Firstly I apologise if somehow I have sent this to the wrong people.
Hello fellow 4X space game developers,
I'm the lead developer of the Thousand Parsec project (http://www.thousandparsec.net/).
Through my travels to gather support for my project I have found many other similar (although not exactly the same) projects. Each project has a unique and extremely interesting point of view, however all the projects seem to have fairly small communities.
A naive person would think that we would be better to join all our efforts and work on one single project, however you'll all understand the impossibilities of this ever occurring. However we can all share both communities and ideas (and possibly through this code).
What I am proposing is developing a game neutral site (include neutral towards my own project) in which all these similar games can be promoted, discussed and which will help bring together our respective communities. This site would be completely non-commercial and would be funded through my own pocket and donations. I plan to call this "thing" the "InterGalatic Internet" and will reside at http://igi.cc/.
I have setup a mailing list http://igi.cc/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo in which we can hopefully discuss issues such as;
* What should be included on the website
* Ways to promote cross pollination
* Ways to aggregate (or syndicate) news and other similar
Even if the website is a total flop I still hope it will have brought us fellow developers together.
Please subscribe to the list if you are somewhat interested.
Thanks for your time and hope to chat to you all soon.
Tim Ansell aka Mithro
