who work so hard \"testing\" this game the chance to have some input.

I like Cadripper\'s idea for Planetary Blue, Galactic Blue etc, and when the game is finished it could be Infinite Blue!
