The development of the open source tactical rpg known as GalaxyMage slowly but surely died out over the last year. It is unfortunate that it happened, but I believe everyone involved felt that it was going to be too much to make any progress with what we had.
Personally, it was my first contribution to an open source project. I learned a lot about what goes into managing the madness of many people coming together from different lands and different walks of life to create something as complicated as a computer game. I would like to thank Colin McMillen for starting the project and giving us greenhorns a chance at creating something wonderful.
Recently, when the GalaxyMage website went completely down, I decided that I would like to give the project another attempt using the experience from the first try. Just as I started laying out the design, I read over at Free Gamer that a new game project had been announced with the name GalaxyMage Redux. As it turns out, a GalaxyMage revival was on more minds than one.
If anyone is interested, the new project is being hosted here by our new fearless leader Brandon Barnes. We are currently in need of talented pixel artists, musicians, story tellers, and programmers. If you are one of the above, or just want to tell us how you want your TRPG to play, then stop on by the forum and say hello.
