Rift is a video game I've been working on in my spare time for years now. It's nowhere near complete, but it's starting to be interesting enough that I thought I'd open it up to the public. At the moment this is a project that would be more interesting to people who like to make games rather then play them. But as the features pile on it is my hope that I can shift the focus to making an entertaining game.

The genre for Rift is the classic space game. I'm trying to find a way to merge the action of a first person flight sim with the depth of a third person asset management game. Players interested in building empires should be able to happily buy, sell, or trade their way to riches. Players who want to get in the cockpit of a fast attack ship and dogfight their way to fame an fortune should be able to do that. Likewise players who want to command a fleet from a capitol class ship should have fun too. Basically I'm trying to merge the best aspects of all the space games I've played through the years. I doubt it's an attainable goal, but it's been a lot of fun trying to get there.
