The First-King will be single player FPS(First person shooter) open source game with some RPG elements, that will be using IRRlicht and IRRKlang libraries as base for developing the game engine. IRRai engine will be used for the AI engine. We'll try to develop our code in classes and that those can be re-used for other projects. The objective of this project is to create a game using a team approach. A documentation PDF as been written to give the guidelines of the project. The project will be mainly developped for Windows XP/Vista, but will surely be ported to Linux/Macintosh when we will have a complete team. Here is a concept sketch done by David Torres for one of the character in the game.
