_mental_: I want to be using OGRE as the renderer, so that sounds fine to me!
CE: That would be much appreciated, we just need to see something to tinker with and get started on.
The reason for all of this is that I, like many other people, want to write my own game, with the help of others. We've spent a long time looking at different libraries and what not, and wasted a lot of time in dead end streets, but OGRE/ODE/CEGUI seem to be a nice cross platform solution for our needs. We want to just get the game going, rather than reinventing the wheel before we get started. If once we get going we find something we're not comfortable with, we can help out with those projects improve where we need them to.
The website for (what will be) the game is
http://www.praelium.org if you're interested ... not much there, especially after our twiki went down, but its a start. I'll make an announcement in the forums when we have something thats worth mentioning.
