The Exodus Project
What is the Exodus Project?
The Exodus Project is a small student Project developed in 2008 for the “Master de creació de videojocs” from the UPC in Spain. The first public version was presented on the 23rd of September.
The game is a tactic RTS with no Construction/ Resource Gathering centered around small skirmishes in another planet. There are two main armies, the G.U.T (Humans) and the Verderan (Aliens).
The whole game is completly modable and any user can create new unit types, new weapons and change all the ingame Fx's at will. There is also an inbuild editor that let's users create new levels from scrap along with a complete scripting system to bring them to life.
How it was created?
To develop this project many external aplications and frameworks were used. The most important is Ogre3D which provided the graphics engine needed to run the game. We decided to use it because developing our own graphic engine would have been too much for such a small project and Ogre provided what we needed already done.
Along with Ogre we used FMod Ex for the audio and TinyXml for the xml parsing but aside from those everything else was build by ourselves including the physics engine.
What's next?
For now the project is closed, since the team needs a break, but in the future we might work on it again and publish it as an Open Code RTS game.
