This is a remake version of famous MMORPG game Galaxy on Fire: Alliances, which the servers have been shut down officially on June 28th, 2019.
The project aims not to recover or reuse the art resources made by its original producer Fishlabs (Deepsilver for now), so the remake would not involve any decompiling or models digging as well.
Basically this would be a new game, only the settings (Eg. game play structure, overall story background, specific terms) would be inherited. But base on further discussion with the copyrights holder, these might also change in the future.
We are several former GoFA players who have a common wish to revive the game with our own hands.
If you have interest in helping us pushing the project ahead, you may contact project initiator Clement_Levi.
Currently we work irregularly (mainly based on GMT+8), as we are merely doing this project in part-time. But maybe with enough motivation we could divert some more attention to this pay-less project ;>
Working languages: Chinese, English
Our documents are located at ./docs/... . Within a few more commits, our docs will be readable for new collaborators or users who want to understand this project.
Please note that some of our images are not published with binary picture files (by which we are referring to those with ".pu" appendix name), as we are saving some disk space for you. If you want check the images out, please install PlantUML locally and compile the images by yourself, or check the online version of compiler here.
Project APIs will be released once the project is finished, and we are right now working on it (special thanks to ApiFox for the tool). The APIs right now is only for our team, and if you wish to join and read, please contact us.
Unfortunately due to the lack of manpower and project developing experiences, this project is making little progress... But we are still slowly crawling forward.
